Offline earlier this evening

Mumsnet was offline for several hours earlier this evening. This was due to a hardware fault on one of the several servers used to run the site. Thanks for the various emails of moral support, offers of virtual biscuits and the amusing conspiracy theories.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

So thats what cold turkey feels like

The song lines "I made it through the night, I got myself connected" kept going round and round in my head

I know its rain and protected but in my head thats how it went

Unless.....UNLESS...the party was actually last night and they wanted us all out of the way......

WeNeedToLeaveInFiveMinutes · 16/02/2010 08:45

I spent all evening on farmville. Now I'm a fan but not that much of a fan. I went to visit some sites I used to use but boy, are they dull, dull, dull!

GetOrfMoiLand · 16/02/2010 08:44

Actually lolling at netmums.

I went over there ot have a look ant thopught must post on MN when it is back up and running to say I have defected. Didn't know loads of us nutters were doung the same thing

Poledra · 16/02/2010 08:42

YetMoreTech, could you please arrange to break the servers during working hours? Then at least I might get some work done. Instead, I wandered lonely through the net, that floats high o'er sites and blogs, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host of yellow daffodils pale pink tickered mums.

No I resisted going into Netmums and sorted out my car insurance instead. Worthy, but dull.

GetOrfMoiLand · 16/02/2010 08:41

Lol at netmums.

I went on there and had a look. Couldn't actually be arsed to register and I just read the coffeehouse rules (oh god how bored was I).

Looks like a pile o' shite. And how pink it is over there.

DorotheaPlenticlew · 16/02/2010 08:34

netmums -- lol

Why make your evening even worse?!

OrmRenewed · 16/02/2010 08:32

I didn't post. I couldn't. I was too busy shoving my fist in my mouth and trying not to swear. They don't like it.

Cyb · 16/02/2010 08:23

Cyb · 16/02/2010 08:23

MmmSex · 16/02/2010 08:20

TrinityIsFallingApart · 16/02/2010 08:20

It is pretty horrid
I cant move without agony

MmeLindt · 16/02/2010 08:19

Mastitus is horrible. I remember sitting in bed with a bag of frozen peas on my norks crying and crying. Hope it eases soon.

Cyb · 16/02/2010 08:18

I even joined Twitter in desperation

OhYouBadBadKitten · 16/02/2010 08:16

I have to thank the ladies of the BadMothers Club. They kindly took me in for the evening and were lovely.

TrinityIsFallingApart · 16/02/2010 08:11

MmmSex · 16/02/2010 08:06

I was this close to joining farmville.

I hope you're proud of yourselves.

Littlefish · 16/02/2010 08:01

Quintessential12belowZero · 16/02/2010 07:12

oh poor us lot, having NO mumsnet, while the techs were working their eyebrows off trying to be mechanics on big bad faulty server.

nannynick · 16/02/2010 06:39

At least normal service has resumed and with luck no posts have been lost.
Welcome back Mumsnet. You were missed last night.
