[RebeccaMumsnet]

Morning all,

So today's the day , we have the and at the ready and five lovely MNetters are coming in for a visit.
CecyHall , ChaosTrulyReigns, PotatoPolly, FaceLikeAFriendlyApple and Solo will be joining us between 10am and 3pm today.
Sadly Nevergoogle, at 38 weeks, didn't want to risk a live birth thread and Hansolo had an unbreakable appointment but we hope they will watch on with interest.

We will pop back to this thread throughout the day and update what they are up to and they may very well post too.

If you have any burning questions about MNHQ then please do post and we will try and answer them.

Having a chat with PatrickMumsnet about academy -

Is PatrickMumsnet your work experience lad?

Zombie is not .

No, she really isn't.

Not in the slightest.

PatrickMumsnet has been at MNHQ for a while, I remember seeing his photo on the 'Movember' thread in 2012.

Zombie - you should have packed off an eye to Chaos so that you could have a sneeky peek...

Ooh, so what's it like so far everyone? (except me and Zombie )

Are there many people about?

or are they just straggling in now after last night's gin and creme egg brownie session?

Or perhaps they're claiming that all this is just in your honour ?!

We've moved on to a chat with SarahMumsnet about content and editorial.

Anyone's ears burning?

Will the young visiters be permitted to wield the Banhammer?

With pictures please.

Not mine, Sparkling

Fru.

They've gone awfully quiet...

That's because they've opened the to go with the chocolate brownies and all the cakes in front of Patrick
