What would all the characters post on here?
I'm a tad obsessed with this programme and I'd love to hear your theories on what they would post on here for a bit of fun

Who's Miriam?!

doadeer · 15/05/2021 20:32

Meg would be on the "I earn £100k... Is that really enough for a comfortable life" threads

Amanda would be telling us her DH never watches pornography as he has too much respect for women... Then NC 1 month later and complaining about the disgusting search history she found on DH's phone.

the80sweregreat · 15/05/2021 20:36

Marion ! Not Miriam !
Doh ! Sorry

the80sweregreat · 15/05/2021 20:37

Yep, rich Meg would be on the ' do I earn enough ' threads ! Lol

the80sweregreat · 15/05/2021 20:38

Mrs lamb would be aibu ? For thinking most parents are pretty rubbish at time keeping ..

Though to be honest... £100k a year wouldn't buy you a big terrace in am area like that of London! They are about 1.5m round me!!!!
RoseBearx · 15/05/2021 20:44

Amanda is deffo a MN regular and loves posting in the threads about class. She made a thread when she was pregnant with Manus asking if she WBU to use the name.

the80sweregreat · 15/05/2021 20:46

No, 100,000 a year is 'chicken feed' in London !
( sad really isn't it ?)
Expensive place to live.

doadeer · 15/05/2021 20:50

I think Julia would have spent many years on the sleep boards "when did your baby finally sleep through?!!! Mine e are 6 and 8 and they still wake 5x a night, is this normal?! I'm so tired I just made a cup of tea with brown sauce."

Then ignore all advice.

BrilliantBetty · 15/05/2021 21:08

Anne would put up with far less BS if she was a MNtter she'd have realised Amanda's a CF.

Maybe she found us just before she called Amanda out in that last ep.

the80sweregreat · 15/05/2021 21:09

They all mumsnet but won't admit it!..

LynetteScavo · 15/05/2021 21:12

I work with someone EXACTLY like Tanya- (except she's not black). It's actually a little bit spooky
how similar they are.

LynetteScavo · 15/05/2021 21:15

I can confirm a Mrs Lamb is in the school office of a primary school not far from me...or you...

She works in our school !
RoseBearx · 15/05/2021 21:23

My primary school secretary was a Mrs Lamb as well! Odd how it seems to be universal!

the80sweregreat · 15/05/2021 21:32

Was it Mrs Lamb that Julia had to pay for her meal with the others ? ( series one I think ?)
That was funny.
AIBU : I had to pay for their whole meal ! ..?

WaterBottle123 Shock

'Well the most economical time is breakfast. Although they do give unlimited toast which is better if you've a man with you'.

Makes Amanda seem almost mild!

WaterBottle123 · 16/05/2021 11:22

@SisterMichael I know Grin

Since I got a fancy extension and DP moved in she doesn't know where to send her unwanted pity anymore GrinGrin

I am so frighteningly like Anne (right down to the name Blush) that I can say with some authority (if I had any....) that she would mostly hover around in Chat, getting het up about anything involving an animal's welfare but otherwise only responding tentatively to occasional threads if she thought she might be able to make somebody else feel better, and only then after massively overthinking her reply. She would barely ever start a thread, and if she did, she would rewrite it a dozen times in her head before posting. She would be terrified of AIBU and would never dream of going near the Relationships board. She would occasionally peep into Style and Beauty but quickly realise that it was not for the likes of her. She would have the same username for ten years but nobody would ever recognise it.

What, Motherland's NOT realShock
They should just call the programme
Mumsnetland and be done with it Grin
This thread is hilarious though. Thanks op

Cocolapew · 16/05/2021 15:40

Spiderlight 😅

the80sweregreat · 16/05/2021 16:31

Would anyone admit to being Amanda though ?.. we all know or have met one or two !!

theceilingnerfgunblackdot · 16/05/2021 16:56

The more I think of it, I reckon Anne would be on the sex boards. She's clearly getting it more than everyone else and is generally perpetually smiley 😀

AgnesNaismith · 16/05/2021 19:21

Anne definitely did it before the HV signed her off.
