Hi Grennie. . Since this was my idea, I think I will just put here that Grennie and I were the very first MN buddywave pairing!
Didnt expect this to all take off so well.
In rl, I have ideas that sometimes dont work!
I have noticed that some of the posters from the other thread who posted to say that they felt a bit invisible are not over here yet. Not that they have to of course.
But some said [and I hadnt thought of that], that they feel their opinions do not matter, or they dont feel worthy enough 
I hope they do feel able to come over here.
If a MN buddywave group or buddy doesnt work out the first time round, I envisage that this idea will keep popping up from time to time, and you can just add your name, and get buddied up with the poster above you who isnt buddied, and a new poster that adds their name underneath.
Contrary to how it can seem on here, it is very by and large, an anonymous forum.
I, and I suspect thousands like me, have not met any mumsnetters whatsoever, and to the best of my knowledge, dont know any of them in rl either.
