Looks like I'm going to be running from room to room all day but I'm about to colour in my programme and find the break slots.

Is anyone interested in meeting up? I'll be the one who is NOT SCARY!

Sorry yes, we will be in the bar of the Tavistock hotel in Tavistock square from about 6:20 I think. Before then in UCL psych. Dept. right next door to hotel.

I'm planning to be in the bar for a short time to. Hope you can join.

Aargh. Stupid end-of-year overload. Now worked too late to think abt train into London. Right, will see you all tomorrow... am going to cheekily PM my mobile no to those who made it to the bar in the hopes that someone will text me if i don't find you all in the morning.

Hope you're all having a good time! Disappointed I couldn't make it but am working with an amazing little boy, his family and therapists this week. 3 new sounds just today, so makes up for missing out on EABG! Have fun!

Maryeea, will hunt you down tomorrow! Pleasant. We talked about you and your general fabulousness this evening. You never told me you got Schramm over!

Agh, tomorrow is looking tricky. Baby not that happy apparently. Dh offered him hot chocolate , sugary warm milk and various other random milky stuff but not going down too well though he's now asleep all the same.

Had a brilliant time though. moondog your colleagues think an awful lot of you.

You can't miss chance to meet Maryeea,star! She is coming tomorrow. Dd ok with Daddy surely?

I'm not home yet. Have to see how baby is and how he is overnight.

sadly not had contact the man himself, moondog, just been in very close partnership with Mr Scramm's book

Though am very impressed with how clearly he writes

can you not bring the bubba? I can bring some slings....

pleasant, 3 new sounds is amazing! think you're walking the walk while everyone else in in london talking the talk

Star, I think the world of them. You have met the crenelated de la creme when it comes to implementing ABA strategies in public sector settings.

Yes moondog I got Schramm over to present his introductory workshop in Cardiff a few years ago. Who told you? He also saw a tricky client I work with a couple of times. We use 'his' cooperation techniques and they work a treat!

Bursting boil on my eyelid prevented play yesterday, (gross much?) but I'm gonna be at the handwriting session from ten onwards today armed with my carrot .

I still look revolting but my son assures me he doesn't mind if people laugh at me, so I'm hoping MNetters won't either.

Dev told me yesterday Pleasnt. V impressed. I love his book. Sorry to hear that Bochead. Hope you rally today!

Should be there in a bit. Left late as baby fed all night and morning .

It was such a privilege to meet your colleagues again Moondog. They're amazing and at the same time unassuming and 'doers'. for someone that is so disillusioned with education provision it was a breath of fresh air to talk to them.

Great you can come back! Maryeea is here! No sign of Bochead yet....
Yes they are fantastic aren't they? I am honoured to work with them.

How's today going? Moondog what date shall I pencil in for next year? We've already got some bookings for next year so I want to make sure I get it pencilled in now!

Good! Star, Boc and Maryeea are enjoying themselves I think. We've had lunch together and listened to some inspiring presentations. Star has now more or less signed up for the msc in ABA (yaaay) and Maryeea has waved a large ikea carrot at the audience in a big lecture and reminded the audience that parents don't like caring carrots who offer them nothing. Fab!!!
I'll have the date in the next couple of days and let you know.

Yay! Carrot-Waving at large audiences is the new sport!!!!

I am mega pissed off I couldn't stay for today, but yesterday was amazing and inspiring and such a breath of fresh air to be in a room full of people who really are the change they want to see in the world. Guys you should have seen Moondog she owned that stage [said in a Kelly Rowland accent], brilliant speaker and I wish we could clone her and send a replica to every LA in the land to infiltrate the rot. We have Active Support data sheet for daily living skills up and running now and my tutors love it. I want to do the Msc as well. I need to clone myself too. Science, we need more science. And more events like these.

It was fab! Have been on such a lovely evidence-based cloud since 10am. Even a migraine and ds2 drawing all over the sofa can't shift my good mood

Really enjoyed meeting moondog again and her great colleagues. And was brilliant meeting star and boch in RL. I was absolutely blown away by the Positive Behaviour Support psychologist, his presentation on respectfully and effectively promoting quality of life for adults with severe challenging behaviour has left me speechless. And he let me take his picture with boch's carrot for a spot the difference (will upload when on the big computer)

Drowning, you are too kind . I am cross that I did not get the chance to say goodbye to you,. It was do great to meet you and the rest of the posse. I think you got out of it what I wanted you all too-some major reinforcement!, I hope you got Corinnas details-she is an incredibly valuable contact for your free school venture. Wish you were all here. We are having a very jolly time In a Turkish restaurant-25 of us!
