I've only been on mn for a few months - August I think it was. Who else is a newbie? It's hard to tell from posts who is new and who is 'old'! Also, do any other newbies find

1 you can kill a thread stone dead with one flash of your nickname?

2 your threads fall off the active convos at an alarming rate

3 you spend ages thinking of something incredibly witty to say and no-one notices?

only joking really, love mn, am an addict!

Hello everyone ... I agree with Greensleeves (is it only a year that you have been here?
Newbies - yuck word ...

Once you have done your registration and got yourself a nickname you are a MUMSNETTER! Old or new, makes no difference

ludaloo · 09/12/2006 08:29

Oooff there are loads of newbies!!! I had thought it might be a good idea to remember a new name and try to post a or something, just to acknowledge a fellow newbie .... but I think I will fail to remember all the names!!!!

NICE TO MEET YOU ALL

ludaloo · 09/12/2006 08:30

hmmm yes newbie is quite cac! makes me feel i'm back at school!

MerrilyTooBuzzi · 09/12/2006 09:59

wow you lot were checking in early.
I had a hangover from lulumams bar. Hurt poorly ankle aswell when i fell off barstool.
Can't make the bar later as going out in RL, sure friends would think I had lost the plot if i took laptop. So addictive though.
PeachesMcLean joined in late last night when most had gone to bed. So say hi from me if you see her later in the bar. Off to buy a green thing about 5ft tall and I don't mean a christmas grinch!
christmas grinch!

SantasFattymumma · 09/12/2006 10:06

I have been here since about August as well.
My thread Kill ratio is probably quite high but i refuse to allow that to stop me.

i decided after my first few posts of being called a troll that i would simply post and post and post until someone just started to take notice.

i'll let you know when that happens

MerrilyTooBuzzi · 09/12/2006 10:27

Fattymumma can't let you think youve killed it. so here i stand before you

lulumama · 09/12/2006 10:29

me too!

can;t believ anyone called you a troll, fattymumma!! why > you are so sensible and wise !

PartridgeinaRustyBearTree · 09/12/2006 10:36

FrostyTheSnowMarsLady you are personally responsible for my new addiction -I've been drizzling madly ever since I nicked your recipe off these threads mmmmmmmmmmmm!

winterpimms · 09/12/2006 10:53

Fattymumma - do you mean this August.

I was sure you were a wise old 'oldie'.

tartanandtired · 09/12/2006 11:30
