can anyone join in?

[nickytwotimes]

as a new comer, i am still learning mn etiquette. could someone tell me if anyone can drink at the bar or pop in to the coffee/tea shop? i've also just posted a message asking what FLY is. i would be ever so grateful for your answers you experienced mners you. ta

[amynnixmum]

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

[amynnixmum]

Ohh and welcome to mn

[Twiglett]

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

[FrannyandZooey]

Nicky please join in WHEREVER you like

and welcome

[WelshBoris]

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

Weirdos.

And welcome x

[Swizzler]

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.

[AnnabelCaramel]

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

[nickytwotimes]

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.

[nickytwotimes]

just feeling a bit bad now as nice lady on fly posted me message explaining it. don't want to annoy anyone

[amynnixmum]

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

[lulumama]

hi nicky !! you are welcome wherever you would like to go !


the bar and the teashop are lovely ! i 'run' the bar a lot, and it is great as it is chit chat and a good place to get to know people !

welcome and enjoy ! x

[nickytwotimes]

will do that, amy

[satinshoes]

welcome Nicky.

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

see you around

[AnnabelCaramel]

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

[nickytwotimes]

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

[AnnabelCaramel]

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

[amynnixmum]

And in parent and child parking space threads

[nickytwotimes]

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

[lissielou]

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!

[lissielou]

and the bf/ff threads. they take no prisoners

[AnnabelCaramel]

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.

[margo1974]

hope this helps you learn the MN "lingo"

[kipperthedog]

OOH am new too, finding this extremely informative!! Can I pop in to bar as well please?
