If you (still) feel the need to discuss Moldies, please do it here so folks can hide this if they want to.

[LittleDonkeyCarrieMaryMumsnet]

Well hopefully the title says it all. There's been a suggestion, and we agree, that as we did with Baby P and the Mc Canns we just have one thread where anyone who feels they still have anything to add on this subject can post and those who'd rather move on can hide it away.

It feels strange to put this thread in site stuff as we are definitely not wanting to encourage further discussion of Moldies (we have presents to wrap too you know ) but we weren't sure where else to put it.

We will delete any new Moldies threads that are started, so please feel free to report them in case we miss any (what with wrapping the presents and all...)

And if you do want to carry on the discussion please remember that Mumsnet's here to make everyone's lives easier and not the reverse, and that Christmas is a time of goodwill to all mumsnetters past, present and future

Thanks,
MNHQ

sleeping baaaad here, Bas (now almost 9 months) still waking twice and others sleeping 11 - 6 with a few wake ps each

Aarrrgghhhhh

Never mind they'll leave home one day (PLEASE)

So apologies were made for the most deserving? . Oltre il danno la beffa, that's what they say around here...

That was a nasty comment to Custardo, VVQ.

Besides the damage the prank?

Bablefish came up with that.

Something like "on top of the damage, the mockery", something like that. Sorry I'm too ill to even translate.

who is the insurance guy?

Poor you franca = have you got what your dd had? We're just recovering after 10 days of temps and shivers (not all of us, all the time, sort of one after another with a little overlap each time. Great).

I understand what the saying's getting at - is similar to "to add insult to injury".

Hope you feel better soon.

Iirc the London Xmas meet was lovely between moldies and non moldies.
But stand to be corrected
I was particularly thrilled to meet Custy who I have an enormous amount of respect for.
I would be disappointed if things changed.
It is pretty gutting watching posters I've long cherished all auditioning for Rocky XXIII.....
But nothing a night off this shit won't cure...

Pooka, yes it is more or less the same as add insult to injury! (and yes, I got dd's flu. It's bad !!!!)

AS if making wild and inaccuarate assumptions and generalisations based on allegations on an internet forum by people you've never met and levelled at another group of internet people you've never met puts you in mother of the year head girl role
FWIW
I am a Fucking excellent mother
Crap cleaner though

But mumofbaby, I don't think chucking round insults will help, will it? It is that kind of stuff that makes many people frustrated with MN in the first place.

I heard about the moldies at the London xmas party and know some of the people who have been invited to join in RL. I was never asked to join (I only really post lots on about 3 boards and am severely lacking in the 'Wit dept', so no surprise there) but so what? I can't force people to be my friends either in RL or in the Ether. Doesn't mean I begrudge them for being friends with each other, I mean what's the point in that? If they run the thing fairly and well it will probably be succesful; if not it will probably implode, it doesn't add up to more than a hill of beans really, does it? Life's too short. Go live it, what's the point in sniping?

mumofbaby - for someone who wasn't interested in this a few hours agao that's quite an inflammatory statement to be making. May I ask how long you've been posting on mumsnet and what your prevous name was?

I've got a date with the cooker and my kids dinner...
this thread is too big for my ipod to cope with now so
HOORAY

waves at Squiffy

2 years and no you may not ask my previous names- I only tell people I like. Then I send out invitations for them all to come round for a tea party. I'm petty like that.

I think at the next meet up, Moldies will be placed on a central raised, revolving stage. Mumsnetters will be permitted to wave at them.

MumofBaby - your posting history only shows a few posts.
So either you have namechanged in order to be extremely unkind, or you are a new poster who appears to bear a nasty grudge against people you don't even know.
Odd behaviour, either way.
I have been watching these threads intermittently, with increasing amounts of sadness and horror. I've refrained from posting up to now, as they are merely going round in circles, but for anyone to make the statement "Are people like that even fit to be mothers?" is disgusting, and cannot pass unchallenged.

Can I say that I suspect Mumofbaby to be a troll here and now?

Just have a sausage. Anybody. Or a brazil nut. Or the last tree chocolate. Or a cup of tea. Or coffee. Please.

That told me!

Look - if you make inflammatory statements when you've only been using a name for two days then people are going to think that you're being a pain in the backside. You may wish to reconsider that position if you want people to take your views seriously.

I wanna go to the next Xmas meet. Couldn't make this one cos of dd and her hospital habit
Will there be a food fight?
