What would you like to thank a fellow MNetter for?

[Hooli]

I'm sitting in the back garden, enjoying a G&T as the sun goes down. My tonic is lovely and fizzy as I now 'treat' myself to individual tiny cans of tonic water. No flat tonic! It's a revelation!

So thank you, MN poster who's name I can't even remember.

A few years back i posted that it was shit that my employer didn't provide water for free at work (they did I just hasn't found where) and that i couldn't afford 5p for a cup of water, someone pointed out to me (in a very nice way considering it was in AIBU) that if I didn't have 5p for a cup of water then I needed to take a look at my finances. I really did, I was horribly in debt, spiralling in payday loans and totally in denial about it despite earning a very decent salary. I got on the debt board and people were very kind and full of good advice. Fast forward a few years I'm now managing my money properly, have a small amount of interest free debt, have decent savings and no longer stress about money.

To all the lovely mn tribe that helped me stop breastfeeding when it just wasn't working for me ( stupidly shaped nipples and tongue tie baby). You helped me just crack on and enjoy my baby. Also for the many helpful threads about cleaning and cheeky feckers. X

So many tough talking mnetters for telling me to get my shit together and not put up with all the shit stuff going on in my life. If I could have seen where I am now, a year an a half ago.....

Pollyperky for her excellent help and advice on HRT.

Sadly, I think she was hounded off

Love that post, thanks Essentialhummus and the original poster!

kitten and all of the other posters who supported me through Y11, Y12 and Y13. They've supported me when times were tough and celebrated DD's achievements with me. I never feel judged on that thread and I love how we all support each other, regardless of what path our DCs are taking and regardless of whether our DCs are high achievers or lower.

:) It's a lovely set of threads chocolate. I've appreciated the support you and the others have given me too.

Recently on a thread about shite at work.
She simply said "tell yourself, someone is relying on me being here" every day, just tell yourself that.
So true on SO many levels. It helped 1000 %

Don't even know who it was, brilliant mantra.

It really is kitten I also love the fact that everyone is welcoming of new-comers, there is no "clique" mentality

My only complaint is that I can't get used to your posts not being in green

I now buy men's stick deoderant cos it's so much cheaper than the women's ones. Also have uht milk in the cupboard in case of snow!!! (NOW I DO, I didn't before the snow)

I was a bit late in starting the last thread, but it doesn't matter who hosts them.

cozietoesie, who persuaded me to enquire about a certain cat. Saved my sanity.

Can't thank her enough.

@BigChocFrenzy for her tireless efforts on the fasting/5:2 pages. She gives so much brilliant advice, remembers details and is kind and diplomatic. I've never seen her be bitchy or judgmental and she's helped so many, including myself (a lurker!) transform their lives. Thanks!

For advising me that the unpleasantness towards DD in year 7 was indeed bullying and I should ask school to deal with it - which they did, successfully.

To the posters who recently advised another poster to seek immediate medical advice, and probably saved her life.

I went through an incredibly hard time last summer and ended up posting about it.
Everybody helped which was so so crucial in me getting the help I needed, but one particular poster private messaged me every few weeks for a while checking up on me and seeing how my medication was working for me etc....
It may seem like nothing to her but it made my day every time I got a message and it helped me to feel like someone somewhere cares and I have every reason to be here.

The wonderful Clockwork97 who sent me kind messages when I was at my lowest and shared her feelings and experiences so I didn't feel so alone

someone who directed me to the Low Carb High Fat threads...

all the people who pointed out to me that my (now ex) DH was being emotionally abusive. And all the people who told me stories of how they felt when they found the courage to leave.

Also everyone on the hyperemesis support threads who kept me going during a very bleak and lonely pregnancy

Prh47bridge- I joined MN 4 years ago when ds was starting secondary school and we were appealing our first choice.

Ds has ASD and I had tons of medical evidence and a pretty decent appeal to be honest and he was so helpful, emailing at all hours, responding to messages, just generally being lovely.

We failed our appeal ( twice ) and ds is now very happy at a school that I wouldn't have even considered but has fantastic pastoral care. He is excelling and is on track to do very well in his GCSEs.

I will never forget his kindness :)

Someone who posted a link to a list of things abusers say and do. Now far away and much happier.

To the MN'er that sent me a load of skin stuff for my DD's pre teen acne. So kind.

And to all the women on the thread I started when I found out my best friend had betrayed me in the worst possible of ways. That thread was invaluable to me.
