Believe it or not we're soon to be fifteen years of age and we're going to have a bit of a pardee to celebrate. We'd like to invite 15 Mumsnetters to come and celebrate with us.

The event is in central London (near Brick Lane) on Wednesday the 11 March from 6.30 to 9pm, so if you are in the area and would like to stop by, meet some of the team and some other special guests, please post below and we will pick 15 lucky winners out of the hat on Friday the 27 February.

And now for the small print:
Please make sure you are free on the 11th and able to get yourself to central London before posting and you also need to be happy to have you photograph taken and used on the site.

Here are the highlights from our Tenth birthday party

That was a blast. Too much fizzy stuff drunk, but what fun.

I heckled Boris.

I met Harriet Harman. And Gareth Malone, and Tom Watson MP, and Lucy Porter.

ZingNinjaRoll · 12/03/2015 07:32

oh I love Gareth Malone! was he nice?

NormaStanleyFletcher · 12/03/2015 07:44

Gareth was absolutely lovely. His wife too.

FruChristerOla · 12/03/2015 08:42

Sparkling will be sooooo jealous, Norma, she loves Gareth Malone Grin

RebeccaMumsnet · 12/03/2015 08:51

I'm sure it'll be here when the HQ hangovers wear off.

So, not until at least September then.

Great party last night. Thank you for the invite! Was great to meet some of you, and enjoyed the fizz. Grin

That was the first time I've worn heels in over three years. I clearly need more practice, as I've got blisters on the soles of my feet?

It looked like things were starting to get messy when I left. What did I miss??!!

FruChristerOla · 12/03/2015 11:08

Are we going to see any photos from last night?!

ZingNinjaRoll · 12/03/2015 11:32
10000Fireflies · 12/03/2015 11:32

Yeah, where are the photos? Enough were taken last night! Especially want to see some action shots from the dance floor!

PerfectlyImperfect · 12/03/2015 11:45

Here is a picture to keep you going, my still intact mn birthday cake. They had them with the different mn emoticons on.

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 12/03/2015 13:55

It was great. I'm glad I tore myself away early though (still after the advertised ending time!) because this morning was painful

Mumms champers
Lots of gin
Nibbly bits
Screens with MN tributes from famous folk
DJ
Speech from Justine
Speech from Boris complete with excellent heckling Grin
More champagne
Dancing
Chat, chat, chat

I got to meet Justine, Boris, Gareth and his absolutely lovely and gorgeous wife Becky, the chief executive of Arsenal and his lovely and gorgeous wife, and of course the other Fab Fifteen lucky MNer's.

Zombie was tearing up the dance floor with grace and panache Grin

Great great night.

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 12/03/2015 13:57

Oh and lots of MNHQ which was awesome.

Rowan looks like a supermodel. Or a bit like Olivia Munn's better-looking sister.

ZingNinjaRoll · 12/03/2015 14:07

as long as you hugged Z for me Hearts!Grin

sounds like a fab evening same as PFB's first birthday Wink

Heckler · 12/03/2015 14:40

I am quite proud of my heckling. For once I got it right, even the timing, rather than thinking of a funny thing to do about 2 days too late.

RatherBeOnThePiste · 12/03/2015 14:58

Was fabulous Grin

Had such a great night, thank you SO much Justine and everyone, fabulous meeting old friends and new. Thanks

Loved Zombie giving in her written playlist and it was awesome! Boris and Gareth both shorter than me, I feel so tall, that might have been my boots Grin

Hugged so many people! Fortunately resisted singing at Gareth. Thank fuck!

Fabulous to meet so many more HQ types, lovely to put faces to names, you are all so gorgeous. RebeccaMN as always we heart you!

BIWI and I swanned off into the night in our black cab loving that we were out with all the trendy folk up Big London ON A SCHOOL NIGHT Grin

Lotsa gin, I felt that this morning with my 5.30am start.

20th then? Can't wait!

Thanks
BIWI · 12/03/2015 19:23

Good plan to not sing, Pistey

Wincher · 12/03/2015 22:37

It was fab to meet you all! Still blushing slightly about asking Lucy Porter where I knew her from. Drank farrr too much champagne and have regretted it all day... Thanks so much for a great time!

nickelbarapasaurus · 13/03/2015 18:51

probably good i didn't get chosen then - i would have been torn away from Gareth kicking and screaming as I drilled him for hours on advice for our choir! Shock
