Hello all - and many happy returns to MNers everywhere.

To mark the auspicious occasion, we've been taking a misty-eyed trip down memory lane. Come and have a look at the threads of Mumsnet legend, the things we'd never have learned without Mumsnet, and the pictures that still make us snigger - and do share your best Mumsnet memories here, we'd love to hear 'em.

I wonder how many hours I've wasted gainfully spent over the past years. I wasn't here initially but early on. Any celebratory emoticons planned ?

Happy Birthday Mumsnet!!!

LIZS · 11/03/2015 10:22

Lol at cockmonkey and how did I not know that about foil/cling film rolls! Learn something new everyday on MN, happy birthday!

Happy birthday!????

CiderwithBuda · 11/03/2015 10:28

Happy Birthday. I think. I have wasted soooo much time on here over the years.

But I have learned a lot, cried a lot, bought a lot, said FFS a lot and laughed a lot. So maybe not entirely a waste of time!

KeemaNaanAndCurryOn · 11/03/2015 10:30

Happy Birthday Mumsnet.

I'll be eating cake in your honour later today.

Not like I need an excuse to eat cake, but the thought is definitely there!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MN !

I started lurking way before I had children in late 2000. I finally registered when pregnant in 2009. I mc'ed that pregnancy and then went through a lot of assisted conception before having DD1. Without all my pals on the IVF boards and then the likes of the wondrous tiktok to help with feeding, life would have been a whole lot harder.

Thank God Justine had a rubbish holiday all those years ago, really!

But I am Angela Hernandez. That is my favourite thread in the whole world. Just saying Angela Hernandez sets me off... Angela Hernandez :o

Happy birthday Mumsnet. I am more of a lurker than a poster and would love to read the very first thread. ( Dont know if that's possible).

SoupDragon · 11/03/2015 11:11

What a lot of time I have lost because of Mumsnet over the last um... 13 years in my case I think.

thoth · 11/03/2015 11:13

Hurrah! Happy birthday MM! Congratulations and well done, Justine and Carrie.

SoupDragon · 11/03/2015 11:14

I remember when the topic list was all fields and the power was provided by Justine's pet hamster in her kitchen...

RainbowFlutterby · 11/03/2015 11:14

Ooh - the clay cock is mentioned! That's the first thread I ever read on Mumsnet after Google sent me here (I was looking for reviews for car seats) and I've been here ever since!

Happy Birthday!
