Have just seen ghosty's post about you definitely not coming back.

I for one think that this is a huge loss not only to me personally but to the whole of mumsnet. You have selflessly, even though having more than your hands full, gone out of your way to help and advise people on so many occassions.

I think mumsnet is a sadder place for not having you in it

Thanks for summing up so many of our feelings, blossom

MrsJohnCusack · 12/07/2006 20:31

yes totally agree with you
It's a massive loss, Jimjams seems to have spent an awful lot of time and emotion helping so many people.
I hope you can consider coming back. I haven't even particularly 'talked' to you but I read a lot of things I don't post on and can see the enormous input you've given to Mumsnet. And also how sad so many people are that you've left.

redbull · 12/07/2006 22:13

useless with words i am but everything i feel has been summed up allready, will really miss jimjams.

mumsnet wont be the same without her

zippitippitoes · 12/07/2006 22:24

i'm very sad you're going..crying in fact

niceglasses · 12/07/2006 22:27

Yes, will miss you very much JJams. Always talked so much sense. I agree MN has changed a lot, but I just sort of take it or leave it. Could you pop in now and again??? Will miss you anyhow and wish you well if you nip back to read these.

Thomcat · 12/07/2006 22:29

Hope it's more of a holiday than a gone for ever thing.

Angeliz · 12/07/2006 22:31

She has helped me on many many occasions bless her.

I'll really miss you on here Jimjams+

Just to add I will miss you too...you raised my consciousness about the whole jabs/vax debate, and living with a special needs child - mumsnet needs people like you.

anorak · 13/07/2006 08:38

And just what do you mean by that fio?

No, seriously, I think you should rant whenever you like and ignore that one judgmental and negative person. Mumsnet is supposed to be a resource for helping us as parents, and we all need to rant sometimes. Just as in real life you are bound to get the odd person who argues with something perfectly reasonable, and just as in real life you weigh that up against everything else and keep what is useful and dismiss what isn't. I think it's very sad when people leave the site because of one person who's upset them - it's like never speaking to any of your friends again because someone they didn't even know came along and insulted you. V sad indeed .

Fio this is not your fault, and Jimjams I hope you'll come back when you're feeling better.

And I never post on this type of thread normally.

Twiglett · 13/07/2006 08:42

what's happened?

if JimJams is taking a break I'll miss her loads

if she's gone for good I'll be really sad

emmalou78 · 13/07/2006 16:20

I just want to say how terribly sad this is, and I doubt anyone will fill the gap you'll leave in this 'community'.

I can only echo everything thats been said here already.

And Fio, its not your fault, I know exactly how you feel, and witht he exception of replying to certain members I am very conscious of that I might be misinterpreted.

I hope Jimjams will come back, not just becuase os many of us will miss her, but because she, like us needs places like this.

springgreens · 14/07/2006 06:54

Come back Jimjams! I don't post on here very often - as I feel that usually there are people with much better advice than me - but you really have helped me so much..........to the point that I'll scroll through a thread to see what you've had to say on a topic! You seem to have alot of what we all are dealing with sussed and always write with sensitivity and tact. I don't know what has occured with the other thread, but still feel Mumsnet is an amazingly important space for parents like us and you will be very sorely missed. springgreens

Fio - don't feel bad, it's not your fault.

Hope Jimjams decides to come back at some point, she's much loved and valued. If you speak to her Fio, tell her so and I hope the kids are feeling better.

Kelly1978 · 14/07/2006 08:01

what a horrible thing to do!

southeastastra · 14/07/2006 08:11

Miaou · 14/07/2006 08:14

giddy what a fab post (previous one) - I think you have hit the nail on the head. Although I don't have sn children I recognise what you say about helping people when you are sinking.

JJ ((((hugs)))) we have spoken offline before but I have since lost your email addy so I shall just say here how much I personally will miss you.

agentshhh · 14/07/2006 08:22
