DO NOT BE ALARMED. Mumsnet is going to be offline for a few hours SATURDAY OCTOBER 11

[RowanMumsnet]

Hello everyone,

We're very sorry, but Mumsnet is going to be offline THIS COMING SATURDAY, October 11, from 6am(ish) to 2pm(ish) while Tech undertakes some essential maintenance. We're leaving our creaky old data home for a whizzy new high-tech place, and we need to move the furniture. (MNHQ itself isn't moving - we couldn't cope with that )

But! We've no intention of leaving you high and dry. If it's too early on a Saturday to think about facing real life, fear not. We've plumbed the archive and pulled together a selection of 25 of the finest threads in Mumsnet's history, and we'll be putting those on a holding page while we're offline. The long winter evenings morning will just fly by!

Very sorry for the inconvenience but we're afraid this one's unavoidable.

Strength and honour
MNHQ

Gransnet let me in (I offered flowers). It's nice there, I may stay for a bit to eat the Bakewell Tarts.

I hope this big update has bakewell tart.
AND a Sun & Moon!

Speaking of which, What has happened to our moon?
Its absence has been noticed.

It's ok everyone. Gransnet has gin. And wine. We may not come back.

3 minutes (ish) to go ......

Aaaaahhhhhhhh

I'm gibbering in the corner here

I didn't get up early ds always getd up now!
It's 6!

6am and still here, maybe tech are still having their coffee.

Gets.
We're still here!

I'm up still not having a baby. Humph.

Hoover under the sofa, worked for me.

It does need a good clean under there - I'll give it a go

We're on borrowed time now

My waters went about three hours after. I think it was the kneeling lol

Well they did say "ish" but waiting for the moment of cutoff is tense...

It feels slightly rebellious being here still! I'll try hoovering, curry and go for another long walk during downtime! Hopefully I'll be in labour by the time mn is back!

Weirdly tense isn't it? Wondering if your message will get through and if it will be your last one.

Oh I just started a thread. Totally forgot about this :( will have to wait hours for a response now. Humph.

Sideways on the stairs too!
I expect to hear baby news.
With mn down you'll have nothing better to do

Is anyone else posting shorter messages hoping they'll squeak in?

You're right, and cleaning to bring on labour sounds infinitely better than sex at the moment I shall do my best to get this baby evicted!

Still here then?

Will this work?

What about.......

This?
