Hello Julie. Another weekend rolled round again. smile

TrillianAstra Fri 10-Oct-14 20:17:20

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.

Hello Julie. Another weekend rolled round again. smile

Yup. I'm a rather busy little hedgehog during the week so I only get to hang out with you all at the weekends sad

There's certain times where folk do need to name change for one reason or another, so we're always happy to hear from you. 'We're here to help' and all that.

Ana Fri 10-Oct-14 20:19:55

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

I think it's ageism!

tanith Fri 10-Oct-14 20:47:11

They probably think we'll get confused!! grin

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

merlotgran Fri 10-Oct-14 21:00:16

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? confused grin

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

TheBoysMama Fri 10-Oct-14 21:49:07

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

Elegran Fri 10-Oct-14 21:57:44

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

hic wine

<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]

megletfrommn Fri 10-Oct-14 22:24:29

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

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

owlbegoing Fri 10-Oct-14 22:25:18

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

owlbegoing Fri 10-Oct-14 22:26:54

Oops, cross post with megletfrommn grin

Ana Fri 10-Oct-14 22:35:55

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

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

Hellooo? I brought flowers, can I come in please?

WandaDoff Fri 10-Oct-14 23:05:01

Much easier to have flowers
On MN it is thanks

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

WandaDoff Fri 10-Oct-14 23:06:11

Ooh (thanks) works as well!

[bear]

merlotgran Fri 10-Oct-14 23:06:27

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

Ana Fri 10-Oct-14 23:08:52

bear? confused

Lookslikeimstuckhere Fri 10-Oct-14 23:08:58

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>.

Droitwichmummy Fri 10-Oct-14 23:13:08

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

Ana Fri 10-Oct-14 23:13:35

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 confused

merlotgran Fri 10-Oct-14 23:16:56

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 wink
