Taking a mumsnet break

Not a flounce, just a break. Have rather large report to write & am getting close to the deadline so shouldn't be wasting time on here.

Also seems a good time to go as good old Andy Wakefield has his GMC (is it with the GMC?) hearing tomorrow, no doubt he'll be well and truly hung out to dry and I can't waste a week arguing about it on here. FWIW the real tragedy is that Simon Murch is up as well (which is odd as I thought he'd distanced himself from the original paper, perhaps he didn't, or not far enough). Why a tradgedy? Because as far as I know he's the only gastroenterologist left in the UK who has the skills & experience to treat severely autistic children. Whatever the cause, many do have colitis, it's a painful condition & well tbh I think children in pain should receive some sort of treatment. So fingers crossed for Murch. If he goes as well the children will just have to live with it.

Hope the summer isn't as bad as everyone is expecting. I'm stockpiling the wine.....

Gess - hope you get your report written.

Hope the GMC make the right decisions. (David Southall has a hearing the week after)

Hope summer isn't so bad.

And hope the wine lasts.....

Take care

Good luck with the report.

Hope you survive the summer with your sanity (relatively) intact.

Have a good summer gess, and good luck with the report. I too will be crossing my fingers for Wakefield and Murch. I am so sad it has come to this

Blu · 09/07/2007 17:03

Have a productive summer, gess.
Will be thinking of you.

lucyellensmum · 09/07/2007 17:17

wannaBe · 09/07/2007 21:04

good luck with the report. don't work too hard

tigermoth · 12/07/2007 13:52

just caught up with this, gess. Thought I hadn't seen you around for a while. Hope your report is progressing nicely. I will email you - we are down your way in early August, but don't think I will have a car I can drive anywhere unless a small miracle happens and MIL adds me as a named driver to her car insurance.
