This Morning want a couple of Mumsnetters to appear with Carrie and Justine next week... anyone fancy it?

[CarrieMumsnet]

ITV's This Morning programme have invited me and Justine on to talk about the Toddlers book and want to also invite a couple of Mumsnetters to talk about how they got into Mumsnet and what Mumsnet means to them etc.

The date will probably be 4th or 5th Feb, they will need us between 9.30 and 12 and are prepared to pay travel expenses.

Anyone out there interested in snuggling up on the sofa? If you are, please put a bit of blurb about yourself here - how many children you have/how old, how you got into Mumsnet and what it means to you etc - so This Morning can decide who they might fancy inviting. If you do volunteer we may have to pass your email details on to This Morning, in case they want to chat to you, so shout now if you'd rather we didn't do that.

Thanks,

MNHQ

No I'm not KerryMum.

What's the difference then? I thought they were the same thing?

Guys, guys, guys - enough already. We don't count posts here, we don't rank posters, we do not have a table of who counts as a "real" Mumsnetter and who doesn't. This would be anti the spirit of MN in our view.

On MN anyone who who joins is a Mumsnetter and all are equal (save for hughjarss).

The Telly just want someone to explain why they use MN and why it's important to them, they are not looking for the embodiment of the perfect Mumsnetter, and nor should we (IOVHO).

I am a MNOldie as is Custy, that's just a term for posters that have been here longer than they care to admit.

Moldies is a site that was set up in secret for people who were disgruntled with this one, and invites were sent out to those considered worthy to join, also in secret. But I expect you know that.

Dogs on Motorbikes?

Gawd, I could be here all day doing this.

Damn those children.

Justine's post has just reminded me of Hunker's spreadsheet - now that caused a rumpus

Who is Kerrymum1? No way is that our Kerry.

Dinosaurs on Mountains

DoM = daughters of mediocrity - a FB "thing"

kerrymum1 - do you not think your name is a tad confusing?(for everyone other than you obv!)

lol @ Justines everyone but Hughjjjjars!

I do know that, yes, and I was appalled at the crass and hurtful way it was started up. But that was last year and I am tired of tarring all members of that forum with the same brush, as if membership automatically supercedes all that has gone before.

I'm not a Moldie btw.

Depends if those people have been very rude to you in the process.

Facebook sucks.

Ah Facebook!

Thank you Rhubarb whitenoise.

gawd would everyone just over the mouldie shite. it is so old.

KerryMum1 could you possibly change your name do you think to avoid confusion? Thanks so much.

I haven't read all the posts so not sure if this is still open, but I'd love to be on this morning and talk about MN.
I got into it through googling for answers about bfing, it helped me with weaning and through anxiety and pnd.
I've one daughter who's 17m and I live in greater London.

Oh look, that site is invite only. So www you must have been invited yourself then? Do they know you are putting links out like this?

Pity nobody puts any links out to mouldies isn't it?

I'm not there btw.

Ooh that's interesting Justine.

Yes of course I will, because it would be bad manners not to, wouldn't it?

KerryMum1 - are you having a go at KerryMumbles?

Sorry Kerrymum1 don't get the significance of the - not so much bad manners as confusing...

god, this moldies thing... it's getting a bit tired isn't it? why be so bitter about it?

does it matter, if it's invite only? No-one can see anything, can they? Except the members.

So, are you a member then? And if no-one can see anything, why post 2 links? Did you not know that?
