Mumsnet is soon to be 15 (!) - wanna come celebrate with us?

[JustineMumsnet]

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

Ooh, me me me!!!!

oh,if this is going to be a completely random names in hat, can i take this opportunity to ask for someone to look after me, because i'm socially awkward and will spend the evening saying completely the wrong thing and blurting if no one reins me in
thanks

Should I be lucky enough to be chosen, nickel, I will look after you

And one other thing I should also have said, is to wish MNHQ Happy Birthday.

It's no mean feat surviving for this long.

thanks Biwi - at least you've met me before and know what a tosser i can be

oh, i wish MNHQ a happy birthday too

Talking of presents - I promised a box of goodies for the pressie cupboard when I closed the shop and I still haven't got round to sorting one out, so I can come bearing gifts

I'd love to come - down for the music education conference the next day!

Hmm.

15 is an odd number. Are there 15 districts of MN? Is this going to be a hunger games style party where the guests have to rush to the buffet to pick their choice weapons from cheese and pineapple throwing sticks or deadly lemon drizzle cake?

If so, I'm in...

Please put my name in the hat. That's a lovely hat!

Hi all,

You have until midday today to enter and then we will be pulling all the names into a hat to be drawn this arvo.

Good luck all

Can I just say that I wasn't putting my name into the hat when I posted - I can't make it!

Any news on a star emoticon?
Sorry to be going on about it but I don't know how else to get your attention, there have been many threads begging asking for one, with Woolly Huggers in mind, but there's been nothing done about it.
They are doing an amazing job and would be absolutely delighted to be able to use little gold stars!
please, please would you be so kind as to ask tech to create a once and for all?

(besides Gransnet has a star, it should be a pride thing too! )

LOLOL - I shoehorn that into any thread asking about new emoticons :o

Never works...

Can I go in the hat too, please? Well, my name at least...

I know Soup
you did it to me once - and that's how I learnt about Woolly Hugs!

I'm free and available on that date!

Just in the nick of time Kitten3
This thread is now CLOSED we will post the winners later on today.

Eeeeeeeeeek, I'm a little bit scared!

What to wear, what to wear?

How exciting

Let's be scared together.

You need a gorgeous dress!! So do I!!

A dress!! Are you sure....

I'll join in with the being scared (and excited) , will be nice to meet everyone, and I recognise some friendly faces that are coming so we can be nervous together
