OT Mumsnet must be well informed

Just had the Scarborough warning off my Mum about damaging the bedroom carpet in Filey.

Does your mum read all your Usenet posts or just the ones about her?

My Mum does not use the internet.

Does your fiance read (some of) your Usenet posts? Clever woman may have seen it as a way to earn favour with future MiL - and learn from a woman who's had practice in managing you :)

I wonder if he is still in prison?

Well my parents only found out that she was my fiancee a few weeks ago at my Dad's 70th Birthday party.

I had announced the engagement on facebook and it's not my fault that they don't have facebook accounts. Mum had a face like thunder when she found out about the engagement. But she was also complaining about me managing to get mud on my trousers at a 70th birthday things like "it's like having a 6 year old to look after, it's time you grew up"

Trust me, my fiancee and my Mum hate each other.
