MN tea ladies have landed in the House of Commons...

Can I give a vote of thanks to the completely fabulous Mumsnet Tea ladies - they were amazing. The whole event was just great and made you think, just for a moment, that working together with partners like Amnesty, Oxfam, Save the Children and the WRA we could actually make a difference. Let's hope it does.

Agree with onebatmother it was the first time I've heard people talk about sisters and solidarity without anyone shying away for ages - but it really did feel like a sisterhood and there really was a feeling of solidarity. And I was so proud of the Mumsnetters and the fact that we were able to say that Mumsnetters do care about their sisters giving birth all over the world and will hold the politicians to account.

So well done all and thanks to CMOTDibbler for sussing out GoodGifts - have also asked Oxfam what opportunities they can offer and will see what, if anything, I can do with the folks I met in Malawi.

Meantime if anyone is itching to take action and has already signed up for Million Mums and sent their Sam Taylor Wood Mother's Day Card they can always email their MP and /or prospective MP's and ask if they are supporting the Manifesto for Motherhood And do feedback if you get a response!

Thanks all, and happy mother's day to y'all
