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.

Yes, I suggested this earlier.

It's rather chilling as one of her last posts mentions her going deaf in one ear. A quick Google brings up many adult cases in recent years including another mother who one day had earache and within days she had died of meningitis. She had been to a Dr and was given stuff for her earache. A chillingly similar tale.

Guys just to say you can donate to the meningitis trust online and you can do it through PayPal so it's really really easy.

MrsK was kind enough to point it out to me and I thought I'd mention how easy it is to do.

Can I also say how lovely it is to see how MN can still pull together in sad times like this.

How awful. So sad for her family.

She was a lovely, lively poster. Someone who made Mumsnet the place it is.

I'm so sad to hear this news. As many have said, she was one of those names I always noticed and enjoyed the warmth, wit, humour and intelligence.

She was SO funny, what an awful loss for her family and friends. Flowers

JakeBallardswife · 18/08/2017 22:12

Such tragic news, so sorry to hear this. Loved her posts never met her but she always struck me as am amazing woman. Thoughts with her friends and family. Flowers

MaisieDotes · 18/08/2017 22:12

I can't believe it.

RIP keith Flowers

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 18/08/2017 22:10

That's awful

She was a definite character on mumsnet and I enjoyed her posts

So very sorry

Condolences to anyone reading this who knew her Thanks

HawkeyeInConfusion · 18/08/2017 22:09

So sorry to hear this news. CTK was one of the few names I'd recognise and her threads were always funny.

My thoughts are with her family and friends. Flowers

ScissorBow · 18/08/2017 22:08

Would an MN campaign highlighting adult meningitis be a fitting tribute? We're all aware of the signs in babies/children but less so in adults.

fairgame84 · 18/08/2017 22:06

Gosh this is awful news.
I don't know her personally but I read lots of her posts and enjoyed them.

My condolences to her friends and family Flowers

Cat Sad she was a real diamond.
I know she lived close to me and I always hoped to bump into her.

Really, really sad news.

That truly is awful news. A decent person, gone too soon. I shall miss her. My heartfelt condolences to all who knew and loved her.

CremeFresh · 18/08/2017 22:00

I'm so sad to hear this . I loved her stories about odd places she slept , the last one I spoke to her on here was of her in a tent in the pouring rain. I was on the verge of taking her a bottle of wine and a packet of fags.

chinam · 18/08/2017 21:59
