I don't know if this is the right thing to do, and I'm so sorry if not.

catthiefkeith passed away today.

I know there are mumsnetters who know her know how amazing she is, and I just wanted to raise a glass to her memory on here, where she brought a smile to so many faces with her stories of her mad life.

Rest in peace lovely lady.

Fucking meningitis....itbreally is a shitty thing to contract. I loved the suspicions that her neighbour had been in her house. I thought of her the other day as I hadn't seen her post for a while. Sleep well little lady we will miss you.

CTK's boat thread is still here. Just read it again. Such a lovely thread. Hard to comprehend all of this. Sad

WeAreEternal · 19/08/2017 10:28

What awful news to wake up to, she was such a lovely MNer.

My sincere condolences to her family and friends. Flowers

TheHauntedFishtank · 19/08/2017 10:28

So sad, sleep tight CTK - you made the world a better place for being in it even if it was for far too damn short a while Flowers

Terrible news. RIP CTK. I had the pleasure of meeting her at a meet up once. A really lovely person. She was a good one. ☹️

CakeUpWall · 19/08/2017 10:24

Don't know what to say. Shit. Fuck.

Loved her.

Horsemad · 19/08/2017 10:24

The recent tent one is still around I think.

magimedi · 19/08/2017 10:24

Alpaca - What a lovely idea. I've reported your post to HQ in hope that they will do this.

Fluffyears · 19/08/2017 10:23

Oh that's sad I always liked her posts she seemed like s really nice and funny person. Hope her family are ok, I feel a bit tearful about it.

AlpacaPicnic · 19/08/2017 10:21

Are there any of her threads still around? Can we get one put into classics as a tribute?

AlpacaPicnic · 19/08/2017 10:20

I'm genuinely gutted to hear this awful news. CTK was one of those posters I just 'knew' and I was so sure we'd get along if we ever met.

Rest In Peace CatThiefKeith. Hopefully surrounded by cats and other furries.

My thoughts are with her family. Shocking. Here's me annoyed because the damn carpet fitter hasn't turned up. Puts it into perspective Sad

Cocolepew · 19/08/2017 10:08

What tragic news, my thoughts are with her family and friends.
She made me laugh out loud more than anyone on here.

IgnoreMeEveryOtherReindeerDoes · 19/08/2017 10:03

Like many I am so sad to read this, I loved reading her threads as always make you laugh no matter what. Not easily shocked but reading this has just totally unexpected! And so devastating for her family Flowers

fourpawswhite · 19/08/2017 09:55

I'm so sorry to read this. My thoughts are with her family and friends.

Hissy I think that's a lovely idea.

APlaceOnTheCouch · 19/08/2017 09:53

So sorry to read this.
RIP CTK Flowers

MsHooliesCardigan · 19/08/2017 09:42

Really shocked. I met her twice at MN meet ups. She was lovely. Sympathy to her loved onesFlowers

Arsenicinthesugarbowl · 19/08/2017 09:37

Such sad news. CTK was such a vibrant and sparkling poster. She will be missed. Condolences to her friends and family.

TheWoollybacksWife · 19/08/2017 09:33

What terrible news. Her poor family. My condolences to all who loved and knew her.

I'm another who loved her tales. When stuff like that happens to the rest of us we sit with our head in our hands and grumble. CTK saw the bright side of life in all it's glory.

BBQsAreSooooOverrated · 19/08/2017 09:32

How sad. I didn't know her irl but I enjoyed her posts.

Remembered when I woke up this morning and as someone said up thread it was a gut punch moment. I can only image how her family are feeling. Sad

She always came across as one of life's lovely warm funny people.

I think an MN Meningitis awareness for adults campaign would be good.

My DS missed the jab he was supposed to have at school last year - he is 16 - and as he is hates injections he reckons he would take the chance. I wasn't going to let him anyway but will definitely be dragging him for the jab asap.
