That's it really. Mumsnet are appearing on 'This Morning' in the not to distant future, so where do their fees go?

I think there should be a poll on which charity it goes to - don't you?

They are plugging a book, I would be very suprised if they got fees and I wouldn't consider it any of our business what they do with fees if they did get any.

I doubt there will be a fee. But if there is I am with Peachy- Homestart is a brilliant choice

If I was on it id take the money moi meme

I'm pretty sure that celebs don't get an appearance fee if they are promoting something

I'm not sure there will be a fee? They get airspace to sell the book, and be guests on the show. If they were paid, then I imagine they would put it in their MN tin. Quite right too.

I don't see why they should go to charity at all really? Mumsnet is a business, and Justine et al invested a lot of time for free early in the project, so re-investment in the business now just kind of evens it out?

As an aside, I wouldn't be surprised if there ISN'T a fee anyway... it will be deemed to be good PR for them (for free)

How generous of you to 'help' MN apportion their fees (if they exist)

charitygirl · 09/02/2009 19:24

Why doesn't it go to Mumsnet - the chat don't come for free!

And do they even get a fee?

Peachy · 09/02/2009 19:24

A poll would be good.

There's already a link with a cot death charity isn't there? I think you'd have to be pretty mean to be anti that.

Whereas if you asked for more ideas we'd all just yell for the one that helps us most.

For a more general MN ethos alike charity- Homestart?

i think they should go to keeping MN running, with maybe a contribution to charity.

if MN are getting any fees at all....
