Do you tell your friends about Mumsnet?

I have just told my friend about Mumsnet, welcome by the way if you are new to Mumsnet! I now am thinking that I will change my name, because some stuff is really personal and because she may feel that she wants annonimity on her problems. Does anyone think this is being a chicken or would you do it? By the way, if I do go I'll be back, with a new name. Thanks Mnr's.

I've told several people, and now they all think I'm a total saddo.

don't think any of them post. They may have worked out who I am, but equally they may not actually care that much

It doesn't bother me, although if I want to slag off dp, I change my name. No, scratch that - if I were to slag off dp I would change my name. Just because some of the people I've told are his friends and it wouldn't be fair.

Sometimes I just lie and say things like "a friend I saw the other day said..."

I mention mn quite often to one of my male (gay) colleagues. I was telling him this morning about the 'whats the most embarrassing thing you've done' thread which gave us both a laugh . I haven't added to that thread yet as I'm still trying to narrow it down . tbh and I know it's a bit selfish but I try not to mention it too much to other friends as I quite like it just for me.

SoupDragon · 14/10/2004 20:41

Goodness no.

But then again, I have no friends.

Coddy, I am a Bristol resident with a friend in Salisbury but I don't think it's me is it? I don't know anyone you know, to my knowledge. Oooh, or do I? If so I have NO recollection of any conversation. I'm either going mad or you're talking about someone else!

DelGirl · 14/10/2004 20:54

I thought i'd paid you enough to keep schtum Lou. I can't afford any more so will have to pay you in brownies.

sunchowder · 14/10/2004 20:57

OK, every person I meet here who has a British accent is always asked by me if they are a Mumsnetter!!! I have NEVER gotten a yes answer, but I have been looked at as if I had three heads. I hae told a few friends here, but they all think it is strange and have no desire to become a member. It doesn't make me feel bad though....I love it here!

lou33 · 14/10/2004 20:58

are they as good as the wongster's own?

DelGirl · 14/10/2004 21:00

I don't know as i've not made them yet but i'm sure they would be as good if not be.......

The only person in my life who knows about mumsnet is ds3, who is 9 weeks old and the soul of discretion. I trust him implicitly.

codswallop · 14/10/2004 21:54

WideWebWitch · 14/10/2004 22:00

Yes, my friend lives in town and it's an old house. I didn't think it was me but it just seemed a weird coincidence. Don't know anyone else in Salisbury any more.
