Thank you (you know who you are). DS1 will be stoked. And you've made me cry, but in a very very nice way.
I'll add more as I know/organise more over the next week or so, (and so this will make more sense to others - suffice it to say right now that there are some very, very generous mumsnetters). I'll do my best as well to make sure others benefit by way of sharing how it benefits ds1 (via a blog I think) and also campaigning for more public funding for others. I actually had to submit a complaint this week because we tried to submit the funding application to our local authority and they refused to even give us a name to send the report to. I ended up laughing that I'd had to officially complain before anyone had even read the application.
Sorry I know this will be gobbledigook to nearly everyone, but I really wanted to say thank you, (although am finding it hard to find the words) and I wasn't really sure how else to do it.
