I was looking through the Messenger App on my phone the other day, and I had never before realized that all the conversations I have ever had on Facebook over the last 11 years were saved.
Now, I have not been on Mumsnet much in the last 4 years, I took a break, got busy, and decided to kick the addiction.
However, what I viewed as an addiction 4 years ago when I decided too many hours were spent sitting chatting, in truth provided me with more friendships and support in the years 2007-2011 than I had ever imagined. It probably went back a lot longer, but this is the farthest back my phone had stored FB Messenger conversations. (all deleted now, promise)
So, Thank you all. Thank you Mumsnet, and thank you to a bunch of very special ladies that were part of this community back in 2007 especially. My heart swelled as I was browsing some of the chatlogs, what wonderful women. Wonderful strong women.
I would never had those friendships and the feeling of belonging, if it was not for Mumsnet.
