Come and celebrate our new [thanks] emoticon by saying Thank You to a Mumsnetter who's made a difference. Spot prizes to be won and all!

i would like to thank everyone who has ever replied to a thread i had started, and to the lovely people on the sn board for when i needed advise, i love mumsnet so a big thankyou

Can I also please thank Lisad123 for sharing her experiences with me on a beta-blocker thread I started this weekend.

Here you are Lisa

I'd like to thank all the S and B gals for laughs, links, and love

Also special mention to my good pal coddy for that ointment she lent me for ...well lets just say it's cleared up now

Another to Tiktok for all her level headed advice on breastfeeding.

A slightly random to Shoutyhamster for some good advice on a thread I had deleted (and for having a brilliant name that makes me :))

And to Chaos for services to spelling. Still sniggering at Norman rules apply several weeks on :o

OMG I thought it was a London 2010 emotion! It is not dissimilar.

Any hoo, thanks to flowery and ribena over on employment issues who really, really helped me out when I had a proper cunting situation with work. I was under another name then but haven't forgotten. Their advice helped me come to terms with what was happening and have the courage to fight back, leave, get a feck off settlement and change career. Pretty awsome stuff.

I'd like to thank AttilaTheMeerkat (although she may have changed names now!) for bringing me to the realisation that I have a narcisstic mother, after years of wondering what I was doing/saying wrong! This was on a thread a while ago now but I will always remember her for this. Her words of support and explanation really helped me and for that I will always be greatful.

Attila, thank you

to peachy

Cod. She is so so so gorgeous in rl and was so kind to justine at qt

To all the posters on the SN:children board. I cant name one in particular and to name the ones that come to mind would probably leave out someone important!

My DS ASD assessment and DX is what brought me here initially and reading others stories makes me feel less of a pariah also that its not just me who lets housework slide

Lots of great advice and comradery [sp?] that really helps.

and to everyone else for making me laugh and cry elsewhere on the boards!

AW !! Thanks for the .

AND..........................

Well just that really.

To the wonderful Custy who not only gave and still gives me honest positive advice on how to deal with my troublesome teen (even if its not what I want to hear) - but takes the time here and on fb to check how things are .......I heart Custy .

I'd like to give to Tiktok who helped me continue bf'ing dd1 til I was ready to give up. That was nearly 3 yrs ago, under a different name. Now I have dc2 - feeding is a dream - reminded me of all her patience and knowledge.

I'll second Gwendoline with to Flowery. Actually the flowers made me think of her!

to the Aug08ers for being such fabulous friends, and massive to ChristinedePizan for ensuring that my DS is the best-dressed boy in town :)

to flowery for giving out some top notch advice, to me and the many posters I've seen calling for her over the years. So patient and informative considering it's what she does for a living and could presumably be earning a bit more money for the free advice she gives! :)

to GetOrf who is one of the most consistently funny and interesting posters - even her mistakes make me larf .

There are so many MNers who deserve thanks but if I'm only allowed one then I'd like to say a big thanks to TikTok for all the time and effort she puts in on the BF forum. Her patience and understanding are inspiring and seemingly limitless, I have no idea how she does it

I'd also like to thank TruthSweet for her tandem feeding tips, she was ever so helpful when DD2 was born

I only know how to spell this because lovely Val has posted above I'd like to thank Valpollicella for giving me the encouragement to write. In the summer last year I was very unwell and I was in a job that I really hated. I gave it up to write children's books and I'm very happy. If I hadn't have had Val's encouragement then I wouldn't have got as far as I have. I can't thank her enough. (wipes away the tears)

[naff]

obv

AH this is nice

I'd like to iwillonlyeatbeans for sharing with me all the advice her sleep consultant passed onto her, enabling me to get my DS into his own bed at 7pm and getting a bit of time back to myself and DH. We were severely struggling before she came along - and to top it off when I asked if I could send her a present or make a donation to the charity of her choice she refused and said a thank you was enough! WHat a lovely lovely women.

I would also (greedy!) like to offer to Shabba, Travelling, Dee and all the ladies on the bereavmenet board for always being such strong, inspirational ladies. I dont use the board anymore, but I will never forget their advice and kindness.

My go to the Aug08 girls who have kept me sane for the last 3 years :)

GO, please may I nosey at this point, if appropriate, as to your home situation.

to tee.

Erm, also please could you review the flowers? No true MNer would be seen with blue flowers.
