Just a thought, whilst MN is a vital resource for women all year round there are many posters who can't/don't post over the Christmas period, so topics aren't as busy as they are at other times of the year.
Is it worth having a sticky with useful numbers such as Womens Aid, Shelter, NHS Direct (or whatever their current title is), Al Anon, the Samaritans etc to point people to RL & punctual help?
It must be dreadful if you post on here for help during Christmas Eve/Christmas Day/Boxing Day & either feel ignored or that nobody cares enough to answer...
Plus if a woman finds herself needing help very quickly then a sticky would be faster than starting a thread & waiting for responses.
Thoughts? :)
