Morning everyone,
We're overwhelmed by your fabulous support and energy - you've been amazing. Think we're not doing too badly at getting this freedom of speech issue out there don't you? (We particularly enjoyed MorningPaper's retraction.)
Look out for BBC, ITV lunchtime news, C4 at noon and London Tonight today.
And thanks to everyone who's written to us. I'm really sorry that we've not been able to get back to everyone individually - it's only me and Olivia here this week as all the gals are off sunning themselves (great timing!) (Am sending regular text updates though) - and as you can imagine we're a bit up to our eyes.
Many folks have asked what they can do to help further.While we are extremely anxious that this should not become a campaign against Gina Ford, if you have strong views on the law and freedom of speech issues involved you could write to: other websites, your newspaper, your MP, the Law Commission, the Lord Chancellor, the Home Secretary.
A Mumsnetter, wannaBe1974, has also set up a petition here . We'll be in touch if we think there are any other useful things you may be able to do to help.

Thanks again for all your support.

morningpaper - someone wants to give you a glass of Blue Nun (or maybe even Lambrusco if you're lucky) over at BMC...

Oh yes, forgot to say Justine must be exhausted, mentally and physically. You are doing a great job girl!

Kiskidee · 08/08/2006 18:43

have to pop into BMC after i put dd to bed. note: her curtains aren't drawn at 6:30pm and I won't be leaving the room at 7pm.

Mercy · 08/08/2006 18:42

Has this really been on R4? dh 'informed'me earlier if it's on R4 it, it's BIG news!

Do all broadcast & radio stations archive their interviews?

southeastastra · 08/08/2006 18:31

well done on london tonight! it seems weird seeing it on the tv

sancerre · 08/08/2006 18:02

Nice idea bumwipes, I'd be right with you picking out that bunch

Justine must have had a hell of a day! Hope all at MN towers feeling ok...

Off to pay sub now as probably the most useful thing I can do right now.

niceglasses · 08/08/2006 18:01

Just heard Justine on PM on Radio 4 - very good. I think I will emigrate to Canada if MN gets shutdown cos its just mad man mad.

HonorMatopoeia · 08/08/2006 17:55

Mumsnet has been an absolute rock for me, helped me through my first pregnancy, baby and given me many laughs along the way. What's not to support? Keep it up ladies

Whizzz · 08/08/2006 17:47

OO might have to tiptoe over to BMC for a nosey !

Bumwipes · 08/08/2006 17:46

BMC Mumsnet Party!

Bumwipes · 08/08/2006 17:44

Hi from BMC, we are throwing a party for you, it has sausages on sticks and everything!! Just trying to work out how I pay this CAT thing, what I would like to do is send that Justine woman a bloody big bunch of flowers. xxx

UnusuallyMilitantGobbledigook · 08/08/2006 15:11

No worries Justine - we all love MN and will do anything to help and avoid closure!

You were excellent on the ITV lunchtime news - it wasn't an easy interview and you were fantastic.

sfxmum · 08/08/2006 15:09

great job could not do without mumsnet

Piffle · 08/08/2006 15:07

Ahh... it's so easy when you know how!

cosmicdancer · 08/08/2006 14:44

Just paid my CAT fee too.

Lemonaid - I think you click contact another talker - took me ages to find out how to pay, too.

gladbag · 08/08/2006 14:44

I think that if you click on 'contact another talker' - on the bottom row of the headers above, it will show you the way.....

Kiskidee · 08/08/2006 14:44

click on contact another talker above to pay CAT.

also click on it if you have paid and don't know if you are up to date or not. it tells you.

lemonaid · 08/08/2006 14:42

OK, I've been too dim to work this out for a while now but in view of current crisis I shall out myself as dim for the greater good -- where on the site do I pay my contribution aka CAT fee?

anthonykiedisbitontheside · 08/08/2006 14:41

I'll promise i'll pay my CAT on the 16th when tax credit comes in (hopefully!) Atm I only have 72p in the bank lol.

flashingnose · 08/08/2006 14:40

I've just paid for CATs too

gladbag · 08/08/2006 14:37

I'm so impressed with Mumsnet's official responses - you're doing a fantastic job, although I'm fuming at the levels of stress and work you must be facing. I'd be bereft without mumsnet. I've paid my CAT too.

Freckle · 08/08/2006 14:35

I know that I paid for membership some time ago - no idea how long ago. Does that cover me for CATs now? Should I pay again? I'm quite happy to pay if I'm due or indeed pay into a fighting fund (which I'm sure won't be needed unless nobody has completely incompetent solicitors advising her that a defamation claim is even remotely a goer), but don't want to confuse MN's accounting procedures.

I haven't yet heard any of the tv or radio coverage (am listening to the JV show on playback now) but have read the newspaper reports and am delighted that the vast majority seem to view nobody's actions with the same amount of bemusement as most sane people. Does she have a new book out??

Well done for keeping the camp fires burning, Justine et al, whilst some are sunning themselves .

Re nobody, do you think you can get a suntan from burning ears??
