Without her none of us would be on here chatting, supporting, arguing and setting the world to rights.

In the 2017 honours list she is appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) for services to the economy.

Oh, and a founder of Mumsnet, too.

Yes indeed, congratulations. Both Mumsnet and Gransnet are a huge source of support and lift many out of isolation. Well deserved!

merlotgran Sat 31-Dec-16 19:40:36

I don't get the economy bit either but didn't like to say in case I appeared thick to have missed the point.

rubysong Sat 31-Dec-16 20:01:24

Well done Justine. Thank you for Gransnet.

glammanana Sat 31-Dec-16 20:03:55

Congratulations to Justine,maybe the "Economy" means the amount of funds made by Companies selling advertising that runs along side our discussions that is all I could think off at the minute.

TriciaF Sat 31-Dec-16 20:39:23

Congratulations from me too - Well done!

merlotgran Sat 31-Dec-16 21:11:17

They're wasting their money then. All we do is moan about them. grin

Is anyone else still racking their brains about this? (the economy thing)

I wish someone could explain.

(I'm not saying she doesn't deserve it. That's not my point at all. Just - how has Mumsnet helped the economy.

Pleeease. It's driving me mad.

bellsisabelle Tue 03-Jan-17 15:13:15

There must be someone clever out there.

Or perhaps even Justine??? smile
