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!

To AnyFucker, she's always there with solid, funny advice.
Don't seem to have flowers on phone, so will have to be a instead!

ApocalypseCheeseToastie for being there for me

Flamesparrow, BALD, and others who helped me one evening a couple of years ago after my friend died. Never forgot it.
And the lovely berolina who doesn't post any more (or maybe yes?) and who helped me with my funeral speech when I was struggling.

to those who've taken the trouble to post that my wittering at them/listening to them has made a difference when they were struggling

I'm sitting here sobbing, because when I worked through my own hell of complex PTSD, traumatic birth and child abuse issues I asked God to promise me that it would not all be for nothing. And it seems it hasn't been...

and for ApocalypseCheeseToastie for always having some wonderful gadget up her sleeve and making my Christmas shopping easy

Valhalla for all her wonderful doggy wisdom

DooinMeCleanin for her great advice and really funny stories - and for making me feel my terrier isn't quite so difficult!

julienoshoes because she gives wonderful advice in home ed again and again, and never tires of helping people, no matter how often she is asked the same thing.

Marjoriew because it always brightens my day to see her on a thread. :)

2shoes, because she's very lovely and has given me some great advice recently.

2shoes you are an utter star

I would like to give a to truthsweet for giving my loads of support when I was trying to get bf going with my DS.

also to AuldAlliance for giving me a load baby clothes and a pump which really helped me out.

Last but not least, to the Nov 2010 posse for the laughs, support and good advice :)

I did this once but thought of more

FlamingRedHead and MrsDV who are always there with kind words and support despite the fact that I am amazed how they get up each morning after what they have coped with. I think you two are bloody amazing.

i would like to give a big bunch to the mumsmetters who send me some gifts from the secret santa so very kind :)

Another thanks to tiktok for being lovely in the face of my hormonal sleep deprived madness. Many moons ago, and when I was in a previous incarnation, but kept me going.

Tethers has to get one, for maybe slightly less important, but greatly appreciated help on a shoe search.

'Shopping for carbs with Claire' definitely deserves a

To all the posters on the love bus to Crealy thread and it's subsequent offpring. The book titles had me laughing for weeks and as for "shopping for carbs with Claire".......pmsl ever time I remember it.

A HUGE THANK YOU
to Carrots and celery who heard
my plea about weaning myself
off nicotine tablets and
(following a PM) posted me
the most delicious Scottish
sweets to suck.

Thank you IvySedai. I am very touched.

Thank you for the Mouseface. The reason that thread was so successful was because you've helped so many, they all jumped on the chance to show their appreciation
Yay for your prize!

to dittany for having unleashed the dorment feminist in me!

I would like to give to missdisorganised for getting through the past year and more and wish her all the luck in Uni.

I'd like to thank mumsnet for this [thank] !

glotheblo, izzywizzyletsgetbusy, JenniferYellowHatsRedLingerie, madhattershouse, perfumedlife, PisteysInManhatten, PoppyDoolally and snippywoo2 for getting me through a really tough night before my operation and giving me tips on how to get some sleep.

Awww aStarinStrangeways - absolute pleasure xx

I want to send a to all the fantastic women who post on the feminist board, who have reawakened my long dormant feminist activism, made me realise that I can still make a difference and have given me hope for the future :)

to everyone who was on the Fit, Interesting and Available threads, even though they are no longer running.

to everyone on the Feminism section, I have learnt so much, even though mostly I just lurk. I am learning to embrace who I am. A special mention to Dittany

To SGB for her insistence that you don't have to be in a relationship. It makes me feel less of a freak for loving being single

To Mumsnet, to everyone on here, for the laughter and the tears. The love and support I see on here renews my faith in humanity on a regular basis. Without you the last 5 years would have been a lot harder and really quite lonely at times.

I would like to helenagrace who scooped me up off a self-indulgent thread I posted, took me out for coffee, and probably has no idea how much she inspired me to get a grip.
