AU REVOIR MUMSNET!

Yes, it is time to go! We move from our house this coming Monday, then on Thursday we head down to London for 2 nights (see Mumsnet Meet-ups for details), then to Hastings for one night and on Sunday we get the ferry to France! I will lose access to the internet probably over the weekend, although I am hoping to get a laptop to use in France. However this will be intermittent as caravans don't have phone lines! We'll have to hook it up to a mobile, so I'll probably only be able to log on once a week.

I shall miss Mumsnet, although I've been so busy these past few weeks that I've not been on as often as I've wanted to, and I guess it's proved to me that I can actually survive without Mumsnet for a time at least!

And there's one more thing that I've ummed and ahhed about telling you all as it blows my anonymity, but then you've all been brilliantly supportive of all my troubles and so it would be nice to include you all in our fun......I'm actually Catherine Zeta Jones!

Noooo, did anyone believe that? No seriously, you will all be able to find out how we get on in France next year if you switch onto BBC1 9pm a new series titled 'The Naked Us' (yeah I know, crap title, it wasn't our idea!). We're featured in a one hour programme. It's about people who do life-changing things and we were asked to contribute. Filming started about 2 months ago and will continue until Feb/March. The series will be shown next summer.

So thank you all for all that you have done. To the Mumsnet team for producing such a great website that has probably saved my life and my sanity on a number of occasions. Good luck to you all whatever you decide to do and wherever you decide to go. I'll try to pop in from time to time, and certainly if we get settled anywhere I'll get back onto Mumsnet straight away (although I might have to change my nickname once this programme comes out!)

So Au Revoir et Merci Mumsnet!
