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).

Hello Catherine!! [waves happily with a friendly smile]

Oh and as well as those spread sheets, are you up to speed on the Troll Policy? You do know what has to be done with trolls who offend more than three times don't you?

No? They haven't told you much yet have they??!!!

QuintessentialShadow · 18/01/2008 13:48

Oh my freaking heck.

Spreadsheets....

Dont look at me, I never name change!!!

BoysAreLikeDogs · 18/01/2008 13:47

Hey, how you doin' ?

QuintessentialShadow · 18/01/2008 13:46

Welcome Catherine!

I could not make up my mind whether to say something witty or clever, so I dont...

ShinyHappyPeopleHoldingHands · 18/01/2008 13:46

Will Catherine be allowed access to the Sacred Spread Sheets containing All The Information About Everybodies Namechanges Ever.... you know, the *ones that Hunker got in such trouble over... or is that only after a suitable probationary period..?

OliviaMumsnet · 18/01/2008 13:46

Thanks everyone. It's a PFB so I am very very excited.

I'm not due for a few more weeks yet (end of March) and still have lots to do before I'm even vaguely ready for motherhood - this bump is under strict instructions to stay put for a while.

So you'll catch me around the corridors of MN Towers for a bit longer yet.

CatherineMumsnet · 18/01/2008 13:45

Hello all, courage finally plucked! Thanks for all the welcomes and yes, Justine has warned me about you all! Really looking forward to it

I think I should work for you the amount of time I spend on here, then I can get paid to mnet!

Gizza job!

Welcome Catherine, hope Olivia has left the Little Black Book by the keyboard for you
Good luck on your mat leave Olivia

ShinyHappyPeopleHoldingHands · 18/01/2008 13:39

It WAS Olivia I met at the beginning of the Christmas Meet Up wasn't it? Sorry, I subsequently got so very drunk that the name flew out of my mind...
She was definitely pregnant...

Only I was wondering, did you get your photos developed? Because obviously you've got nothing better to do than email those you took of me and the Shiny possee now that you're going on maternity leave and all... Good luck with the baby

Welcome Catherine!! Talk to us! We don't bite.. often!

bogie · 18/01/2008 13:37

Hi

NAB3wishesfor2008 · 18/01/2008 13:34

Congratulations Olivia!

I saw you in a magazine at Christmas and you looked lovely.

Welcome Catherine.

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 18/01/2008 13:34

Hello Catherine. Don't be shy, come and say hello!

BecauseImWorthIt · 18/01/2008 13:32

Ha ha ha!

Welcome to the mad house - as they say, you don't have to be mad ...

Have you warned her about huns and txtspk?

Congrats to Olivia as well.

BettySpaghetti · 18/01/2008 13:32

Welcome Catherine

ShinyHappyPeopleHoldingHands · 18/01/2008 13:31

I think it's totally fab that you managed to find another person with the Mumsnet Surname! Or has she just "married in.." so to speak

coppertop · 18/01/2008 13:31

Hello, Catherine.

Best of luck to Olivia too.
