So, we thought we'd have a sort of Mumsnet open day...

Ever found yourself wondering, in an idle moment, what really goes on at MNHQ? If you’re curious to know who’s in charge of the big red delete button, what we keep in our biscuit tin, and whether we do, in fact, harbour mainland UK’s largest cache of gin well, here’s your chance. On Wednesday 26th March we’re planning to throw open our doors to five nosy interested Mumsnetters, who’ll have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to uncover our deepest, darkest secrets.

Attendees will be treated to

  • a tour of MNHQ (which will take approx 10 mins)
  • the opportunity to grill our community, content, bloggers, events and campaigns folks on anything you fancy
  • the chance to ransack our books box for a load of freebies
  • lunch on me (possibly with Wine)

We’ll also do our best to organise an exciting webchat guest for the day, so you can see backstage on those too.

Our offices are in central-ish London (Kentish Town); if you’re likely to be within striking distance on March 26th, and fancy a nose around, add your name to this thread; we’ll stick it in a hat and do a Hunger Games-style reaping on Monday 3rd March. Come on now, don’t be shy - what could possibly go wrong?

[May the odds be ever in your favour]

Licked? Licked?

I mean picked

Although I guess it depends on who is doing the licking...

NymodigFruOla · 03/03/2014 18:21

Shock, would you like to re-word/spell that post Hearts? Grin

(Apart from DH's bad news re work - sorry)

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 03/03/2014 18:22

Ooooh Showy you just keep right on goin' there

NymodigFruOla · 03/03/2014 18:32

"Well I am at home, leg elevated ... "

"Obv I would love to be licked ... "

Great juxtaposition, Hearts Grin

Ohwhatfuckeryisthis · 03/03/2014 18:46

Oh pickHearts, just for that.

IamtheZombie · 03/03/2014 18:47

Would anyone like some Wine while we wait?

YoureAShoe · 03/03/2014 18:51

Wine Cheers guys! Grin

MinesAPintOfTea · 03/03/2014 18:55

Barely staying awake with a Brew I'll pass thanks

RatherBeOnThePiste · 03/03/2014 18:57

I suspect they are all trying to work out how to break it to me gently that my name is still in the hat.

Sad
NymodigFruOla · 03/03/2014 18:57

I'm already Wine Wine too, thanks Zombie - as I guess you might be too after a 3.5 hour lunch

IamtheZombie · 03/03/2014 19:13

Ah, but Zombie's friend lives about 60 miles away, Fru. We've built up a list of nice pubs roughly midway between us. We have fun without the alcohol. Grin

LineRunner · 03/03/2014 19:23

I am off the warfarin now, so have a massive trough of wine, thank you very much indeed.

NymodigFruOla · 03/03/2014 19:23

We will!

Mintyy · 03/03/2014 19:26

No, I reckon they have now picked names out the hat but are trying to re-jig it so that the arsey ones don't get a look-in.

I am vair mystified as to why your leg is elevated Hearts?

SidandAndyssextoy · 03/03/2014 19:32

We have (a) a first choice school and (b) a promising new job in the offing in this house. I hope MN make it a three good things day.

MotherOfDragon · 03/03/2014 19:35

The tension is unbearable! Come on MNHQ! Smile

NymodigFruOla · 03/03/2014 19:41

They're not going to tell us until tomorrow, are they?

Mignonette · 03/03/2014 19:45

I think there's been a hitch with the restraining orders Smile

MrsFlorrick · 03/03/2014 19:47

I think the silence speaks volumes.... Wink

Or perhaps they decided to test some Wine for the lunch and are now singing "I will survive" Grin

NymodigFruOla · 03/03/2014 20:13

MrsF Grin

TheHoneyBadger · 03/03/2014 20:25

no news then?

RebeccaMumsnet · 03/03/2014 20:27

drum roll....

EstoyAqui · 03/03/2014 20:31

Disappointed but well done to those picked. I can't wait to hear all the gossip.

PseudoBadger · 03/03/2014 20:32

Hooray for Chaos!

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 03/03/2014 20:32

Leg thingy is very boring sprained knee, at bottom of ski hill, not even wearing my skis, slipping and doing that upturned-turtle thing with my knee twisted under me, all sorts of handsome Italian ski instructors looking down their noses at me Blush Blush
