Introducing CatherineMumsnet

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).

We need a profile......come on learn a bit quicker

I have a theory.

They won't let Olivia have Mat leave (Justine and Carrie didn't get leave did they???), so just so we don't think MNHQ are bully employers they have renamed her Catherine, so Olivia stays, slogs her guts out whilst in labour and giving birth, changes name to Catherine, so we all think MNHQ are the best emplyers in teh world.

6m later after Stat Mat leave Catherine gets the imaginary sack, changes name back to Olivia....and we all carry on as norma????

BoysAreLikeDogs · 18/01/2008 13:55

Heh heh heh

Oh Catherine it's gonna be fun

QuintessentialShadow · 18/01/2008 13:55

Ohh Catherine, beware of the pedants..... They will maybe want to check your grammar and spelling. They can be nastier than even trolls and huns, and people selling their knickers!

QuintessentialShadow · 18/01/2008 13:54

You think it is her real name?

Maybe their names are Mel, Bella and Stella. But we dont know.....

CatherineMumsnet · 18/01/2008 13:53

As far as spreadsheets go I've heard that they're sealed in a box with a gold padlock that you can only reach if you cross a rope bridge over molten larva - is this not true?
And with trolls don't we just leave them under the bridge where they belong? As you can tell I'm still learning..!
