Hello! I received my gift today and I absolutely love it. Am I allowed to say what it is?
Im going to.
It was a gift voucher for Marks and Spencers. This is a GOOD gift voucher, this is a shop I only shop in if Im told (i.e my mums coming down, she wants X Y Z and heres her card) I flipping love M&S stuff but cant even afford to entertain shopping there myself. I will be getting something for myself, again something I never do!
Im not sure how much information we are expected to, or allowed to put on here but I really, really want to say how grateful I am for being nominated and for the person who sent me the gift.
Its been a really, really tough couple of years, its still tough and despite a 3 day respite recently which always lulls me into a false sense of security, its all got difficult again. Health wise for my family, and generally just really long run of bad luck.
Ive been on my knees more than once, and turned to mumsnet when Id reached breaking point and was no longer coping with it all. I cannot put into words how much mumsnet have helped me. The support the guidance, the empathy and whats more the total and utter lack of judgement.
When I got told I was nominated, I burst into tears. It was the first time something nice had happened 'just because' for years. It was a gesture that meant something really, really huge. I actually cant express what an uplift it gave me.
I cannot wait to use my gift.
Thank you to the person who nominated me and thank you to the person who sent the gift.
And lo betide the next person who slates mumsnet and its posters.
I know kisses arent the done thing, but I dont care 
Xxxx
