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

Terrifying Shock

FishWithABicycle · 10/10/2014 10:41

This is going to be like the New York blackouts of 1977. A wave of crime as frustrated MNers kill their MILs denied the safety valve of coming here to rant, triggering an economic crisis. Society falling into chaos and dystopia as countless domestic and personal situations are tackled without wise advice to LTB or to consider "no" as a complete sentence. In decades to come, young MNers who are currently at school will be wide-eyed at our tales of how we survived, and what we did that day.

Thank feck. My shoulder may actually start to feel better after a rest. Am I the only poster out there that has developed a sore shoulder from constant mumsnetting? Blush

MyFairyKing · 10/10/2014 10:06

I am so distressed. I'm not alarm, just very, very, very sad. Sad

sashh · 10/10/2014 09:30

OK mumsnet where is the notice period?

Couldn't you have given us enough time to organise a meet up or three?

OwlWearingSunglasses · 10/10/2014 09:24

Oh crap. I now have no reason not to do the bloody hoovering. Sad

ChubbyKitty · 10/10/2014 08:14

Everyone I know is away this weekend.

I'll have to go shopping with my dad. I'll do an experiment. I dunno what yet. Something to do with shoes, no doubt.

Jill2015 · 10/10/2014 08:00

But...but...I'm a regular and I can prove it...naice ham, cutted up pears..
Sorry, just wanted to use that line somewhere, sometime Wink
