    ? I am here, but I barely get time to talk these days.

    I miss BT too. MD is not the same.

    I enjoy reading all the flouncy threads - disappointed there's likely to be none of those again for a while ?

    Hi, I joined hitched back in 2002 when planning my wedding. I had a break for a while and went on to BT, then remembered this bit of hitched. I 'lurk' every day and sometimes think 'Oh, I 'll join in but don't. Hello everyone. ?

    Hello Lurkers-who-are-lurkers-no-more!
    Lovely to see some new names popping up (not that i don't lurve all the oldies, of course) It doesn't take long to get right into the clique that we are not and please stick around.

    I have not got to over 4,000 posts by only dropping pearls of wisdom. Most of what I say is loblocks.

    Aw, that is a shame, I think that MD is easier to use ? especially on my phone. I think that you should all leave here and come over to MD OT instead ?

    I sometimes post here, but no-one really replies to me, so I just talk to myself ?

    Nah, you're all right...

    1. My interest in babies and all things parenting is extremely limited (understatement of the year)

    2. I don't have a smartphone.

    Ah, but I am not interested really in babies either, I go on the OT part there mostly apart from Birth Annoucements.

    I take your point about the smart phone

    ?

    I lurked for ages before posting because I was a bit scared. But then I realised, you might all be cliquey wine drinking bullies, but I quite liked you and felt like a bit of a stalker not posting.

    And for Jojo, 81 days to go for me?

    I lurked on OT while busy in WP then a load of us that were in WP at the same time seemed to migrate over to OT. I posted every now and then but the longer ive been on the more i most. Even if it is irrelevant and makes no sense!

    This! I was a member on WP for a while before I realised there was an OT bit.

    Maybe we should appoint an ambassador to go to WP and extend an invitation? Any volunteers?

    Hello

    Brand newbie here! I've been lurking for a couple of months now, started over on WP as i get married at the end of the year but i got a bit bored over there so ventured over here!

    I'm not sure why I haven't posted before, I've been meaning to but just never got round to it... (secretly a little bit scared!!)

    Important things you need to know are I like baking, I think dogs are better than cats and I like wine (but not gin)!

    Hiiiii,

    I feel like a lurker/newbie all over again because I was on BT for a while and then had a sad time and stopped posting there too! Now I don't know where to post! However, the lurking over the last few weeks has been TRE-MEND-OUS! Maybe I can be your new crazy....I mean I've had a busy day so far....I nearly fell in front of a train...but thankfully I was saved by this guy who turns out had a crazy criminal record but thankfully the police had called me earlier that morning to warn me it would happen so then I just went to mcdonalds because I had to go pee again and had 4 double cheeseburgers because you know....i lose weight when I eat 4 cheeseburgers. Anyway, must dash because my H has turned up at my workplace for some mid afternoon loving.

    Hope I'll fit in here ?

    Eeek! Jump in - I love a proposal. By definition we don't get to celebrate very many! Hopefully your boyfriend will propose soon!

    Tell us about the two of you.

    Do you like wine and cake?

    Hello all newbies/delurkers.

    I love the way as a group we are generally known for our love of cake, wine, pets and gin. I think we are doing well.
