Christmas Countdown - Mumsnet's top ten threads of the year

68 replies

AMyrryChristmasToAllMumsnet · 12/12/2013 17:34

Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without lengthy television programmes counting down the year's best and worst moments. Here at MNHQ we're compiling a countdown you'll actually enjoy - the ten best Mumsnet threads of the year.

The task is far too important for us to take on alone, so we're turning to you for help. Let us know which have been your favourite threads this year - for making you laugh, cry or showing the best side of Mumsnet. We'll also ask folks in the Towers what they think, and create a page of the some of the MN highlights of the year.

We're already looking forward to seeing what you'll come up with!

I still liked it (but not the influx of weird posters following said thread!)

BillyBanter · 13/12/2013 23:25

Oh dear. there will be many evil MIL threads when condemned cake lady's children marry.

babysitting mayhem thread,

can't get my head around weasels.

lemon drizzle was brill.

gluezilla of course

RustyBear · 13/12/2013 23:47

Graeme the budgie. And even if it doesn't make the shortlist, can you rescue it from Chat, as it's only got about a month left? I'd hate Gussie's cautionary bunny tale to disappear into oblivion.

BillyBanter · 14/12/2013 00:37

Totally bursar's belly button fanged monster.

MrsClauswearsspanx · 14/12/2013 00:43

Kittens in the bin!

auntie tantrums
lemon drizzle
hamwidge (bread-ham-bread)

Shockingundercrackers · 14/12/2013 00:52

Elaborate toasts.

MrsTwgtwf · 14/12/2013 10:42

RustyBear, you beat me to it! Graeme the budgie should definitely be up there!

And it should at the very least be preserved forever in Mumsnet Classics.

Reastie · 14/12/2013 14:15

I somehow missed the lemon drizzle one, can anyone link? I'm very intrigued

Impomea · 14/12/2013 14:34

Don't know when it was but the Jesus in the Cabbage Van/Ocado one made me cry

Blimey was Brian from Hull only this year? Oh how the times flies!

If you have links to these thread we'd be v grateful brilliant for procrastinating

ExcuseTypos · 14/12/2013 16:21

Brian from Hull was my favourite.

LidlAngel · 14/12/2013 16:25

Yoni Massage from Hull made me laugh until I could barely breathe. That HAS to go in. Has to. And Marmalade's Lemon Drizzle thread, of only for introducing me to the phrase "citrus titted arse part" which I now use on a regular basis....

ThePigOfHappiness · 14/12/2013 16:30

Angels search for all things pigeon related had me laughing so much at the kookiness of kids

FruOla · 15/12/2013 10:52

I think that Jesus in the Cabbage Van must have been before last Christmas - or maybe even the Christmas before, Imp. I only remember that because the OP thought the delivery driver's name was so apt for a Christmas Ocado delivery
