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

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

Pagwatch if you have seen me post you will also have seen that I post about lunchboxes Eastenders and mushroom risotto. I am not 'woe is me' about Mumsnet. If anything I am 'woe is you'.

But it's a closed group Maurice, so by joining and then posting the members someone has been a bit sneaky, no?
Just as would be if someone joined any group that was meant to be private and then linked it all.

Group is def closed. You have to ask to join, plus no-one can see wall posts (as they have not been linked -yet?-) .

If you just search DoM on facebook, I think that you would get just a small pic, no info whatsoever. The link to the memebr's page is a private link

Rhubarb · 03/02/2009 14:55

" you will also have seen that I post about lunchboxes Eastenders and mushroom risotto."

Oh woe is you!

(sorry, couldn't resist! )

Winehouse · 03/02/2009 14:57

Or, actually, what about 'You are all a bunch of arseholes' - is that more the sort of thing that would make me accepted?

Rhubarb · 03/02/2009 14:58

LOL! Oh what a sense of humour you have! I'm sure you'll fit right in here!

VictorianSqualor · 03/02/2009 14:59

We say 'cunts'

Rhubarb · 03/02/2009 15:00

Or twunts.

Btw, what do you lecture in?

pagwatch · 03/02/2009 15:02

blackcunts is my usual phrase. Apparently

If you watch Eastenders then woe is you indeed

'you are a bunch of fucking twats' would work for me.

VictorianSqualor · 03/02/2009 15:03

A friend of mine's child couldn't say Blackcurrant so asked for BlackCunt to drink once. She taught him to ask for juice pretty quickly.

pagwatch · 03/02/2009 15:09

yep . me and toddlers struggle with 'blackcurrants'.

I only ever get blackcurrants as part of home delivery order now. It reduces the chances of being kicked out ofthe supermarket

Tortington · 03/02/2009 15:10

www2, how dare you post details of me on this site without my permission.

bad form.

you "don't see the problem" with anything do you?

maybe you need help

Tortington · 03/02/2009 15:13

fwiw, if i did have a secret list of all moldy members, i would never ever ever list it on mumsnet.

bad form, v. bad form

ruty · 03/02/2009 15:15

I am sure those researchers don't know whether to laugh or cry. At the very least they must be rather confused.

Carmenere · 03/02/2009 15:23

This is all pretty embarassing and to think that the researchers from This Morning are (very probably) reading it too just makes me cringe

Lulumama · 03/02/2009 15:24

is it even worth asking what the fuckity fuck is going on ?

Carmenere · 03/02/2009 15:24

Mumsnet, for parents, by parents, (so they can rile, rib, insult and demoralise each other)

Tortington · 03/02/2009 15:27

yeah its a shame that some rubbish person decided to post personal details from another website without the ownsers permission.

i wonder why that rubbish person would do such a rubbish thing

why did you do such a rubbish thing, rubbish person?

MauriceDancer · 03/02/2009 15:27

which one are you, custardo?

VS, as i say, i'm sure that there will be a setting on the group that the admin should have clicked to prevent the list being seen. FB is very sneaky about leaving things as open as possible, if you're admining a group you'd have to be careful about this sort of thing.

MauriceDancer · 03/02/2009 15:28

it seems to have gone now, anyway. the group appears to have been deleted. who was the admin, anyway?

Tortington · 03/02/2009 15:28

oh carm, we;ve been doing that since time began

its not like with the influx of newbies

the emigration of moldies

has been the cause of effect for that

and i'm frankly with the "oh it aint what it used to be" doomsayers.

Tn0g · 03/02/2009 15:29

Can I just correct my spelling of Lulumama's name from Lulamama to Lulumama [!]

In my defence I was stuffing my face and typing with one finger at the time and pressed, a, instead of, u >

Tortington · 03/02/2009 15:30

thing is aitch, if you wanted to - you could use the information i post on this site

cross reference it with that list presented

and find out who i am

you could then find out where i live

and boil my dog.

an utterly rubbish thing to do

wickedwitchofwestlife · 03/02/2009 15:33

Im very sorry that you are upset with me custardo. I cant see that there are any personal details of yours, or anyone else who has a profile on view in facebook to the general public that the whole www cant see anyway.
But the link has been deleted now so hopefully that makes you feel better. I honestly didnt see the problem with posting a link since everyone was asking what it was, and that it was a 'joke' site. Peace and love to you xxx.

MauriceDancer · 03/02/2009 15:34

how? i wouldn't automatically have access to your FB account, unless you'd been lax with your settings. and i'm sure you aren't.

so all i'd have to go on is your photo... were you the red furry fella with the big nose?

Winehouse · 03/02/2009 15:42

I lecture in History, Rhubarb. I thought you knew me for a moment and then realised I put my job on my profile. I'm happy to be a lot ruder, if that helps.
