I've been on MN for just under 18 months now (albeit with a few name changes along the way) and I just want to say a big 'Thanks' to Mumsnet.
I live in an area which I moved to as an adult, so therefore I didn't have any friends locally in the early days. Soon after moving here I became preg with DD and left work, most of the friends from there faded fast once I'd left.
I'm sure most of you will agree that it can be tough making new friends without feeling like a stalker . Especially if you are a SAHM. I've made a few good friends through DH and I wouldn't be without them, but it's not quite the same.
MN introduced me to 2 lovely MN'ers - GeorginaA & Ailsa, and since then I'd like to think that we've become firm friends (back me up here guys !!). I'd like to think that both Ailsa & Georgina would feel like they could turn to me for help etc as well as a laugh and a bit of light relief (ooo-er!).
So at the risk of sounding gushy , I'd like to say one more big 'THANK YOU' to MN for my lovely new friends
