Hi all,

Tech has asked us to let y'all know that they will be tinkering in the backend Blush on Sunday morning around 10am.

The site will be down for a while so they can do some essential maintenance and upgrades, hopefully not for too long.

Fear not, there will be no dramatic changes. We are just giving you a heads up that this is happening.

I don't wish to sound fussy, but can I please have a photo of Tech before I decide how I feel about him fiddling around my backend?

Seriously!!??!! MNHQ, this means I will either have to look after the DC (without MN!) or man a stall for the PTA at school Xmas fair (again without MN!!).

Honestly!!?!! How could you. Either Saturday or Monday any time would do nicely.

Could you swap it please? Think of me. It's vital that you do.

Thanks.

It'll be 2.00pm my time. Just in time for me to finish work and be in the taxi home. I'll have to endure the long taxi ride with no Mumsnet. Nooooooooo!!! What are you doing to me? If at any point I needed a Tardis it's now.

MaryZygon · 23/11/2013 10:49

So is it over? Did I sleep through it?

Or is Tech running late?

EXTERMINATEpeppa · 23/11/2013 10:51

yeah im fully functioning

SPsWouldCatFishNev · 23/11/2013 10:54

Mary Its Saturday today Grin

Its Sunday tomorrow, tomorrow the world as we know it ends at 10am

PacificDogwood · 23/11/2013 11:00

It is an Outrage!

I am Raging. And Out.

Never mind 'essential maintenance' and such boringness, what new emoticons will we be able to unwrap, eh?

Expectations are high, MNHQ - if I have to be without the site on Sunday morning, I am entitled to compensation!!

MaryZygon · 23/11/2013 11:33

Oops Grin

EmpireBiscuit · 23/11/2013 11:37

My mobile site is broken!

QOD · 23/11/2013 11:39

Worra fucking liberty

MrsHoratioNelson · 23/11/2013 12:02

Oh my god, I've just got Worra's NN Blush

caramelwaffle · 23/11/2013 12:05

I'll have to work, work.

Not just be at work.

caramelwaffle · 23/11/2013 12:06

Mrs Grin

QOD · 23/11/2013 12:23

Oh Horatio, you fuckwit Grin

HoneyDavros · 23/11/2013 12:48

Exactly how long is not long?

Because not long in my house, when utilised by myself covers a time span ranging from, in the next 5 minutes up until when you have passed through puberty and have your own mortgage.

I'd like a better explanation please.

DoctorWhoPrefersToFlySolo · 23/11/2013 13:51

It's the same in my house too HoneyDavros Blush

alcibiades · 23/11/2013 14:20

Will you be putting up a different "offline" message - just for numpties like me who will have forgotten by tomorrow morning, and possibly go all panicky?

That's a bit uncalled for QOD. I might report you for a PA to distract attention from my stupidity.

MaryZygon · 23/11/2013 15:18

Annie, how about

"first AIBU goes down, then ..."

And then AIBU doesn't come back up again [hopeful]

Grin I actually laughed out loud at you both times

Doesn't happen often

TheEndTisHere · 23/11/2013 17:41

Oh no seeing BIL for first time since our wedding tonight he has decided to visit and DH must think the Queen is visiting too what will keep me sane Sad

Ledkr · 23/11/2013 18:04

Oh no! For how long? Dh has a day off and I wasn't planning on talking to him much.
Come on!

AuditAngel · 23/11/2013 18:25

I don't mind 10am as I am stuck watching swimming lessons (with no broadband), but you haven't said how long. Please MIL is coming to fix my curtains. I may have to go through DD1's wardrobe (did DS's today)
