So is it ok to talk about our families?

[SamboM]

Strange topic I know as this is obviously what we do on mumsnet a lot of the time.

I noticed that in all the discussions about "old" and "new" mumsnetters, several people said that they used to feel that they knew people better and discuss families by name etc.

I am relatively new here (a couple of months) and I just assumed that it was not done for whatever reason (privacy, stalkers etc?!) Am I wrong? I would love to know more about people eg names and ages of family, partners etc, where you live, what your partners do.

Basically I am just really nosey! If it's not the done thing then sorry for sticking my beak in and just ignore this thread.

Happy birthday for tomorrow Mammya!

One more for the list.

I'm 30, married, 2 DS's 5 years and 15 months.

Live in Sunny Sheffield.

Love ER, Ice Hockey and cheese!

This sounds a big like a personal ad!!!!

Perfectly happy with DH though, unless George Clooney is readin this!

Nettie - Do you like Brad Pitt. He's in the YURT at the moment massaging us.

Edgarcat - do we share a birthday then (9th May) as well as views on feeding babies!

Mum2toby, not bothered about Brad Pitt, but give us a shout if George pops in!

Hi Nettie. From Sheffield too. Did you know that some of us are planning a meet-up soon? If you think you might be intertesed have a look under Meet-ups: Yorkshire Scultpure Park.

Don't know if anyone is intrested but thought I'd add a link to DD's home page - has some photos.

Mollie's photos

Another Scot from Edinburgh. By the way, did the Scottish meet up ever take place?
I am married, DD 8, DS 6, me 42, DH 52.

Edgarcat and Lindy are you trying to stalk my DS - he is 4 on Thursday. But if you promise not to pick too many fights you can come to the party on Saturday (no nettle wine but lots of chocolate....). And bring the family. We've got 32 children coming so a few more won't do much harm...
