"Mumsnet has just been bought for £15m by....."

[Legacy]

OK - it hasn't! (Sorry Justine!)

It's just a hypothetical scenario.

But with all this coverage, it's growth etc etc I bet it WILL happen at some point in the next few years.

L'Oreal bought BodyShop

and just recently Disney bought Club Penguin.

So who do you think would buy Mumnsnet, and how do you think you will feel if it happens?

SMA
Aptimil
Cheese Strings
Fruit Shoots (is that Robinsons?)

I've said I'll take my DD (she is 8.5 yo) She really needs a confidence boost and I'm looking forward to some mum/daughter time together. She doesnt know yet though! When they rang I still hadnt make my mind up and had to ring her back

[filthymindedbolshevixen]

aggh! Haven't checked home phone for days!!

So, who are you taking??

[MrsWeasley]

I got a phone call from Hamleys yesterday asking for name and age of child atending and the lady said letters would come early next week.

[filthymindedbolshevixen]

MRS WEASLEY - have you heard owt yet? Is it too early to panic yet??

[MrsWeasley]

I think COD should buy it and rename it in her own special style

[FlossALump]

Looks like I might be off in their direction now. As a depressed and now overdue pregnant woman if I can't gorge on them now when can I?

[Kewcumber]

Legacy,think you are right
can imagine Channel four or Virgin jumping on wagon as its getting popular

[Legacy]

Unilver would be good - they make lots of family food, and sell washing powder (And of course all we Mums talk about is cooking and cleaning )

[FlossALump]

Their occasionally very tasty sausage rolls are not Mn etiquette. But sometimes you just have to, don't you? As long as it isn't in the buggy because otherwise MN members rebuff you.

[filthymindedbolshevixen]

We insult Greggs on a weekly basis. Especially their 'sausage' rolls. Do you have Greggs down south?

[preggersagain]

Robinsons- 'Mumsnet, sponsored by Fruitshoot'
