Just popping in to tell you all Persephone Odette has arrived safely, just under 7lb and a healthy wee girl. My son is a bit disappointed that she’s not keen on playing dinosaurs with him but she’s only 2 days old.

Oh and she’s really called Betsi.

As you were ❤❤❤

Hey! I posted on Mumsnet (under various usernames) for years and years (and years) . Until they got hacked, everyone had to log back in & I couldn’t remember my password or the original email address I’d set up with. So I just gave up 🤷‍♀️ And was in “forum wilderness” , where I’ve remained for about 3 years - lurking😳
I lurked on Reddit (didn’t get it) , I lurked on the other Mum sites (my kids are older now so I’m over the breastfeeding chat 😆)
Then THEN a miraculous thing happened... Brummy mummy off Insta sent me over, after her tearful Stories about mean cows on here slagging her. That’s the VERY PLACE for me I said to myself & and here I am , with a log in and everything 😄 So happy!
Any other ex-mumsnetters here? It all got a bit doom & gloom on there didn’t it 😲

Now, Mumsnet sepsis jokes aside, and I don't want to bring the thread down. But this one is for my amazing, funny, mad as a box of frogs and full of life best friend and fellow mnet pisstaker who died way too young very suddenly on Wednesday from what they believe was heart failure due to sepsis. I've plodded on for a few days feeling utterly lost but had to say something here cos, you know, sepsis. It's shit. So here's to you Shaz. Every mad inch of you and the last 40 years of having you by my side.
❤

Read this smug fucker on the 'are you scared of dying?' thread

No, I'm not scared. I'm 72 and never think about dying. I've never smoked, drink very little and eat healthily - purely because I don't like junk food. I had cornflakes and a peach this morning, a sandwich midday, and chicken with veg for dinner. I'm planning on living another 20 years! 😀

My lovely friend passed away yesterday (after being kept on a ventilator for 24 hours for organ retrieval) in her 40's. She was a teetotal non-smoking vegan (but astonishingly, we got on brilliantly) who loved hiking and paddle boarding and kayaking and was a slender toned 9 stone. She still died of a catastrophic brain stem bleed, and went from organising the barbecue to saying 'oops, something's not right' to dying in front of us. We are all shellshocked and numb, especially her husband and their teenage son. So to the Mumsnetter who thinks eating minimally means eternal life, I'd like to say, on behalf of my departed friend, ODFOD.

Raise a glass, my fellow tattlers, to a lovely lady who should have had another 40 years on this planet. RIP.

Right fellow Tattlers, the time has come and I must leave you all for a while, because baby Serena is making her presence felt. I'm off to get the good drugs. See you on the other side 👼 <<< that's my baby with a chavvy bow on her head ;)

I earn £600k and work half an hour a week, my children have all been scouted as models because they are incredibly beautiful as well as thin, gifted and talented. My drop dead gorgeous and incredibly wealthy DH and I shag each other senseless five times a day and he buys me 5 carat diamonds on a weekly basis. I have a cleaner, a gardener, a housekeeper, a chef and 3 butlers. Do I consider myself to be better than you? Yes. Yes, I do.

Lying on the internet is fun ;)
It's weird because half of them post like this and the other half are like all my family are dead, my in laws are dead, mainly through decapitation, I have 3 autistic children who all have ADHD, chicken pox, are very fat and aren't clever. One does county lines, one vapes and one has got his girlfriend pregnant at 12. My husband is secretly gay, goes to the gym 18 times a day, wouldn't come home from work to rescue me off of a kitchen cupboard (actual thread btw), we earn £12.86 a month between us, we are all allergic to bread and the dog shit on the bed. Ps here's a pic of my bowels which have fallen out of my vagina and has a boil on it, shall I go to the doctor?

There's a thread in Relationships where a couple argued last night and the man has ripped up the father's day card that his small kids gave him, and chucked it in the bin, presumably to wound the OP (which it has.)

Someone asked "was it in the general waste or recycling" and - stupid me - I wondered what point she was trying to make until she came out with this belter.

There were no thread suggestions so used this quote by @Pebbleybeach which accurately describes MN users.
Oh my god, I can’t believe you’ve STOLEN a quote from a post I wrote. I’m logging it NOW! And asking everyone here for a handhold. I’m literally shaking and sobbing, I haven’t been as traumatised as this since my DMIL said hello to me on Christmas Day.

I met a Mumsnetter in the wild last night! Sister wife dress, mill girl boots and glass of tap water in hand. I had a pint and she decided to tell me how many calories there were in one solitary pint of beer. I responded by asking her if she’d made her dress herself. I’m looking for the thread ‘rude alcoholic at theatre’ this morning.

Hey... a while ago asked for advice here about a pervert at work and you were all very supportive. I reported using our official channels and he was suspended within days. HR have interviewed everyone on our team and are taking it seriously and doing their due diligence. It's unlikely he will be allowed to return. Thank you all so so much for your kindness and giving me the confidence to deal with it xxx

My MIL wants to gaze through the window at DS even though I only gave birth 113 months ago. Even worse she has asked if she can do it on a Saturday morning. Surely weekends are time for our little family? DH works in a niche field earning a six figure salary so this is our only time together :(
