think its a great idea :)

thederkinsdame · 24/09/2010 23:14

I third that - great idea, 2shoes

Al1son · 24/09/2010 23:39

I think it's a fab idea. We should agree that it isn't sales though. Donations/swaps only.

Great idea Smile.

Ineed2 · 25/09/2010 10:12

Ineed2 · 25/09/2010 11:39

Don't know melted... how many tantrums a day do yours have??

Sorry 2shoes... didn't mean to hijcack, just nice to see the funny side of something for the first time this week. Will behave myself now Grin.

not sales as I doubt mn would allow ans it could be open for all sorts of hassle

OOOOO swapshop!Grin good idea.

2shoes · 25/09/2010 14:52

I have emailed MN HQ with a link to this thread.

there are for sale boards on here for other stuff so don't see why a sn one wouldn't be possible. Swap shop's a good idea.

as an aside, the sn:education board's not getting much traffic, some posts go unanswered, does anyone think it would be worth putting it back with sn:children?

Ampersand44 · 25/09/2010 15:51

Swapshop a great idea.

Bigcar - I had wondered the same thing about sn:education. The lines are so blurred anyway sometimes. And I have seen posts there which I am sure would benefit from great advice from people on here with very few answers.

negligentmummy · 25/09/2010 16:33

as a relative novice I never knew that there was a SN:education board so have never used it- always look on the main board for info... oops. swap shop sounds like a great idea. I have a makaton core vocab book 1 spare if anyone wants it!

glittery · 25/09/2010 16:52

SKitUK have a swap/for sale board and it works really well, i think it would work here too now that there is the inbox thing.

as bigcar says there are other for sale boards here so it shouldnt be a problem and its a wee bit more personal than ebay Smile

2shoes · 25/09/2010 17:02

bigcar, I think imo there is a lot of confusion already about SEN not always being sn, wouldn't that just add to it?(I ask as some one who has never gone into the SEN topic)

OP posts:
2shoes · 25/09/2010 17:08

just went and had a nose, it seemed a good topic on it's own iynwim, but oddly placed, I wonder ti fit would be better placed amongst the sn topics? or would that stop people from posting......

OP posts:
bigcar · 25/09/2010 17:16

2shoes you're right, but there is a SN education board here under the SN section and also a SEN section of the education board so I think your concern would probably be covered there. It just seems a shame that the SN education section on the SN board doesn't get the same attention that the SN children section gets but has pretty much the same content. It's just a thought Smile

2shoes · 25/09/2010 17:19

oh do you mean the sn one, sorry I thought you meant the SEN one.
I think the same thing has happened with the teens one, much as I wanted it, It isn't used much, a thread on here with teen in title would probably work better,

OP posts:
bigcar · 25/09/2010 17:23

2shoes, took me ages to realise there were 2 different ones Blush Grin I thought threads were disappearing at one stage Confused

2shoes · 25/09/2010 17:31

tbh I have never been in any off the other sn topics apart from teens.

I would prefer there not to be a for sale SN board, (as opposed to swaps, donations or FFP) as it could lead to nastiness if a transaction goes pearshaped for any reason. despite the best intentions of all, things break/go astray in the post on occasion..
