walking? [faints]

it is hot! I would walk, honest, but DH still in work...

I can't see the point. No one knows me here so I could pretend I was a 25 yr old size 8 millionaire, but then I would have to follow it up and, as I'm a 36 yr old size 20 lardarse pauper I wouldn't know what I was talking about. Far too much hassle and I'm too lazy to bother.

I had a CAT from someone when I posted for advice about extended breastfeeding. SHe told me she had 5 children and a DH called Simon. We exchanged a few emails and something didn't seem right and I felt a bit uncomfortable about her.

I did a search on her posting name and she appeared on various thread, with fewer children of different ages to the email. On one thread to claimed to be gay, in a relationship, with 2 children.

sherby · 07/08/2008 13:38

Well I wish I had been lying on my thread this morning!
I really do.

Llaregub-I think I had a similar encounter with said Mumsnetter.

Flightputsonahat · 07/08/2008 13:43

Ooh hatrick, that made my ears burn - I said he was Wilberforce one time as a joke

Actually I wish he was, it's more distinguished than Wilbur.

And it's a lovely little bear in the story.

llareggub · 07/08/2008 13:45

whoosh, does her posting name begin with an s?

Buggered if I can remember tbh but had female partner in the North somewhere then had big male romance discussed on here?Don't want to go into too much detail as all our resident MissMarples will jump on it

llareggub · 07/08/2008 13:47

I think mine suspicious poster is different to yours, whooosh.

llareggub · 07/08/2008 13:49

Am off to meet zipptitippitoes now! (not a lie)

LynetteScavo · 07/08/2008 13:49

I've never noticed anyone lying (how would I know about their purchases)

Have come across some massive U-turns, though, re wanting a baby/not wanting a baby/relationship with DH, etc.

GrapefruitMoon · 07/08/2008 13:49

I had someone having a right go at me once on a thread about something I said, disagreed with my pov, etc, then a few months later I saw her more or less parroting my views herself! OK maybe she was just having a bad day on the first thread but....

LynetteScavo · 07/08/2008 13:54

I don't think Cod bought those Boden pumps atall; she just wanted links to cheaper versions, but didn't like to ask!

Thanks Hatrick

filthymindedvixen · 07/08/2008 14:04

llareggub!! Don't be fooled! Zippitippitoes is a right ol' liar - her toes are very normal and not zippi or tippi at all

saythatagain · 07/08/2008 15:41

I am hard of hearing with a notoriously bad memory = utter waste of time trying to present an entirely different image to what I am in rl & mn.

mamadiva · 07/08/2008 15:50

Don't see the point ahve a profile page so can't lie anyway would be a bit obvious iof I said yes I'm a size 0 with blonde hair and I'm a high flying executive LOL
