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

Speaking of which, What has happened to our moon?
Its absence has been noticed.

Gransnet let me in (I offered flowers). It's nice there, I may stay for a bit to eat the Bakewell Tarts.

MrsExcited · 10/10/2014 22:36

Oh no can't cope!!!

Lookslikeimstuckhere · 10/10/2014 22:33

Gransnet doesn't like me either, email has no content so can't confirm registration. Is it because I didn't offer enough Cake?

Ohwhatfuckeryisthis · 10/10/2014 22:28

Well Nyah nyaa. I've gawn over to gn too. I'll have to mind my ps and qs though. (And stop fucking swearing) see yo over there.

PinkSquash · 10/10/2014 22:16

My H has proposed that I can keep my mind off MNing by walking in some woods and making a den...

MN please don't leave me with this. Please!

HowsTheSerenity · 10/10/2014 22:14

Mwah hahahahaha being overseas has it's advantages

This coincides with a very rare day at home for us. It's meant to be raining too. And I've already banned all Nintendo DS-ing this weekend after some atrocious behaviour after school today.

I'll be ok with housework and twitter, I hope Hmm.

Ohwhatfuckeryisthis · 10/10/2014 21:55

I have to do housework, I will hold you responsible.

This is not acceptable behaviour Mumsnet. Not acceptable at all. My mother is visiting, now I might actually have to converse with her.

Can you not prod the techs with a stick a bit, make them speed up?

QueenofLouisiana · 10/10/2014 20:53

How am I meant to get through tomorrow's swimming lesson?? And a long coach journey???

flamingtoaster · 10/10/2014 20:31

Oh dear... . Maybe we should make a list of jobs we can get our OHs to do tomorrow - then we could actually supervise them to make sure they are doing them properly.

Please can MNHQ tweet immediately when you are back.

HappyAgainOneDay · 10/10/2014 20:09

Well, I suppose whatever it is has to be done. Luckily, I have to go to Sainsbo's with a neighbour on Saturday mornings .....

TwoTonTessie · 10/10/2014 19:52

What happens when everyone logs back in at once? Will the server go into meltdown?

Trills · 10/10/2014 19:50

Off to Gransnet...

Actually being a gran sounds more fun than being a mum
