MP - I too think you are ACE! Genius!

Until now I've only been lurking on threads concerning this subject and, to be fair, have been very busy ebaying a potty training book amongst other things. But this has made me laugh even in the midst of a migraine, so just felt the need to express my love for you too mp.

I JUST WANT TO CONFIRM FOR ANYONE OUT THERE STILL READING, THAT THE DEMO WAS PULLED DUE TO LACK OF AVAILABLITLY - NOT LACK OF INTEREST.

SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE SUPPORTED US, BUT DUE TO THE TIGHT TIMING INVOLVED, AND WE ARE MOTHERS WITH BABIES, IT WASNT POSSIBLE.

PLEASE DO NOT LOSE HEART OR FOCUS - TOGETHER WITH THE CORRECT PLANNING, WE CAN DO THIS XXX

Thanks for trying

JoshuaandChloesmummy · 09/08/2006 18:02

Well ive let people know about it on Bounty, but with no joy as yet. To be honest with you, there are not many people about on Bounty at the moment. I will keep pestering people.

fairyjay · 09/08/2006 18:00

Are any of your Bounty crowd able to support the MN Demo tomorrow JandCM? I think we need to try and up the numbers!

JoshuaandChloesmummy · 09/08/2006 17:57

MP- you have lots of fans in the debates section over at Bounty.co.uk.

We all love your apology :D :D :D

WatTylermoonfiend · 09/08/2006 17:40

MP, I have laughed, my dh has laughed, my mum has laughed, complete 'strangers' at work (who know about my MN habit) have been rolling on the floor laughing at your apology.
