Does anyone else think Mumsnet is a bit clichey?

[Sunlounger]

New to Mumsnet...been on it a few times, hardly anyone ever answers posts - and it seems like the same people 'chat' to each other, and it's really hard to get involved....

lol ive kind of gone on about ice age though maisystar OOPS!!! sorry

SL - to a certain extent I agree, a couple of times I've posted on threads and really got the feeling of "ooer - stuck my nose in there when it wasn't wanted". But you only have to read through certain threads to feel the amazing warmth and support that comes through , whether people know each other or not, to feel that it's not you - it's circumstances and it's well worth persevering (IMHO!). It takes a while in RL to get fully involved, and presumably in virtual life too, but what's unusual here is we're all able to see all the stuff we're missing out on so it's hard not to feel left out! (IYSWIM)

Ok Aloha- SL if like me you had not heard of Nigel Slater there is a thread - he makes lovely chip butty's

Maisy Star I cannot find your bb thread, please bump it

Nobody's replied to my terribly helpful £100 villas at halfterm thread, sniff

No-one said where you could get decent summer black trousers for work!

And I've just killed the bar!

rofl!

Help!! Extemelely proud of myself for getting 50 active convos but each time I refresh or come out and go back to it its gone back to 25. How do I rectify that please??

There you go sl - a classic example of just jumping in on a thread when you have nothing intersting to say!

i think ive been on here too long. its affecting my brain. or maybe thats just me... lol

I'm fairly new here, and from the US to boot, so I thought I might not be welcome, but many of the people have been nice and talked to me when I crashed a bar. I made some stupid post about what are fairy cakes, and didn't expect a reply, and got a whole slew of them, and managed to even get recipes. Thanks to all who have contributed, or just chatted. I chose to join here because the site had such a warmth to it, and log on and look every day, even if I don't chat, it brings my spirits up.

Tammybear. Sorry I have had tears rolling down my face in laughter,

Hey, I've wanted to know what fairy cakes are, and I've been on MN for longer than you, colinsmommy! So thanks again for starting that thread!

Thanks maomao, I was afraid I had started a bit of a war over what they actually were. I laughed my head off after reading all the posts.

cuppy, when you want to refresh screen dont click on active convos just click back.

he he am techno wizard

lol quite alright kalex. made me laugh too heehee

Colinsmommy, I laughed about the "Coal-in Powell" thing!

Me too maomao!

I haven't read all of this thread but would just like to add that I LOVE MUMSNET and have only been posting since Thursday. Everyone has been so kind and helpful, feel like I have my own network of Angels out there. Sorry your experience hasn't been the same Sunlounger, I'd just keep on posting and hey, look at the response to this one!!!!!!!!!!!!

Once you've changed the 25 to 50 - bookmark it in your favourites!

didnt know you could do that!

how do you do that, i've tried before but not managed it
