I'm not sure where to post this, but I wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who sent messages to me when I was unwell. I was so touched at the kindness of mumsnetters. Thank you.

Thank you especially to DumbledoresGirl who co-ordinated flowers etc and kept you updated with news.

I'm sure you will want to know what happened so I will give the basic outline: In layman's terms, I had a nervous breakdown in July and spent two months in hospital and a further month living with a friend before coming home last weekend. I am still not fully well, but I am in recovery now.

Thank you once again for your support.

I would like to change my mn name. Any suggestions?

Naswm, I did think about this earlier. I was going to try out PhoenixRising and see if it was available but then I realised if I did this, I would be taking the name for myself, so I didn't check it out.

I don't quite understand how the name thing works but it might be a name that someone used years ago and they have now de-registered. I am going to contact MN for you to see what the situation is.

Which name should I check though? Phoenix, PhoenixRising or Perdita?

DumbledoresGirl · 13/10/2007 17:30

Naswm, I have emailed MN for you asking them to check out all three names and see if you can't have one of them.

As MellowMa says, don't be If these names are all taken, we will not stop until we have chosen you one you like even more!

How about PhoenixFromTheAshes? Not as catchy I fear...

naswm · 13/10/2007 17:55

How about this - I cannot claim to have come up with it myself, but I like it - what do others think?

I need to go for a while now - my dm has just turned up 4 hours than expected. Apparently the boat party she was going on this evening has broken down!

new name wahey

BandofMutantMonsters · 15/10/2007 16:59

GREAT NAME PS!!!!!!!! Yaaaaay

PhoenixSoaring · 15/10/2007 17:56

glad you all like it.

I am not really feeling like that atm. I am feeling more like naswm. DS2 is unwell. Got call from school as raging temp. Chest/ear infection. But he wont take his meds. It's ironic really that the final straw that pushed me to leave my family 3 months ago was DS2 being ill, and in my first week back home DS2 is ill.

Right now I want to run as far away from here as possible

DumbledoresGirl · 15/10/2007 18:28

But you are not going to, are you? That is the difference between then and now. I can be about for you from about 8 till 9 tonight PS if you want to chat.

Ha ha! Did you realise your new initials were PS?

PhoenixSoaring · 15/10/2007 18:45

Thanks DG - that is v kind. ATM I all I can think about is getting out of here as soon as I can. But if I am around then I would love to chat to you later. Thanks

onlyjoking9329 · 15/10/2007 18:50

PhoenixSoaring · 15/10/2007 18:56
