We ask because obviously we know the harsh reality but we're looking to reveal all put a pic on our Twitter page. So, we'd love to hear your ideas on what you want to see at Mumsnet Towers.
The Shed?
Justine's untidy desk corner office?
Our Studio60 style countdown clock to the full moon?
MNHQ's feral children creche?
TIA as ever

Well it's a tower obviously.

The Shed

TrillianAstra · 05/06/2009 14:24

A bit like air traffic control towers...

Definitely 'code red' for a thread kicking off. Someone spying on Netmums, babycentre, etc in the corner looking shifty.

Everyone has multiple computer screen on the go, whoever is in charge at the time has a bluetooth headset in their ear too making them look like a Borg.

i have a more hi-tech futuristic vision

Flamesparrow · 05/06/2009 14:27

Its like Malory Towers.

There are various offices in each tower. (Hence sending OTW emails rather than yelling across the room like civilised folk). Creche is probably in the middle of the grounds somewhere (plenty of time in the gardens etc - but far away from the pool)

Shed is more of a groundskeeper's cottage, but in need of lots of repairs.

Flame, that is how I see it too

SOLOisMeredithGrey · 05/06/2009 14:32

Lots of opaque glass glass...that's what always comes to mind when I think of it .

It's a squallid bedsit in Ladbroke Grove. A cot in one corner, a child-bed in the other, a huge horsehair mattress in the middle. A Stokke highchair where sits a baby doing its own baby-led weaning. Justine is on the computer at the table wearing White Stuff dress and Fly wedges, composing AIBU to let my 2 year old do the ironing.

High tower (obv) with lots of rooms. HUge screens in every one with buttons down the side, one for calm one for all kicking off.

Desks heaped with Boden clothes, crocs and bottom butter.

Tech in the turret with spiders round the eves

spicemonster · 05/06/2009 14:49

It's Malory Towers in my head. But knowing in reality that it's in Tufnell Park, I reckon you're above the Boston Arms and pop downstairs regularly for a quick game of pool and a go on the one armed bandit in your tea breaks

Buda · 05/06/2009 14:50

Blast! will try again.

I give up. The Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom.

BCNS · 05/06/2009 14:53

this but with bunting, cupcakes and LDC and wooden play things in the creche area.

mostly just imaging you lot at a rather large oldie worldy kitchen table.. and a huge country kitchen.. that opens out onto a neat but child friendly garden

BCNS · 05/06/2009 14:54

oh and it never rains where you are either

Flamesparrow · 05/06/2009 14:56

scottishmummy · 05/06/2009 15:08

i see a palatial open plan studio with yoga suite/etheral music, waft of patchouli oil

the Saag Aloo Guru dispensing wise words and head massage

group hugs and reflective supervision

a veneer of calm and transcultural harmony to concel the fact that it is a nest of vipers and you all hate each other.and get arsey if someone uses your desk/your cup

the creche like all nurseries on MN threads is run by reprobates and shortly someone will rock up claiming to have worked in MNHQ creche.shouting they beat dem children dont cha know

ABetaDad · 05/06/2009 15:09

I want to see the seamier side of MN Tower.

The fag ash, the overflowing nappy bin, discarded gin bottles and the 1994 Chippedales calender pinned on the back of the door. Oh and the wires hanging out the back of the overloaded MN server hidden under a pile of empty pizza boxes with a desk fan blowing over to keep it cool.

whomovedmychocolate · 05/06/2009 15:22

Well I might not know what it looks like but I just found Justine's mobile number online so I could probably locate her and narrow it down from there....but that would be funny creepy!
