Mumsnet offline Thursday night

Mumsnet will be offline tonight, Thursday, from just before 11pm or so. We're doing a few small updates and a bit of housekeeping. It will be off for a while unfortunately, so maybe an early night and check in over your cereal in the morning?

I'm not going to offer MSN updates this time - you'd not believe the story from last time I did that, even if I did tell you, which I won't. The good news is that if it goes badly there will be at least a dozen people to blame. If it goes well I'll be around to take all the credit.

Let's just hope we don't hit the headlines this time.

I am ashamed! I didn't read enough of the pages to realise that the article was a spoof, although I did think the end comment was a bit strange.

I'll get me coat...

MARGOsBeenPlayingWithMyNooNoo · 29/01/2009 21:12

Ha! It's not really going offline, YMT just wanted to show you his BBC handiwork.

MrsSeanBeanHasGivenUpIroning · 29/01/2009 19:17

True

psychomum5 · 29/01/2009 19:14

but where is the proof that the winking does not work.

he may in fact think that it is some twitch to do with our inner-wiring that needs immediate attention to save us going into meltdown.............

TheInvisibleManDidIt · 29/01/2009 19:11

Nope. Dont believe it. Have you seen how gorgeous his wee one is on his profile?

MrsSeanBeanHasGivenUpIroning · 29/01/2009 19:08
