Come and celebrate our new [thanks] emoticon by saying Thank You to a Mumsnetter who's made a difference. Spot prizes to be won and all!

Hello.

We have a new emoticon: Thanks

It's meant as a way for say thank you to someone for something nice/funny/amazing they've done or said. And it's in no small way inspired by the lovely Mumsnet Blanket Crew who've been agitating- very politely but very persistently Wink - for a thank you emoticon for some time now. (They originally wanted a star but we thought a bunch of flowers probably had a bit less of the 'prefecty'/'sticker chart' thing going on.)

We want to mark the arrival of our new emoticon by starting this special Thank You thread - and inviting you to say Thanks to another Mumsnetter who's made a difference to you.

Perhaps it's a Mumsnetter who has posted (or PM'd) something that helped you or supported you or inspired you ? or just made you laugh like a drain. Or maybe it's someone who's done something extraordinary for you, off-board or on.

Do come and tell us about it - and thank her/him for it - here. We're hoping for a thread full of Thanks for some truly lovely MNers.

Oh, and we've also got some rather covetable prizes - books, toys and some very cool (child and adult) bike helmets from Bell - to give away as spot prizes. Anyone who posts on this thread is in with a chance of winning - we'll pull names at random out of a hat in a couple of days' time.

Thanks, MNHQ

ThanksThanksThanks to the whole of Mumsnet. You have unknowingly, (because I'm usually too shy to post Blush), supported me through an abusive

relationship. I get the keys to my new house and life a week on Wednesday. I laugh and cry daily thanks to you lot.

I'd like to Thanks Cod without whom we'd just be an online forum, not the upstanding backbone of modern British parenting we are today. You might be called cod, but you're more of an icon to me. Thanks Thanks Thanks

Thanks big blooms to madmouse for caring enough to help me through a very dark period of PND a while back. Her thoughtful advice genuinely helped me recover and I am in a much better place and very grateful.
