Hi all,

We know that some of you have clocked it already but we thought we would have an official thread to announce with Sad hearts that we have to bid farewell to the wonder that is HelenMumsnet

For those of you who don't know where have you been? Helen has headed up the MN Community team for several years now and she is orf to pastures new.

Aside from supplying MNHQ with plenty of Cake and Gin, she has worked tirelessly on many many elements of Mumsnet over the years to help shape it into the site we see today Thanks .

She has trained many of us and been one of the kindest and most supportive colleagues it's possible to have!

So please join us in raising a glass Wine to the lovely HelenMumsnet - we will miss you and we wish you the very very best in your new job.

p.s Please don't troll us, you know too much Wink

Ode to HelenMumsnet by OliviaMumsnet

A blue Sad face is not enough to describe our feeling
The news that Helen's leaving HQ has left us all reeling.
We wish her all the very best in her new endeavour.
We're sure her new employers know that she's not just clever,
Her long list of skills is wonderfully impressive,
Though she plays it down, for she's discreet and not excessive.
When (wo)manning the ship she maintained perfect control,
Hunting out with precision every sock puppet, perv or troll.
She is generous to a fault, in knowledge, care and time,
Her replies on Site Stuff threads verged from brilliant to sublime.
A discerning modern woman, she don't believe the hype,
Though she's regularly at the sentences she has had to type.
The Mumsnetters will miss her as off she fucks to pastures new
And all of us at the Towers will miss her smile and bossy emails too.

OffSkite is witty though (even if I say so) because Helen is Off Site - see?Wink

HelenIsOffSkite · 16/08/2013 11:08

Not that it'll get much use, I'm off for a mini MN-meet up now so will be out all day.

HelenIsOffSkite · 16/08/2013 11:09

I was thinking it was more off-ski in a sort of 80's Norm-ski type way...

Off site works too.

UnitedZingDom · 16/08/2013 11:14

I ? it, it really suits you Blather!Grin

HelenaLindor · 16/08/2013 11:17

Oooh, yes. I didn't think of that. You are right. It is fab.

HelenaLindor · 16/08/2013 11:44

There is no Cake?

But that is just cruel. To dangle cake in front of us for one day only.

SoupDragon · 16/08/2013 11:45

See how swiftly they forget her?

Laughing like Mutley at Zing in war paint, class! Oh I'm easily pleased.

Anyway, did somebody mention cake?
What, no cake? So my options are Or Death? Thank you for flying Church of England, cake or death?

FoxPass · 16/08/2013 12:17
