Introducing CatherineMumsnet

JustineMumsnet · 18/01/2008 13:27

We're very excited on account of the fact that we've got some new blood round here at Mumsnet Towers in the form of the very lovely CatherineMumsnet. She's here to do general site duty/ editorial bits n bobs and to look after competitions while Olivia goes off to have her baby. (Did we tell you Olivia was preggers - we're very excited about that too?)

Anyway you'll be seeing Catherine around and about - we know you'll be nice and gentle, after all we've all been the the new girl on the block in our time .

(Am just scheduling her in for weekend duty next full moon by way of an initiation).

Will Catherine be like the supply teacher? A tough role at the best of times.

Twiglett · 18/01/2008 13:30

tiredemma · 18/01/2008 13:30

put her in charge of 'buying and selling'. that should break her in gently.

Hello, Catherine.

Best of luck to Olivia too.

ShinyHappyPeopleHoldingHands · 18/01/2008 13:31

I think it's totally fab that you managed to find another person with the Mumsnet Surname! Or has she just "married in.." so to speak

BettySpaghetti · 18/01/2008 13:32

Welcome Catherine

BecauseImWorthIt · 18/01/2008 13:32

Ha ha ha!

Welcome to the mad house - as they say, you don't have to be mad ...

Have you warned her about huns and txtspk?

Congrats to Olivia as well.

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 18/01/2008 13:34

Hello Catherine. Don't be shy, come and say hello!

NAB3wishesfor2008 · 18/01/2008 13:34

Congratulations Olivia!

I saw you in a magazine at Christmas and you looked lovely.

Welcome Catherine.

Hi

Welcome

bogie · 18/01/2008 13:37

hello catherine
Congrats olivia

ShinyHappyPeopleHoldingHands · 18/01/2008 13:39

It WAS Olivia I met at the beginning of the Christmas Meet Up wasn't it? Sorry, I subsequently got so very drunk that the name flew out of my mind...
She was definitely pregnant...

Only I was wondering, did you get your photos developed? Because obviously you've got nothing better to do than email those you took of me and the Shiny possee now that you're going on maternity leave and all... Good luck with the baby

Welcome Catherine!! Talk to us! We don't bite.. often!

marina · 18/01/2008 13:40

Welcome Catherine, hope Olivia has left the Little Black Book by the keyboard for you
Good luck on your mat leave Olivia

BumperliciousIsOneHotMother · 18/01/2008 13:40

I think I should work for you the amount of time I spend on here, then I can get paid to mnet!

Gizza job!

JustineMumsnet · 18/01/2008 13:41

She'll be here soon. She's just plucking up the courage to post.
