To say THANK YOU .....

[HorribleDay]

Dear Mumsnet Members

I am being TOTALLY unreasonable to start a thread about not one, but 2 other threads (both started by me....), and inspired by a thread I read recently about how awful mumsnet is for support how difficult some people find forthright opinions (ahem) that are expressed on MN.

I posted 2 threads recently detailing a fairly torrid time that myself and my family are going through. The support I received was second to none, and it helped me immensely. I am SO GRATEFUL for the kind words, thoughts and offers of practical help.

I just wanted to point out that for many, MN is a wonderful source of support, a space to vent, a place to ask for honest opinions, a place to be told what we sometimes don't want to hear, and a place for banter and a laugh. Thank God for MN in my very humble view.

So, , and more (and for the non drinkers) and to all. A million .

Ive had excellent suggestions, support, empathy and understanding too. And also laughs [grins].

Raises a . And I've had some laughs too.

Yeah I like it here despite some of the scary bits, and I will say what I think and not what others wanna hear (and due to my lack of tact I will offend loads of people) so it appears top notch. The very fact I've spent hours on this site since joining last night is exciting to me since I've been bored stiff the last six months.

Mumsnet can be a place of support but also on the other side a place of absolute bitchiness!! I am also very grateful to all those who have given me such amazing advice and ideas! x

Yip! I have also had lots of support, ideas and encouragement when needed. Also lots of laughs.

You get big hearted people on here, and small minded twits. That is also something that makes MN so addictive.

What we need now is a support group for those of us that spend hours each day on MN, and subvocalise in AIBU post style.......

YY to the support group - I sent a work colleague an email the other day that used 'FIL', 'DH' and 'DS'. Without a second thout. She emailed me back '????? Eh????' ....

Thank you to all the people on the feeding threads and on AIBU for being so supportive to me too.
