Today it my special day I went to dreamland today to see my all time hero is Mr Tumble!!!! He been my hero since I was little boy I watched his first episode when it on tv was episode Pets and I learnt to sign with him as part of my communication difficulties as I am deaf and has autism and my communication wasn’t good I was struggling to communicate and now I can communicate using sign language but I can lipread an bit but I felt much happier using sign language and I now has an iPad which has helped me to communicate. I was very lucky as I watched his show twice!!!!! This morning and the afternoon show!!!!
He quickly rescogiced me in my costume!!!!! We met last year and we met this year yay!!!!! This year at dreamland show it even more better!!!!! It got 2 BSL interpreters in!!!!! Yay!!!!! It made my day even more fun!!!! Because of my way of communication using sign language BSL and Makaton I now support my group for children with Downs Syndrome most of them loved Mr Tumble and met him last year they liked me I sign to them and they liked me! Not just me who met Justin but my mummy and my granny we FaceTimed so we could see Justin my mummy said to him that I am huge fan of him and thanked him to showing children and adults the sign language for the mainstream also that day today he was very kind and he kept has his eye on me when we signed the Hello song we signed I sign to him and he watched me signing!!!! He waved to me and my little friend and she was very happy to see him and she waved to him with me!

Here is the photos of me with Justin also me waiting for him to come on the stage and other one was last year first meeting!

This year I got him an thank you card on his front card it got stars on and words thank you in rainbow colours as he loved twinkle twinkle and I can sing an rainbow song! Inside the card I draw the picture of Mr Tumble also his spotty bag and the Tumble tap and he loved it!!!!! That made my day so special!!!!

Wilf, your joy and excitement are bubbling through in every word - you may have had communication issues when you were young but boy can you tell your story now.

Glad you had such fun.

KnittingSister · 14/08/2018 08:57

Your outfit is fabulous Wilf. It's good to hear you had a great day!

Welcome to mumsnet rainbow

Janni01 · 14/08/2018 21:14

Afraid @rainbow that's not how it works Grin

Phosphorus · 14/08/2018 21:17

Are we to assume that 'Wilf' is quite the name changer now? Hmm

Saucery · 14/08/2018 21:22

What on Earth is going on? L&J threads have never been like this, with W posting under two different names.

MarthasGinYard · 14/08/2018 21:22

Thank you Wilf

We are so lucky to have him. Don't know a great deal about his past other than found in a real state. He had to be almost completely shaved. His fur is growing back beautifully though as you can see. The rescue centre had him for three months until they could re home him as he needed lots of veterinary care tooSad

He sends huge Giddy hugs to The beautiful 'Feline Christmas' Patch Smile

idonthaveatattoo · 14/08/2018 21:23

Hmm.

Janni01 · 14/08/2018 21:24

Wilf are you @rainbowbaby996

RainbowBaby996 · 14/08/2018 21:27

It me Wilf yes but I has to change my new name because of arguement on other threads

Janni01 · 14/08/2018 21:30

Ah ok @wilf, I think it's because many people are concerned that you've shared lots of information that could be used by bad people. Maybe talk to @MNHQ about it and see if they could help you and make sure that you don't out yourself st risk

RainbowBaby996 · 14/08/2018 21:31

Of course also my mum need some of help aswell too

Janni01 · 14/08/2018 21:32

Ok @wilf. Maybe talk to your support worker if you've one? And talk to @MNHQ as well, give them an email and they will be able to help you

SophieLMumsnet · 14/08/2018 21:50

Hello everyone,

For the avoidance of doubt this is Wilf, who is long-term MNer Lottie’s son. We’ll keep an eye on the thread but Wilf, while we love to see your photos, please do be careful about what information you give out on the internet about yourself and let us know if you want us to delete anything for you. Flowers

SecretWitch · 14/08/2018 21:55

Wilf, it’s always a pleasure to read about your adventures! ❤️

RainbowBaby996 · 14/08/2018 21:57

Ok of course if I has any troubles I will come to you Sophie so you are my hero

Pommes · 14/08/2018 22:52

It sounds like you had a great day, Wilf. I really love Dreamland too.

Some other Mumsnetters are worried that you are posting too much information about yourself on Mumsnet. Do you know why they might be worried Wilf? Do you know what the risks are of posting too much information about yourself on the internet?

RainbowBaby996 · 14/08/2018 23:26

Yes or the bad people would find out more information about me and it not good

AllAboutTheStuff · 15/08/2018 01:17

Well Wilf has never had other sites post threads about him, well not that he knows anyway.

Unfortunately Wilf name changing in the middle of your post won’t help because people will have already seen your posts under your last name

It looks like you had a really good time meeting Justin. My son has asd and taught himself lots of sign language watching mr tumble. We couldn’t keep up with him! I hope you are ok and maybe do another name change before you post about your adventures on mn again xx

Pommes · 15/08/2018 03:20

Thanks for your reply. That's right.

Could you give me some examples of the things that bad people could do with information that you post online, Wilf?

RainbowBaby996 · 15/08/2018 08:23

They would share the information about me or they would find out more about me and they could copy the information and share to other people

Pommes · 15/08/2018 09:14

Thanks again for your reply Wilf.

Most people on the internet are good, like you, but sadly the bad people do exist.

There have been cases of people stealing people's photographs from the internet and setting up Facebook accounts in their names - essentially stealing their identity.

There have been other situations where bad people pretend to make friends with good people on the internet, and then steal their money or take advantage of them.

While the internet is a great place to share happy things (and your threads are always lovely to read Wilf) we all need to be careful about how much we post about ourselves. Particularly on a forum like Mumsnet which can be read by anyone at all. Facebook can be different, if you make your profile one that only your friends and family can see.

You'll notice that not many Mumsnet users reveal their real names, or post photographs of themselves, or details about where they live. We do this to protect ourselves from the small number or bad people. It might be worth considering doing this Wilf.

idonthaveatattoo · 15/08/2018 09:34

Pommes, all right, I don’t think he needs a public lesson tbh. I do agree with what you’re getting at but the way you’re doing it is a bit - off, really. Sorry.
