Hello everyone,

We're very sorry, but Mumsnet is going to be offline THIS COMING SATURDAY, October 11, from 6am(ish) to 2pm(ish) while Tech undertakes some essential maintenance. We're leaving our creaky old data home for a whizzy new high-tech place, and we need to move the furniture. (MNHQ itself isn't moving - we couldn't cope with that )

But! We've no intention of leaving you high and dry. If it's too early on a Saturday to think about facing real life, fear not. We've plumbed the archive and pulled together a selection of 25 of the finest threads in Mumsnet's history, and we'll be putting those on a holding page while we're offline. The long winter evenings morning will just fly by!

Very sorry for the inconvenience but we're afraid this one's unavoidable.

Strength and honour
MNHQ

I assume a phone number for counselling is on offer during that time?

FruVikingessOla · 09/10/2014 15:54

I'm not scared of Justine [blase]

HoneyDragonMumshnet · 09/10/2014 15:51

Fenton

You are aware that NetMums have words with Justine when we visit them aren't you?

That's not bad of course.

That bad but is when Justine has words with us. I don't like bit. She too. Her is a lot scarier than Rowan and Olivia's.

FruVikingessOla · 09/10/2014 15:35

I don't think that anyone has said that they'll be fumming yet?

I just had a look at Gransnet. I fucking love it. I just want to be a Gran now.

MrsTerryPratchett · 09/10/2014 15:10

Thanks MN. You picked Thanksgiving in Canada, which means I can't MN without being rude anyway, it will be the middle of the night here AND I'm supposed to be studying for my Citizenship exam. All in all, perfect timing for me, MrsTP. The case of gin is in me the post.

Cheers MNHQ, you totally rock.

Fenton · 09/10/2014 14:47

We could start a thread in coffee house chat, "the builders are in, I have 8 hours to kill, who wants to chat?"

or summat

TheWholeOfTheSpoon · 09/10/2014 14:40

Net... Netwhat? Didn't catch what you said.

Now Gransnet... there's a fine site that you should all check out and get log-ins for toot sweet no arguing (and no swears).

Swearing Nan is undergoing a Gransnet-sponsored rehabilitation process and is currently writing a thought piece for the Telegraph on cultural tropes associated with age-enriched women.

We should have a code word for the field trip. Pom bears? Nice ham? Something nonspecific but along those lines?

Sharon! If you don't have a NM login already, you must sign up as Sharon.

BertieBotts · 09/10/2014 14:32

Don't they swear on gransnet then? What about swearing Nan, where does she go? Is there a NetGrans? (NetNans?) Are they polar opposites of the mums' versions?

MySpideySenseTickles · 09/10/2014 14:29

Sad I shall try.

BirdhouseInYourSoul · 09/10/2014 14:25

Well I approve of the timing because I'm doing a 10 mile charity walk on Saturday so I'll not miss much!

Will you be throwing a new (tech) home party?

MNHQ
RowanMumsnet · 09/10/2014 14:17

We're really sorry MySpidey - we can't, we won't be able to have anything online at all while the move is in progress, other than the holding page. Maybe you could start a thread on Gransnet and direct your MN friends there?

EVERYBODY STOP HAVING RUDDY BIRTHDAYS

We're trying to hatch a plan to give you a small Gransnet outpost for the duration. They are staring at us thoughtfully over the tops of their glasses.
