Homeless Mumsnetters - come this way!

Im quite liking this on a forum i used before i found the light and discovered the only parenting forum we used to invade the american version every year was always massive fun
very welcoming and friendly

Hello Julie. Another weekend rolled round again.

On Mumsnet you can just go into settings and change your name to whatever you please without HQ involvement.

Because, er, reasons.

So you might start a thread saying

I've name changed for this, I have a massive boil on my bum and I don't know what to do about it^

and your regular buddies would not know that you had a boil-y bum.

They don't trust us to do that, obviously...

I think it's ageism!

They probably think we'll get confused!!

Hello! I'm another Mumsnet refugee. So, is there wine here too?

They might find us stumbling around thinking we're the Queen of Sheba or Greta Garbo.

Or that nice lady who presents A Question of Sport and used to go out with Cliff Richard.

What's her name again?

Hello, another mumsnetter here. Just realised I've spelt my username wrong oh well maybe change it on mumsnet too then
Is there here?

Sorry meant to also say thank you Gransnet for letting us join you

What a boozy lot these Mumsnetters are. They are all asking for wine! So unlike us sober teetotal Gransnetters who drink nothing but

<wanders in, finds comfy chair> another lost sheep. I changed my name (very cunningly I thought). I like gin. Is there gin? I promise not to swear (much). Been brought up to be polite when visiting. So I brought [cake]

I feel quite nervous about visiting GN. It's like being a newbie all over again.

Hey, you have a and a . How cool <easily pleased>.

It looks nice and welcoming over here.
I wonder if Mumsnet will let us bring back and when they've finished doing their techy stuff

Oops, cross post with megletfrommn

No! You can't have our and unless we can have all your emoticons - we begged long and hard for the ones we've got!

(They wouldn't let us have your 'biscuit' one because they thought we'd all faint...)

Hellooo? I brought , can I come in please?

Much easier to have
On MN it is

We have [cake], but it is a slice of cake, rather than a cherry bakewell.

Ooh (thanks) works as well!

[bear]

Thanks for the I'll find an empty wine caraffe to put them in.

bear?

I wonder, if MNHQ is doing technical, will we get some new emoticons? I'd quite like a selection of beverages, I don't like red wine <runs away to hide behind ohwhatjeffery's comfy chair>.

Hello may I pull up a chair & carry on with my knitting here please? I've brought a selection of

I'm not even sure why you're here yet - MN's only off between 6.00 a.m. and 2.00 p.m. tomorrow!

HQ seem to have been encouraging panic-mode for some reason

Where on earth did she find that comfy chair? We normally sit around on rejects from Kirstie Allsopp's skip finds.

Plenty of white wine down in the cellar. I'll give you combination for the lock on the Stenna stair lift so you don't come back with just one bottle
