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.

Oh how dreadful. I only spoke to her a few times on here. So sad.

MsAdorabelleDearheartVonLipwig · 18/08/2017 22:28

That's really shocked me. I instantly recognised the name. She was hilarious, she was so great at story telling. I know I've spoken to her on some of her threads. What a needless, pointless death.

So sorry for her friends and family. Flowers

Poor lady, that's dreadful. She was very funny but also sensible- saw her dispense some great advice. RIP Keith. Her poor family Sad

BlackberryLassi · 18/08/2017 22:27

Oh no! I loved her seasonal name change at Christmas Sad

UnbornMortificado · 18/08/2017 22:27

Her daughter is still so young.

Very sorry and shocked to hear this thinking of her family and friends,

NorthernLurker · 18/08/2017 22:26

So shocking that someone so full of life can die so suddenly.

I really enjoyed her posts. I would start to read and then think 'what's going on here! This is madness.' then glance up at the username to see it was CTK, just doing her thing.

Cunt bunting?

CremeFresh · 18/08/2017 22:23

We could do a swear word in flowers , it would be appreciated by CTK- not so much others though.
I think a campaign to hilight adult meningitis would be a good idea.

So terribly sad Sad .

KimKardashiansArse · 18/08/2017 22:22

Very sorry to read this. Poor thing SadFlowersGin

BellMcEnd · 18/08/2017 22:22

No!!! That's awful awful news. Keith and I swapped spoof Christmas cards a few years ago to wind our parents up with. Hers was hilarious. Proper pelvic floor loosening wit.

Meningitis is a real fucker. My cousin had it 3 years ago. He spent 80 days in ICU and thankfully recovered although not by any means unscathed.

My love and thoughts go out to Keith's family at this dreadful time. Sad

MN just became a duller place. Lots of love to her loved ones.

Brenna24 · 18/08/2017 22:21

What a tragedy. I don't recognise that many usernames on here but she stood out for her compassion, humour and intelligence. The world is poorer for her loss. Her poor husband and daughter too, plus family and friends. My thoughts are with them.

AWaspOnAWindowInAHeatwave · 18/08/2017 22:18

Oh my god. Shocking and sad news. Keith was one of the warmest, funniest, kindest mnetters I've come across in the 4yrs I've been posting here. Such an amazing lady. I remember crying with laughter at the way she recounted some of her predicaments - (the one that springs to mind is Keith taking refuge in a Wendy house because she'd taken her car to be fixed and left her house keys with her car!) - she never took herself too seriously and saw the humour in everything. Lovely, lovely woman. My heart goes out to her family and friends. FlowersFlowersFlowers

Tenementfunster · 18/08/2017 22:17

I remember she had some neighbours across the road who had a mad inflatable bouncy castle in their driveway. She was so funny. Such sad news.

Kickhiminthenuts · 18/08/2017 22:17

Shit. I'm so so sorry to those that knew her.

She read as such a warm, lovely, funny, genuinely kind person. A real gem and despite not "knowing" her I'll miss reading her funny tales.

Sleep tight Flowers my lovely.

weebarra · 18/08/2017 22:16

I'm so so sorry to hear this. I loved her posts and she always sounded like the most fun person. She had such a distinctive voice.
My condolences to all who loved her.

MillieMoodle · 18/08/2017 22:16

Heartbreaking. Rest in Peace CTK, my thoughts are with your family and friends. It's frightening how things can change in just a moment. Flowers

spiderlight · 18/08/2017 22:16

Oh my God. This has really, genuinely shocked me. She was one of my favourite posters - so, so funny and such a brilliant storyteller. Absolutely heartbroken for her family.

UrsulaPandress · 18/08/2017 22:15

I was only discussing meningitis with DD yesterday. So tragic.
