Love this board!

[AprilSkies]

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.

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

When is the asteroid due Star ?

Silverfrog.

Working and me due 9th June. Silverfrog mid July.

Anyone else?

A bit cryptic for me Silverfrog?

Asteroid is the best name we've come across so far!

Did AT used to be D?

Lol Silverfrog due mid July. Likes threads on ABA, diet interventions and vaccinations, amongst others of course.

FFS! Don't post it on Baby Names. You'll probably find a few on there that have used it

I really do have to tie my posting finger to a lump of lead when I'm reading that board.

Yes Wet, she did.

Three babies all due together, mums all on SN board. That is spooky!

Wet, I'll have to visit sometime. Maybe not with all 3 boys, though!

Must sleep now...

Thanks Star. I guessed it was.

I think I'm due a name change.

Quite fancy the last one

Has PurplePeopleEater been taken? That would suit you!

PurplePeopleEater has already been taken

I shall now make it my life's mission to track them down, torture them to reveal their password, kill them and assume their identity.

All in a day's work.

Night all.....must be up in time for The Archers omnibus

DS has been up and dancing in the snow for the last half hour. He's come in for hot chocolate and supplies and is then off for a proper walk.
DD is huddled up in her student house, wrapped in 7 or 8 layers of clothing and blankets, shuddering at the thought of the snow and hoping on sunshine.

hi all, yeah this board has been a life saver, and a sanity saver . and you are all fab!

and yes ellen i am forced to watch vintage dr who, (and to discuss the relative merits of different Transformers).

and for the record I am Loud, extrovert, curly haired and fat (ish)

And I lied when I said I was tall and willowy.

. ellen, it's like blind dating isn't it... I will be one with the red carnation in my button hole, (and the trail of small boy snot on my top, as ds has decided I am his hankie, )

I'm the one with the smile on my face cos I'm a great believer in 'looking' happy despite your situation cos it helps trick you into actually feeling happy.

A little late but may I join in and say how much this board has meant to me and gave me the strength and belief to keep fighting when all the professionals kept trying to stop me.

And yes, I do keep talking about 'a friend of mine' etc and then thinking, actually I only know them on MN.

And 3 babies due soon? Wow! Knew about Star and Working but not about Silverfrog. Congratulations. Hope all doing well.

Good grief, you lot were up late last night. You have a lot more stamina than me.

Ellen, you were half right - I did indeed used to be a total hippy, with flowers, Dr Martens and a vw camper. I still have the dm's and the camper, but now tend to dress all in black with my hair scraped back into a pony tail. I'm working on it though - bought myself three new tops last week and only one was black. I'm also trying to wear my hair down more often these days (tis dark brunette, very long and currently rather 'big' after having layers put in last week). If I wear it down to the school no-one recognises me, which is rather amusing.

this is in fact me, although I'm looking slightly more gin sozzled these days how did you guess ellen!

congratulations to silverfrog I think used2bthin is also due around the same sort of time (I so hope I've got that right!)

dust I was wondering where you'd gone I think I've got the name change, I'm usually crap and rarely get it right

also loving this board

Feenie spotted me almost straight away. Apparently it was my use of the word whiffling that stripped my disguise away.

I had to wait for the fact that you were a professional and might have got a teensy bit offended...
