<<WW = Initals KB - picture of me and ds4 same as on my profile (the windswept one)Margo, Lapin, 2shoes, MamaG, LTH, Leisel and mamazon are my mn friends. Come and find and add me. What about you, maybe I can find you.>>

well bl00dy typical. This is the only night in over a year that i need some support. You hate me tech don't you?

LOL 33kjs. Always leave mumsnet open and flick to it and away again quickly whenever dp enters the room.

Ok, good timing by me. We're going to have dinner in a few minutes, and I'll be gone anyway. So you have my permission to take it down now.

hi mars, we will be on and off intermittently for the next hour or so yes.....

Well tech if you're shutting up shop I should go to bed!

We've brought the shutdown forward to 1:30 am rather than 5 for various reasons.... we should be back by about 3.

ditto kathyetc, I though dp had secretly put a block on the site. I only discovered it a couple of weeks ago and i'm addicted! It's driving him MAAAAAAAD

LOL at Big Warning. MNHQ you're very considerate to think of our nerves in this way.

(Poor Tech, up at that time of the morning. Perhaps we should rally round and give him an hour during daylight to just get on with it without the aid of ProPlus?)

good old facebook

megalegs, who are you on FB? (Not full name, obv, but whose friend are you so I can stalk?)

Message withdrawn

I am ashamed to say I was forced to go on bebo and facebook lol.

Why does it keep happening? I need mumsnet, I don't have a life

Typical MNHQ - just when I was finally updated my local section with classes that are going on! I've lost them all [frustration]

I too went on Cod's blog. Perhaps 'tis Cod sabotaging mumsnet to get her traffic up?

Hello. I came back then couldn't get on agian for about 10 mins till now I knew it was you Megalegs because I recognised your pic from your MN profile.

I went on cod's blog,actually left a comment after perusing Oprahs fav things.

Oooo is MNHQ offering refunds...I mightbook a holiday to Florida tomorrow night ...

Yay ledodgy's back. Wonder why you couldn't get on at all. <<I was chattingto you on FB just now, don't think I've revealed myself on there>>

I went to BMC, but I couldn't see anyone there...agains....

In Fact i'm going to send MNHQ my Amazon wish list I think they owe me......

I haven't been able to get on since 2pm this afternoon. I was that bored I made an Amazon wish list which was completley futile as we only buy for the children at Christmas and my Birthday isn't until next summer!

WW I lurked there for a bit too. I can't work out how to change my name on there as I'm still tallmummy from 2 years ago.

..I thouhgt DP had somehow blocked MN...thats 2 nights in a row ....

I went to Bad Mothers Club!!!!!

I nearly bought an Old Bag bag but luckily I can't find my purse

I want a refund from Mumsnet for the bras I just ordered from Bravissimo during the crash. I don't think that's an unreasonable request.

<actually, I sounded like a precious tart in my last post. I could have gone and done something constructive, after all>

Rubs bruised forehead.

was having trouble getting on site ,it's always evenings for me.

It's going to happen again later??? <quakes> Oh lord. <frets> <bites nails>

It's just happened again for the second night running. Any time between 9pm and 9.30pm, it crashes.

Also, at lunchtimes, between 1.00pm and 2.00pm.

I've just been restored after another frustrating half an hour or more.

God i thought you were trying to tell me something,each time i have tried to get on here it crashes.

God, I've haven't got so much done in ages!

Hello
Sorry about that (again) Tech's going to be looking into why this is happening when he has a proper look a bit later tonight.

Ironically, I just tried to get from this thread to active convos, and...

aAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHh was having a panic attack there as couldn't get mumsnet for a whole 30 mins- actually had to go and do something in rl-
it waS AWFUL

grrrrr its still doing it

it's the orange advert!!!
(isn't it?)

<snurk> AT least you're not posting twice anymore!

OI! less of that!

wellll, Missy....

i thought i was going mad!

LOL, I just emailed Justine to complain <swivels eagle eyes>

The eagle-eyed may have noticed we just went away for a couple seconds. That was partly to fix what happened last night. We'll leave it alone the rest of the day now....

I used the time to rebuild my failing marriage.

(didn't have sex or anything - I just mean I actually talked to my dh)

Lol thanks. I only very briefly looked at netmums - i haven't bookmarked it like i have mumsnet promise!

Hi ShakeysGirl

We're sorry that the technical error sent you elsewhere briefly but we thought we'd let you know that Mumsnet has a local section. If you click here you can choose the area nearest to you.

You'll be able to see all the best local amenities to you, from indoor play and baby massage, Scouts and ballet, nurseries and partyplanners as well as spas and health clubs all as recommended by MNers.

There's a list of what's on in your area and the opportunity to meet local mums there as well as on the local talk boards.
Hope this helps
MNHQ

It might be time to get Tech an underpaid work-experience assistant or something before he collapses from exhaustion in the manner of Lindsay Lohan.

Hi all, sorry about last night's collapse. We are investigating what went on. We will probably need to go offline overnight tonight for an hour or so to make some changes, but we'll post a warning beforehand. It will probably be around 4 or 5 am, when there are normally only very few people around. Thanks (and sorry again).

I think this is just Tech looking for a bit of attention. He's totally overworked and he's only a man.

I couldn't get on all last night either for the last two weeks it keeps happening at some point in the day.

I could get onto the home page but not onto talk if that happens again is it possible to put something on the homepage so we know it's not just our computers?

it did happen when that orange ad was on again

Your talents are definitely wasted as an engineer Daisy

Well could I join in the flagellation of tech,couldn't get on at ALL last night

i have been trying over an hour to get on
went on cow and gatee site instead

Oh, I'd like to THANK Tech, I got loads done

I read the rules on Parents Lounge. You're not allowed to discuss other websites. You can debate as long as you stay on topic and it doesn't at AT ALL personal. And it was full of glittery things. There was another website with a recent actions list on it
"5.45. Cuddlymum hugged fluffy mum"
"6.30. Fluffymum hugged mummy123"
etc...

I had a look on netmums ~ its quite different to here... But it is local so theres potental to meet up with mums in your area which is a plus

Yeah, bloody forcing us to talk to people in rl
<grumble, and they don't get it when I talk in acronyms>

A thousand apologies - I don't know what happened but am sure Tech will be along soon for some universal flagellation.

well what else was there to do, and I was feeling creative

I managed to join the NCT, e-mail for info on becoming a peer supporter, do some Christmas shopping and send an e-mail as well, so it was quite a productive evening by my usual "glued to MN" standard!

Its to remind us we have lives

I got round to checking out DD's school's revamped website and somewhat accidentally
snopes.coms piece on The Golden Compass. Which annoyed me considerably. I've always thought snopes was a site dedicated to rational unpicking of urban myths, but this seemed like a biased review.

Yes,happens a lot these days doesn't it?

Pull yer finger out Tech.

Crikey, you were bored weren't you

I went and looked at UK Parents Lounge. It was awful <quakes>

lololol

you had the patience to write a poem????

i nearly threw my latop at the flippin wall!

Mumsnet why do you keep crashing?
It really leaves me bashing
At the keys

It's certainly frustrating
To keep us addicts waiting
On our knees

You gave us custom talkboards
Then randomly they won't load
You're a tease

We want to talk to our mates
See the MN jury fix fates
If you please

So Tech just get it fix-ed
Or mice they might have clicke-ed....
....On Netmums
