Hello there!

We would like to cordially invite you all to join us this coming Sunday, June 18, for a Great Get Together - in memory of the late Jo Cox MP, and in support of her family's organisation, More In Common, which aims to get us all to celebrate the things that unite us.

So whether you're reasonable or unreasonable, whether you have or have not Googled penguin bollards, and whether or not you think the OP should have cashed the cheque, we'd love to see you all here on Sunday around midday.

There will be PRIZES, chatting and amusing gifs (courtesy of AliceDMumsnet's 'solid gold gifs' folder). Please bring your best children's jokes, pictures of any kittens who have recently adopted you, and heartwarming stories of love and friendship across the divide (Netmums).

BYO booze. Folk dancing will not be tolerated in the shallow end.

(If you'd rather go to an event near you and meet other people face-to-face, check out the Great Get Together's listings of thousands of events across the UK here.)

Love
MNHQ

You lot are still going! I'm going to call the council noise team and start a thread on AIBU about your noisy party.

MORNING!

Just popping back to say: the winner of the UK boogie song is AutumnalLeaves for the marvellous Lulu choice.

We'll DM the winners now to get your addresses.

Hope none of you have to do anything important today...

Love
MNHQ

Hmmm....it might well be washable but it has taken some scrubbing to remove all traces....I might have overdone it with said scrubbing though ShockBlushGrin
