So, MNHQ, bedecked in LKBennett (and Boden for the plebs) are all out stuffing pizza and Bolly, half of the posters and hangers-on are there too: what mischief shall we get up to while they're away?

Because I bet they've just left BigTech in charge. Or he/she'll be checking in every once in a while, a bit pished and lairy.

So we can DO. WHAT. WE. LIKE. while the Leaders party.

Why does Justine keep scratching her head during her speech - does she have nits?

Yes I thought that she perhaps had nits

she is a mummy n all

she does it when nervous

she did it at that social meedja conference last week

not that I view her speeches obsessively or anything

MP, hot tub with swans head champagne flute holders is what you meant isn't it?

lol @ MP stalking watching Justine. I did wonder, decided it was nerves.

and many congrats sophable. What good news!

nah I reckon neon inflatable drinks holders with those light-up ice cubes

that is my kind of Dream Planning, never mind your kitchen units

Needs a nitty gritty comb. That'll cure the "nervousness".

We have got Sarah's speech somewhere - it was v good.

Oh, can someone tell me if I've said anything interesting in the "babies" book? I have no reason to ever buy a copy and need to know.

it's true check her out here

Sarah's speech is up there. either that or I imagined watching it...

The party looked fab and despite all the leg pulling from all of us who were not there - everyone who was there clearly deserved the limelight.

Creating something like MN from scratch is a pretty amazing achievement. Congratulations to everyone and especially Justine and Carrie of course.

Sophable - Wow! Many congratulations on conceiving a new kitchen and a new baby all at the same time.

Olivia, thanks very much for the Egyptian football team at the hotel. It was a lovely touch. I popped a couple into my goody bag to save them for later.

You're welcome anguis
All part of the MN service -along with the beautiful day on Tuesday too, of course.

If my wedges aren't shown in closeup there'll be trouble.

The chocolate in the goodie bags was VEYR NICE olivia

It's quite fun channeling Les Dawson. Can you tell I have a terrifying deadline?

Am trying to download the video of Justine and it is taking AGES so I have muted it and everytime I check to see if it is finished is is stuck and she is pulling a funny face. Also she is making my laptop overheat. Was she being very smutty or something?

Tallest, can you believe that 10 years ago, Mn would have a party that Pm wanted to go to.
Er no. Thats becasue Mn sold us out and now the Pm thinks Mn is a good source of votes. Didn't you realise this ?

LOL at Egyptian football team. How marvellous.

MNHQ
Can we have this thread moved to Classics?

Have sore eyes from peering at the pics. But you do all look smashing.

The Google pen in the goody-bag was amazing too. Unfortunately it has been snaffled by DD2 who didn't get to go to the party and quaff Moet all night long.

And your point is, Oblomov?

Hello. If you're having trouble downloading the speeches, you can watch them here instead.
