So, we thought we'd have a sort of Mumsnet open day...

Ever found yourself wondering, in an idle moment, what really goes on at MNHQ? If you’re curious to know who’s in charge of the big red delete button, what we keep in our biscuit tin, and whether we do, in fact, harbour mainland UK’s largest cache of gin well, here’s your chance. On Wednesday 26th March we’re planning to throw open our doors to five nosy interested Mumsnetters, who’ll have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to uncover our deepest, darkest secrets.

Attendees will be treated to

  • a tour of MNHQ (which will take approx 10 mins)
  • the opportunity to grill our community, content, bloggers, events and campaigns folks on anything you fancy
  • the chance to ransack our books box for a load of freebies
  • lunch on me (possibly with Wine)

We’ll also do our best to organise an exciting webchat guest for the day, so you can see backstage on those too.

Our offices are in central-ish London (Kentish Town); if you’re likely to be within striking distance on March 26th, and fancy a nose around, add your name to this thread; we’ll stick it in a hat and do a Hunger Games-style reaping on Monday 3rd March. Come on now, don’t be shy - what could possibly go wrong?

[May the odds be ever in your favour]

Agree with Val that Zombie is lovely in the undead flesh even if she is missing an arm

Ohwhatfuckeryisthis · 25/02/2014 11:48

I have very white hair. (I got told this this morning) I'm coming out in solidarity with my teacher chums just in case.

magimedi · 25/02/2014 08:09

Ahem. My hair is whiter . So I win.

And I won't lower the tone by flashing my suspies!! Grin

IamtheZombie · 24/02/2014 23:57

Ahem. Zombie believes it has been established that she is older than you, magi.

AFingerofFudge · 24/02/2014 22:42

Kentish Town? That's practically on my doorstep! I could cycle over, all nice and sweaty for lunch with Justine.

Do the winners get a wardrobe budget?

Blondieminx · 24/02/2014 22:13

I would love to come! Smile

LynetteScavo · 24/02/2014 22:09

Or even better, there could be golden tickets involved.

LynetteScavo · 24/02/2014 22:09

Oh, I have to go to work on that day! Angry Sad

And I think we should nominate posters to go....or rather people could nominate themselves and we could vote for them, selecting think would report back most honestly. Grin

Wincher · 24/02/2014 22:04

Me please! Can I bring the baby in a sling? I'd get me mum to have the 3 year old!

Edenviolet · 24/02/2014 22:03
