Miranda Hart webchat: Wednesday 17 October, 1-2pm

[RachelMumsnet]

Finally... and in response to popular demand, we're delighted to announce Miranda will be joining us for a webchat on Wednesday at 1pm. In her first book, Is it Just Me? Miranda shares a wealth of awkward experiences that have punctuated her life, from fashion choices, through to first dates and getting to grips with the etiquette of spa days.

Send your questions to Miranda and share with her your own awkward moments in life. After the webchat we'll ask Miranda to choose her favourite and the winner will receive a signed copy of her book.

Firslty - well done you - very cleverly getting to fawn over Tom and legally manhandle him on a regular basis - envious and taking note of your clever tactics - need to work on a script and get to know his agent...

My 8 yr old DD has been taking lessons from you and now, also very cleverly, has found a loophole in how to get away with telling me to 'wait' or 'in a minute'. She mimics holding a phone accompanied with 'bear with, bear with, bear with' - and we both just collapse laughing.

QUESTION Have you reached the level of comfort with yourself that when you look in the mirror you see an attractive, talented, powerful and succesful woman looking back at you? (I hope so - it's all true)

EXCRUTIATING MOMENT 13 yrs old, thinking I'm ultra cool and grown up and trying to prove so to fellow 'bus' mates at bus stop on way to school. I embarked on a completely fictitious story of how I'd finally been noticed by the (2 years older) crush I was obsessed with and we'd spent the whole evening together at the youth club and he'd asked me out and I'd had my first kiss with him and we were destined to be together bla bla bla, only for him to walk up behind me, having heard every word, and ask for a kiss from his favourite girl - I spluttered and died on the spot but couldn't refuse. I got my first snog and will never forget it from the boy I'd been obsessed with for at least a year BUT rather than it be the perfect memory, for a couple of years, it was horrific! I had to see him every day for the next year at the bus stop.

How brilliant is this? i have dropped a blob of Dairylea on the laptop in excitement.

@DameFannyGallopsAtaGhost

Oh, and then there was the time I accidentally vomited in the hood of the vicar's son's coat..

I beat you - I farted in front of a vicar on Xmas day.

RIP Barbara.

'Aaah, a big wave to your Miranda. GREAT NAME! Do you know it means worthy of admiration. Seriously. Admire us please!! '

Thank you so much! Yes I did know that - that's one of the reasons we picked it

Miranda, what was it like meeting Bear Grylls and going camping in the mountains and snow and stuff? I thought you were amazing in that programme

We love your comedy show but also think you are great in Call the Midwife too. My question is which do you prefer - being in your own show or acting as Chummy in CTW?

@champagnesupernova

Hello Miranda

Thanks for coming on MN.

I don't have any embarrassing moments I am not too ashamed to share

Lots of MNers are saying that you're their girl crush - but who is yours?

How very lovely to be girl crushed upon. Mine is probably Jennifer Saunders or Ellen.

@MirandaHart

I need to tell you all someone had made me a fruit friend - Barbara the Banana and Justine (Mrs Mumsnet) has just eaten it!

It wasn't me guv!

I should add that I gave Justine full approval to eat Barbara. I wanted her to go to a good home before she rotted and lost her looks.

Is that what counts for hospitality at MNHQ? Justine we are all very very dissapointed in you...

@OneMoreGo

Miranda, what was it like meeting Bear Grylls and going camping in the mountains and snow and stuff? I thought you were amazing in that programme

Bear is so lovely. Really encouraging and kind and supportive. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't have dared get in to that TERRIFYING helicopter.

Eek! I've been quoted!

Hello hello ??? Have I missed much ? Literally ran home from nursery with my little one, dinner in micro, floors washed while it's cooking,ate dinner, gave little one ice cream, and relax......hi Miranda !

There is now an Adriana Apple in the house. I am not sure what's going to happen to it.

Justine

You got to at a fruit friend and are denying it?

@PestoSandalissimos

Hi Miranda

Just wondering what your favourite sandwich is?

And what your favourite biscuit is?

Thank you

Weirdly, I don't like sandwiches but if i had to Pastrami and Gherkin. My favourite biscuit is custard cream because it's good for dipping.

I have no questions.

I am in awe.

And laughing a lot, though obviously still in a reverential way.

I fucking LOVE you, Miranda

My DP likes to 'Mirandarise' Game of Thrones eg 'Ned Stark's just received What I Call a raven'.

Only funny if you know GoT

So is that all you have been offered? A Banana? tell them to get the cakes out.

Oooh a cross post with Miranda

Sorry for being all accusatory Justine...

@ChoccyJules

Hi Miranda,

Do you actually know anyone in real life who says 'bear with' when they answer the phone? Sally Phillips cracks me up every time she says it!

I have started saying bear with. It's really useful. Sally gets called the bear with lady in the street she told me.

We are now all talking about girl crushes. Who are yours?

I loved seeing you Bear Grylls' show. Was it you who asked to be on the show as a fan, or did he approach you? Was such a classic episode!

JUSTINE!! How could you?!?!

This may be worse than Biscuit Gate.....

::waves to Miranda::

I don't have a question, but I luffs you and so does my husband and we luffs your show.

I am trying to think of an embarrassing moment but I am not well and really need to go lie down...
