none of them

7up · 21/10/2006 17:27

im not any of them!

GraceUnderFire · 21/10/2006 17:27

Type \

Then open a wavy bracket { and cut and paste your url address into it.

Then another slash, the same as the first \

Then your description of what your link is - eg., Mummy Type Article

Then close your wavy bracket }

If you preview, you can check it works by clicking on your link in preview mode.

Does that help?

7up · 21/10/2006 17:31

the link worked for me

singyswife · 21/10/2006 17:35

That is hillarious. I know a parent like every one of them. How scary is that. By the way, Im the craft parent.

foxtrottingtotransylvania · 21/10/2006 18:02

i'm not any of them, but closest to craft mummy, no F&B paint but i do have a whole room crammed with fluffy bits that may come in useful one day, and you should see my homemade biscuits

Schokofruhstucksflockenhasseri · 21/10/2006 18:24

none of them because they all had husbands.

alexsCURSEDMUMMY · 21/10/2006 18:52

none of them .
not even close.

Cappuccino · 21/10/2006 18:56

am I alone in not finding this 'hilarious' at all?

it's just odd. And I don't recognise a single one of them

CarolinaMooncup · 21/10/2006 18:59

me too cappuccino. Maybe because ds isn't even at preschool yet?

It just seemed rather sneery to me. I'm sure most people have the odd element of all of them, but I can't fit anyone I know into any particular category.

motherinferior · 21/10/2006 18:59

They're all posher than me. And I am really fairly posh, dammit.

Cappuccino · 21/10/2006 19:00

I do actually hate these things in the national press

I think 'what kind of central london comfortably wealthy mummy type are you' is more the point

CarolinaMooncup · 21/10/2006 19:01

Orlando · 21/10/2006 19:02

Aha, capp. My own particular favorite rant--'the press don't think rational lifeforms exist beyond the Thames Valley'.

Don't get me started...

what a nasty mysogynistic little article

Cappuccino · 21/10/2006 19:03

Orlando I could rant on for a bit too....

it's one of my pet rants

Blandmum · 21/10/2006 19:04

Oh I dunno greensleaves, it thought it was mildly amusing. I don't think there was hatred in the article, just a bit of wry leg pulling. I am closest to Tate Mummy FWIW!

motherinferior · 21/10/2006 19:04

Hey, give us a break. Some journalists are at pains to use non-London examples, per-lease.

motherinferior · 21/10/2006 19:05

I thought Quality Time Mummy was rather nasty. Speaking as a woman who works for money and yes, tries to manage to spend a bit of time with two children and is constantly not quite getting it right.
