How brilliant that you celebrate your 25th anniversary at the same week that my ' incredible non sleeping baby' who I was advertising for sale* turns 22 and is now 6 foot 4 and pretty good at sleeping!

Many thanks for all the incredible laughs we had back then - the drama, the trolling, my 300 plus name changes eek.
The parties - me getting hammered and giving Gordon Brown election advice (he lost) discovering Johnnie Boden hiding at Google HQ and seeing Boris Johnson pretend to DJ ( I know) at another.
For the time I was idling away a Saturday afternoon when suddenly a 'well known parenting advisor' stumbled onto the site and subsequently started a legal campaign and when a well known journalist's wife came on to as why people were taking the piss out of him,
For the time when I had my own ( tongue in cheek ) topic and everyone was furious I think there was cod merch. I KNOW - its ok, I hate me too.
For the folk on the Troll subreddit - HI! I am on there too its OK.
But most importantly for the brilliant RL mates I made from this site, too many to mention and too nice for me to out.

Well done Justine and all who sail in her!

Oh bravo Cod ( those typing lessons certainly paid off), and yes, happy birthday Mumsnet! 🎂

Happy birthday Mumsnet! I might have a little stroll over to Classics for old times’ sake.
The sage advice and laughs have been a godsend over the years. Thank you!

Justine was on R4 this morning

Can’t believe it’s been 25 years but MNHQ, why has Carrie been written out of history in the timeline?!

Ah, thanks iCod Smile And happy birthday to your boy, too.

You'll be glad to know that we did start a thread yesterday! We put it in AIBU as we figured more of you hang out there than here in Site Stuff...

Here you go - MNHQ AIBU to share 25 of our all-time favourite classic threads to mark Mumsnet's 25th birthday? Enjoy!
