MNHQ Open day live thread

[RebeccaMumsnet]

Morning all,

So today's the day , we have the and at the ready and five lovely MNetters are coming in for a visit.
CecyHall , ChaosTrulyReigns, PotatoPolly, FaceLikeAFriendlyApple and Solo will be joining us between 10am and 3pm today.
Sadly Nevergoogle, at 38 weeks, didn't want to risk a live birth thread and Hansolo had an unbreakable appointment but we hope they will watch on with interest.

We will pop back to this thread throughout the day and update what they are up to and they may very well post too.

If you have any burning questions about MNHQ then please do post and we will try and answer them.

Didn't the rice work then?! it always works...

[IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece]

....there's a shit phone shop down here...not sure I'd trust it mind!

[JustineMumsnet]

Actually, I really need a new phone [sobs]

[IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece]

Hq, if you ever need anything from a shop in KT, dont worry yourselves just let me know and I'll drop it in

[Solo]

So does that mean you aren't posting a piece out to me then KateS ?

[NymodigFruOla]

Lego, MNHQ's address has been at the bottom of the page for years. And you've been here for years too. Surprised you've not got around to stalking before now. Never mind, now's your chance

@Solo

Patrick is there! he's the one that doesn't actually have any facial hair. He does look vair young though lucky chap and vair, vair HOT!! can imagine that he's extremely embarrassed now too.

Justine, it is uncooked rice isn't it? because cooked rice will definitely not work!

Can also confirm that judging by the other Mumsnetter attendees plus all the Mn staff; everybody is bloody gorgeous!

KateS is my chocolate brownie in the post?! I would've eaten one there and then, but I just knew that wearing braces as I do, there would've been some rather odd looks directed toward me and all the gloop stuck around my teeth!

Goody bag is fab too! thank you Mn. My mug says Naice Coffee

The brownies lasted approximately 5 minutes after you guys left, then I everyone else in the office had a go on them.

Thank you for your excellent judgement - I can also confirm that everyone in MNHQ (and Mumsnetters obvs) is gorgeous. Especially the mods

[IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece]

Wait...is hq the address at the bottom of the page?! I live minutes from there! Am massively unimpressed I missed mn stalking opportunities!!

[Solo]

Yes Cecy sorry, brain on strike!!

Rowan yes, one day! :)

[RowanMumsnet]

@Solo

RowanMn we missed you on Wednesday! we all wanted to meet you! especially me!

Aw I wanted to meet you too Solo! One day

[CecyHall]

I was first reserve and two people couldn't make it so me and you were able to!

[Solo]

No you weren't first reserve at all! who was first reserve?

[Solo]

HanSolo you were first reserve, how come you didn't go? hope all is ok.

[Solo]

RowanMn we missed you on Wednesday! we all wanted to meet you! especially me!

[Solo]

Brilliant idea Sparkling we must work out how to put this idea to Justine!! I'm 100% sure she'll run with it!!

[Sparklingbrook]

YY Solo and a theme just to be more of a PITA.

[Solo]

Loving the Fancy Dress Friday! that would be really inconvenient good fun!

[Sparklingbrook]

Really casual?

[mistlethrush]

casual-casual ?

[Sparklingbrook]

Exactly Solo? Fancy dress Friday maybe?

[Solo]

Erm...how can you dress down from smart casual?

[Solo]

Speedo and bikini Sundays I think! not really

[Sparklingbrook]

I wonder if they have dress down Friday?

[Solo]

He was indeed wearing a scarf. I wasn't cold at all though, so no, don't think so. I think he was just looking stylish myself. Or perhaps he'd spilled chocolate brownie down his top and was hiding it?!

[Sparklingbrook]

Doh! So it is Solo-I hadn't studied it carefully. He appears to be wearing a scarf-is it cold at MNHQ?
