Anyone can pop in to the bar or the coffee shop FLY is the cleaning thread - you never find me on one

Thanks

amynnixmum · 14/03/2007 19:33

Ohh and welcome to mn

Thanks

Twiglett · 14/03/2007 19:34

yes just post whereever you feel the urge .. you are welcome on any thread .. there is no such thing as a private thread on MN

FLY is some crappy american house-cleaning thingamijigg where they all do a little something in the house as directed by email .. they're all freaks .. you'd be well to stay clear cos you might get sucked into housework

Thanks

Yes, don't go onto FLY, they'll make you dust

Weirdos.

And welcome x

Thanks

Come on into the bar if you want - you can chat about anything and say hello. If you want to talk about something specific, you can start a new thread in any section.

Thanks

AnnabelCaramel · 14/03/2007 19:35

What I can never figure is how they do housework AND mumsnet. Definitely one or the other in this house!

Thanks

nickytwotimes · 14/03/2007 19:42

many thanks ladies. i feel all warm and welcome! i will take your advice re cleaning thingy i think, although i did hoover today when mn went down. very much enjoying the old mn thing and hoping it is still around for the forseeable what with all the "stuff" going on. i might pop into the bar later tonight after bottle making, dishes etc, when i can give it my full attention and not in my usual "doing 12 things at once" mode.

Just smile sweetly and then make a run for it - i think its a brainwashing cult

Thanks

lulumama · 14/03/2007 19:47

welcome Nicky.

I Fly but today i was on MN all day and didnt do any housework

see you around

Thanks

AnnabelCaramel · 14/03/2007 19:49

Fly ladies are nice, and have immaculate homes. Their children probably don't dribble like mine does either

Thanks

nickytwotimes · 14/03/2007 19:51

i get it. i can potter around everywhere and not piss anyone off?

Tread everso carefully in the weaning bits, that's all!

Thanks

amynnixmum · 14/03/2007 19:53

And in parent and child parking space threads

Thanks

nickytwotimes · 14/03/2007 19:53

okay dokey. f**k! haven't made bottles, speaking of food...

OP posts:

Thanks

lissielou · 14/03/2007 19:54

hi nicky, post as much as possible. the bar and teashop are for idle chitchat, the fly is for clean people. and the hut of gloom is for if you are ttc but having probs. the others are pretty self-explanatory. good luck!

Thanks

lissielou · 14/03/2007 19:54

and the bf/ff threads. they take no prisoners

Thanks

AnnabelCaramel · 14/03/2007 19:55

And just be aware that sometimes things YOU may have considered completely non-contentious can go ballistic. But that in itself is what makes mn so good i think, you get a whole new perspective at times.

Thanks

margo1974 · 14/03/2007 19:57

hope this helps you learn the MN "lingo"

Thanks
