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

Sorry

Yep - I reckon tech have decided on a full English before starting work.

Srill here. Looks like Tech had a lie in.

Or maybe it's taking longer to load the booze cruise coach than they thought. There's always one that has to go to the loo before they leave.

Hello?

Ooh welcome back...:)

Hi

Hurrah!

Yay! Just a few minutes before DS2 wakes up too. Goody.

'Active' seems to have been denuded though. I wonder how long until it refills? I'll have to look at some topics for a while instead!

But to all the techies.

back five minute early.

I am going to be rampaging through the boards as I had fucking withdrawal symptoms and I got tired of not fucking swearing.

ahh that is better.

Well. I'm sure I spent far too much time today reading about penis beakers. Am tempted to shout at dh next time we dtd "im feeling fruity tonight, FILL UP THE PENIS BEAKER!" just to see what his reaction is unquestionably oblige I'm sure
After all my time lurking on mn I am amazed.

Welcome back, MN!

And thank you for the weetabix thread - photos, ShowOfHands the weetabix whisperer, and a genuine weetabix scientist - how, how I ask you, did I miss this last year?

Note to self - must do better!

Phew! It's been like a power cut.

Hooray, mn is back!! And it looks the same

I loved the thread with all the weepy lines from fave books.

I had tears rolling down my face when DP walked in and wondered what was up! "Just MN my dear, just MN" I said

Thanks for getting the site back on time MNHQ x

I would just like to say that the GNers are lovely, kind and welcoming. I was only there briefly this morning, but it was great to have another, affiliated, site to go to.

BTW - GNet has some great smilies that we don't have - they're really pretty

Thank you GNet

whtaq the heck is happening. first it will not let me post and then the damn thing will not load.

this is not what is supposed to happen with a whizzy new system...

sorry about the typos... trying to post in a hurry while I still can.

I survived the MNblackout of 2014.

Good to be back, I have done all my housework and interacted with the DC, even DH ( who I didn't tell MN was down) is impressed at my work today.

Look at the GNers lovely smileys.

Sorry, Tech, I know you've been busy, but can't we have these .... please or
