DO NOT BE ALARMED. Mumsnet is going to be offline for a few hours SATURDAY OCTOBER 11

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 might have to talk to my Ds! He'll make me paint things and do stuff!
And how will I have my lie in while on mn and Ds parked in front of Beebies?

@JuniperTisane

Is Gransnet affected as well?

It is not! And you'd all be very welcome there I'm sure. No swearing, mind.

SisterMoonshine · 09/10/2014 13:57

Will there be changes? Hmm

So we're going to be without MN for 4 or 5 days then if the track record is to be believed Shock Grin

I would love a field trip to The Other Place. I've only seen it in travel brochures.

AGnu · 09/10/2014 13:45

Seriously?! What am I supposed to do?! Saturday mornings are when DH takes the DC out & I have silence to MN in! Pff, next you'll be suggesting I go with them & have actual RL fun! Angry

Anything but sodding penis beaker.

HoneyDragonMumshnet · 09/10/2014 13:35

As it's a special day can you make it 26 threads and undelete the one where Justine used her superhuman power of scold™ and told us if we didn't stop saying Mitmoo and start behaving she'd pull the plug. Please?

I've always thought it unfair that when Justine decides to Flounce she can take the entire site with her Hmm

I predict a baby boom in 9 months

There won't be much else to do after all. Wink

Gin, KingJoffreys. The sun will be over the yard arm somewhere.

KingJoffreysBloodshotEye · 09/10/2014 13:23

It's fine.

Watching Minecraft for 8 hours with no distraction will be fine.

Absolutely fine.

FoxSticks · 09/10/2014 13:20

I agree with DejaVu

TheFairyCaravan · 09/10/2014 13:18

I don't mind as long as you promise it'll be back on for the XFactor thread! DS1 is coming home tomorrow night, for 10 days, with 3 bags of washing! I'm sorted for the morning on Saturday already. Grin

startwig1982 · 09/10/2014 13:18

And what am I meant to do when feeding dd? Plus I have both dc on Saturday by myself: who's going to help me retain some sanity??ShockShock

DejaVuAllOverAgain · 09/10/2014 13:14

I think MNHQ should send us all gin and chocolates to help us survive the shock of not being able to mn during that time Grin

skyeskyeskye · 09/10/2014 13:09

Good job I'm working most if the day then!

Ooh yes, Bounty!! That's where I joined when I was pregnant with Mini Skye in 2008.

You do realise your new sooper dooper computer will crash at 2pm when we all rush online! Grin

EyesCrossedLegsAkimbo · 09/10/2014 13:08

Passive consumption is the order of the day!

Gin?
