I agree. It's the best section of MN by far.

Cheers ♥️

HollyandIvyandallthingsYule · 05/11/2020 17:38

It is a very nice place to hang out! Smile

But there’s an even nicer place! I won’t mention the name here but there’s a whole topic on it, and my username is a clue! Wink

Nope, I quite often find myself being rather scathing here. Though I have also wasted entire mornings looking for non-traditional wedding dresses for total strangers ...

The nicest place on MN is the fabulously wonderful and long-running 'The Archers' thread.

nottoday3000 · 05/11/2020 18:41

This section and the night worries thread those people on that thread are another level of nice

bellagogosdead · 05/11/2020 18:47

It's my safe place. I do really appreciate you all.GrinCakeBrew

(Am sporting my Halloween name though)

2021optimist · 05/11/2020 19:14

People have been so kind and generous with advice. Flowers

Eaumyword · 05/11/2020 21:42

S&B is lovely - interesting and helpful! I love Telly Addicts too for finding like minded folks Smile
I used to love the Royal Family threads but there are some scary self appointed gatekeeper posters 😱

ZaZathecat · 05/11/2020 22:45

The Elderly Parents board is fantastic too.

jbee1979 · 05/11/2020 22:50

This appears on "Active". I don't post here often, if ever, but I agree, it's lovely to read. Everyone is so helpful and supportive. I hope the Bad Guys don't zoom in now 😂

tobee · 06/11/2020 00:53

This is a terrible place! Ask my bank manager!

grassisjeweled · 06/11/2020 02:15

Hahah tobee Grin

You're not a bad bunch, I suppose

Merrythought · 06/11/2020 02:16

My butch husband is more stylish than me and I haven’t worn makeup in years, but I still like reading S&B threads.. they’re very soothing😄

Nitflux · 06/11/2020 02:53

I like this too! Just read a thread elsewhere where someone fancied an engagement ring upgrade and responses basically said “what’s wrong with your marriage”. Jeez, can’t a gal want something big and sparkly once in a while?

Jemimatheragdoll · 06/11/2020 06:19

I take it you’ve not seen any of the designer bag threads Lardlizard? Grin

You’re right though, S&B is generally a lovely happy place to hang out with lots of fab links & pictures

StarlightLady · 06/11/2020 07:38

@tobee - Grin

WingBingo · 06/11/2020 09:04

I find this is a nice place too. Imagine posting in AIBU, asking for opinions on an outfit?

Only a very brave soul would do that. Here people are kind and give constructive advice.

crochetmonkey74 · 06/11/2020 09:17

ooh yes agreed- here and Christmas boards are my comfort places when you just want to chat to nice people

Blondiney · 06/11/2020 09:35

The perfume lot are lovely.

JofraArchersFastestBall · 06/11/2020 09:41

Agreed. I am neither stylish nor beautiful but I love this board.
I occasionally read a coronavirus/politics/competitive eating thread and think I'll have to stop looking at mumsnet - but I always come back for s&b!

laughoutquiet · 06/11/2020 09:44

Agreed. The nicest people with constructive and friendly advice x

AskMeOnce · 06/11/2020 09:51

I agree! And the lot over on the Christmas boards aren't too bad either Grin

OchonAgusOchonO · 06/11/2020 10:37

Absolutely agree. I wanted a new bag, with very specific requirements, last year and had loads of fantastic advise from very knowledgeable posters (although I may have bought 3 instead of 1)

The advent calendar folks are amazing too. Really kind and great fun.

liky · 06/11/2020 10:56

The recipe board is lovely too!
Not much drama or bitchiness over which is your favourite vegetable soup recipe Grin

haba · 06/11/2020 11:01

People are so helpful on the more specialist boards, aren't they?
You can basically get any query answered on MN, it's one of the things I love so much about it.
Food/recipes and Housekeeping are also very helpful and supportive.

S&B reminds me why I never go shopping- overwhelmed with choice!

TheHoneyFactory · 06/11/2020 11:59

Agreed! S&B have really helped me over the last couple of years (lost in a sea of kids/life changes/demands). Its a great space.
