Offline earlier this evening

Mumsnet was offline for several hours earlier this evening. This was due to a hardware fault on one of the several servers used to run the site. Thanks for the various emails of moral support, offers of virtual biscuits and the amusing conspiracy theories.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

Twitter was full last night with MN refugees wandering aimlessly in search of a warm blanket and a good AIBU.

nannynick · 16/02/2010 06:39

At least normal service has resumed and with luck no posts have been lost.
Welcome back Mumsnet. You were missed last night.

Quintessential12belowZero · 16/02/2010 07:12

I have to thank the ladies of the BadMothers Club. They kindly took me in for the evening and were lovely.

Cyb · 16/02/2010 08:18

I even joined Twitter in desperation

MmeLindt · 16/02/2010 08:19

Mastitus is horrible. I remember sitting in bed with a bag of frozen peas on my norks crying and crying. Hope it eases soon.

TrinityIsFallingApart · 16/02/2010 08:20

It is pretty horrid
I cant move without agony
and I've spent all night freezing or too hot

MmmSex · 16/02/2010 08:20

I didn't post. I couldn't. I was too busy shoving my fist in my mouth and trying not to swear. They don't like it.

DorotheaPlenticlew · 16/02/2010 08:34

Why make your evening even worse?!

OhYouBadBadKitten · 16/02/2010 08:36
