For anyone who hasn't seen Justine in todays News Review part of the Sunday Times .
One paragraph brought a tear to my eye remembering that thread

Yes I saw this.
The bit which left me feeling choked was the bit about a million big sisters ... (breaks off to sniff).

MerlinsBeard · 13/08/2006 19:47

strawb, whip out your guitar and start the singing off. We shall not, we shall not be moved....

alittlebitshy · 13/08/2006 20:04

aw, that is a lovely article!!!
Justine, thanks for writing it and making others aware of what a fabulous community we have here!

marthamoo · 13/08/2006 20:05

Yes, I feel an irresistable urge to make a banner from an old sheet and hang it out of the window. We shall not be moved!

tribpot · 13/08/2006 20:07

They shall not pass.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 13/08/2006 20:08

A million big sisters??And is that a Good Thing?

Seriously, it was a beautiful article Justine.

(Sally, ahem, you've lapsed back into American Pie, sweetie. Change chords...)

expatinscotland · 13/08/2006 20:20

Saw it.

How does one stay so thin and pulled together looking w/four kids?

I feel like a truck hit me and I've only got 2.

brimfull · 13/08/2006 20:26

aaww ,proud to be a mumsnetter ,great article Justine!

tassis · 13/08/2006 20:28

Great article

How on earth does Justine find time to do interviews, fight legal battles, keep us all updated on everything and write great articles??

Hope you're having a lovely holiday, Justine!

MrsSpoon · 13/08/2006 20:31

Yeah! Go Justine!

Ellaroo · 13/08/2006 20:33

What a fantastic article.

I had completely missed the threads relating to the suicide attempt that Justine talked about - but it brought home yet again to me what a lovely,caring group of people there are on Mumsnet. x

twinsetandpearls · 13/08/2006 20:39

love the comparison to a million big sisters, espcially as we don;t always like our big sisters and certainly don't always agree with them but feel an affection and loyalty to them none the less.

" How does one stay so thin and pulled together looking w/four kids?

Chortle... can that be Quote of the Week???

madrose · 13/08/2006 20:44

well written and succinct. Justine looked fab, the other picture was a bit scary.

longwaytogo · 13/08/2006 20:45

That is so fantastic - my dh said we can never do away with mumsnet as it gives him a laugh. I've never had a sister either and without you lot over the last 14 months I don't think that I may be in some psychiatric unit by now so thanks girsl xx

FrannyandZooey · 13/08/2006 20:47

Love it
