Just want to say, since I discovered this board in August last year, it helped me enormously! I have name changed several times since to reflect different stages in our situation, so you probably won't recognise me. However, it is so reassuring to be able to chat to people in similar situations. I really would not have the understanding I do, without you guys. Ds is doing well and I have to say much of it is down the confidence and advice this board has given me.

One of the first things I read on here was how you are your child's best advocate. Its really given me the confidence to battle with the many people and situations in our life to get te best for DS.

So, in short, thank you and please keep replying to the many posts on this board, as it means the world to the posters looking for help, advice and sometimes just somewhere to vent.

I love the character of this board, I've never encountered anything but great advice and support. Hope I have been able to offer the same in return. Thanks

Yes, I have had a glass of wine, but wanted to thank you all.

Well I'm short, fat and older looking than I really am. Pic on profile if you need to see, but trust me it's the stuff of nightmares Grin
I try not to think too far ahead into the gis future, it's impossible to know.

I am also very jealous of anyone with a downstairs loo Envy

I'll PM you! It's because I'm a sad cow with nothing better to do until I decide to brave match.com. Grin

Oh zzzz.

I'm not corporate. I kind of DID corporate for a bit but I was crap at towing the line and doing the boss lick-arse. interestingly That went in my favour a bit and I worked in a team that liked challenge but then kids happened. I took an unpaid career break (still on it actually) and whilst on it the company merged with another, made my whole team redundant and moved head office Hmm so doubt if I show up at end of break they'll have a clue who I am.

Stay away from Match.com

Get a Labrador instead.

EllenJaneisnotmyname · 05/02/2012 00:51

Astronomer, my dsis lives off LB rd, 4 letters, never been to Herts!

lisad123 · 05/02/2012 00:51

No get a labradoddle!

StarlightMcKenzie · 05/02/2012 00:52

Think there are only 3 in Herts.

WetAugust · 05/02/2012 00:54

Yikes - DS went to the astronomers. That was the place that totally fucked him up.

I live off LB Rd. Starts with R.

StarlightMcKenzie · 05/02/2012 00:54

Appropriate has perfect cut and styled mousey hair with highlights and a very expensive and gorgeous engagement ring.

WetAugust · 05/02/2012 00:54

Only 3!! Ha ha. The Herts mafia.

EllenJaneisnotmyname · 05/02/2012 00:54

I'm allergic to dogs!

lisad123 · 05/02/2012 00:55

Slm can always be spotted by her odd socks Grin

lisad123 · 05/02/2012 00:56

Think your find a few more including sparklygothkat, personalclown, misdee, and a few more Smile

WetAugust · 05/02/2012 00:56

I'm allergic to dogs!

So am I - that's why I don't talk to exH's GF. She lives off LB Rd too - as does her predecessor.

Oh yes - it's complicated in these parts! Grin

EllenJaneisnotmyname · 05/02/2012 00:58

Shit, I went to astron, as did dickhead, 3 of my nieces and my nephew! I went there in the 70's and nieces etc in the 90's. DSis lives about halfway round LB, sunny something. It was all fields when I went to school.

StarlightMcKenzie · 05/02/2012 00:58

Okay, but they rarely post on this board.

Ds would love an astronomer school, although perhaps not that one!?

StarlightMcKenzie · 05/02/2012 01:01

And Peachy is orange with soft skin - obviously.

WetAugust · 05/02/2012 01:02

ExH lives in the same road as your DSis.

Bewteen ExH, me, and ExH's ExW we occupy 4 streets off LB Rd!

He wouldn't love that school Star. Angry

StarlightMcKenzie · 05/02/2012 01:03

Yes thanks Lisad although I've yet to discover what 360 actually is.

A lot like GB, but newer, bigger and nicer. Also closer to me.

WetAugust · 05/02/2012 01:06

'Tis a place to be avoided zzzz

EllenJaneisnotmyname · 05/02/2012 01:06

Good job I moved oop north then, as DS2 is in a MS comp but it's really inclusive. Was chatting to a friend at the Upton today about her DS who goes to the astron school. Spooky.

Appropriate has dark hair in a ponytail and wears Boden.
Working is due around the same time as Star and someone else on here.
