End of an era - MP hanging up her... erm... keyboard

[JustineMumsnet]

It is with deep sadness that we must inform you that Morningpaper has, after four glorious years, decided to retire her mouse and cease to produce the Talk round up. Apparently she has a "proper job with benefits". This Friday's round-up will be her last (so do make sure you're preferences are set to receive it.)

Thankfully we have been rescued from the slough of despond into which we at MN Towers had tumbled by the news that none other than Aitch, who currently scribbles the TV round up for our parenting newsletter, has agreed to step into the breach. We're delighted that's she's cheap available and ready to pick up where MP will very soon be leaving off. So more bumsex then.

I used to get them tortoise, but they don't go into my junk mail, so I don't know why I don't get them...never mind.
Shame! I used to really belly laugh...will miss your musings MP.

I stopped getting them too! it was a while back - I assumed they had stopped being sent.

I've also checked my settings and it says I should received them?

You are leaving! I will miss your roundups and my husband will especially.

Aitch, am looking forward to yours. Might take a bit longer for my husband to come around, he's fiercely loyal, but I'm sure you'll win him over.

Mine haven't been arriving either for about a year, but I cannot go to work on a Friday (I work in the afternoon) if I haven't found Roundup in the little box!)

Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou MP for brightening my Fridays! (and for mentioning me twice! )

Hurrah for Aitch!

Yay! To Aitch!

I look forward to seeing your roundups!

Good Look in your new role, MP!

Anyone's husband is welcome to contact me for private roundups

You can have mine, absolutely no problem, I'll have him DHL'd over tout-de-suite

Good luck MP - I have really enjoyed your round-ups! You are hilarious, and really talented x

Awww bye bye MP, good luck with the job. Your round ups always brighten my Fridays ( I get quite narky when you DARE to go on holiday!)

I was thrilled beyond measure when I got mentioned one Christmas....new computer now and all my saved emails disappeared but I did feature once I DID!!

I only clicked on this as I was mildly curious as to which MP had resigned - imagine my surprise and distress!
Erm so long and thanks for all the fish - can't wait for the delights of Aitches' RU.

Thanks for the weekly giggles MP...somehow I always manage to miss the funniest threads until the roundup so am v dependent on it! Good luck with the new job and enjoy the bens

Hurrah for Aitch picking up the mantle...

Ah, so she's out on parole, with electronic tag? I assume this is what she meant by "benefits"?

Well done aitch. You are fabulously witty and clever, so you'll do a sterling job.

Congrats on the proper job MP (what are the benefits???)

Aitch sure you'll be grand

Best of luck MP. It's all your falut that I am on MN in the first place as I joined after reading an article you wrote on the SWMNBN business.
And best of luck Aitch.

Congratulations MP on the real job and Aitch on the new role.

littlelapin, nice to see your name again!

Good luck in your new job, MP, hope you enjoy it You've done a great job with the roundup.

And good luck with the roundup and thanks for taking it on, Aitch - I enjoy reading through it and catching up!

Thanks for all your briliant summations in the roundup Morningpaper - enjoy your job with benefits instead...

I should say that the only real benefits are that I'm allowed out of the house to talk to ACTUAL GROWN UPS and sometimes even grown-ups who are not women!!!

Justine is just jealous
