Introducing CatherineMumsnet

JustineMumsnet · 18/01/2008 13:27

We're very excited on account of the fact that we've got some new blood round here at Mumsnet Towers in the form of the very lovely CatherineMumsnet. She's here to do general site duty/ editorial bits n bobs and to look after competitions while Olivia goes off to have her baby. (Did we tell you Olivia was preggers - we're very excited about that too?)

Anyway you'll be seeing Catherine around and about - we know you'll be nice and gentle, after all we've all been the the new girl on the block in our time .

(Am just scheduling her in for weekend duty next full moon by way of an initiation).

Ooo I have just remembered something important Catherine....now you must promise to remember this one...

Olivia has promised the ferrari (which is apparently the prize for best Christmas tip) to me....so remember the name will always be SlightlyMadSomething....

Welcome Catherine

Good Luck Olivia!

At 31 weeks preg any decent employer would have you ensconsed on a Dutalier Babyglide with a stash of chocolate on one side and a stash of pickled onions on the other.

Tsk tsk MNHQ!

VeniVidiVickiQV · 18/01/2008 21:23

Congratulations Olivia

Look forward to the birth announcment thread. Although perhaps it will be under your usual guise?

Welcome Catherine.

We love newbies.

You'll be fine, just one or two rules:

  1. NO text speak/txt spk
  2. NO mum/mummy in your name - you'll have to change it to CatherineMNHQ I'm afraid.
  3. DONT get involved
  4. NEVER take cod seriously
  5. NEVER turn your back for a second.

I think that covers it

Beauregard · 18/01/2008 21:22

oh shit i mean welcome Catherine,lol.

Beauregard · 18/01/2008 21:22

Hello Catherine

Hecate · 18/01/2008 21:17

Should we ask her some questions folks?

Catherine. How often do you visit mcDonalds?

Is grammar

a) important
b) more vital than life itself
c) not as important as what the person is trying to say
d) married to grandad

Walnutshell · 18/01/2008 21:17
