Thankyou MN for everything Been here 6 years now Have been helped through V bad times, celebrated with in good times. Brought to tears by the enormous generosity of strangers when things have turned up at my door, and made some fabulous friends, who will almost certainly be friends for life.

<goes all soppy>

Ah, thankyou mumsnet for my free trip --working holiday-- to Costa Rica and all the rest

MN helped me diagnose and cure my baby of colic milk intolerance. It stopped her pain, when all the health proffs just said she would grow out of it. I grovel at mn feet.

MN also helped me have bf bras - wonderful people sent me clips to make my own when dh was slung from his job when we were 32 weeks and totally broke. People sent other things too, and made my heart swell.

I think mn will have made me a better midwife - but still on mat leave so not sure. Will let you know. Thats a big thing no?

[Of course I was a brilliant one anyway.....]

Custard Creme - why Justine, you are spoiling us!

Another barrel load of thanks here. I spend far too much time on here because of the information, fun, support and general enjoyment. I'm humbled to see the help and support extended to other MNetters, and proud to have played my own little part. And I've made some lovely new friends and won 2 competitions!

Thank you.

Thanks MN and all of the lovely people who post here. Seriously, you have cured my illness, you have helped me to love my wife more than ever, you made me laugh, you changed my life for the better.

You have also turned me into a soppy old git.

[Sucks teeth] Not sure we can run to Bourbons Clemette.

I am a relatively new MN poster but I would like to say that it is by far the most supportive, honest, fun and informative parenting forum I have ever been on.
(Can I have a bourbon? )

Aww what a lovely thread - have yourselves a custard creme one and all!

Thank you mumsnet for helping make me a much more knowledgeable and therefore confident parent.

And through meet-ups I have made some lovely friends .

MN has been a lifesaver for me the past 2 and half years, since I relocated and discovered that I had NO friends within 150 miles.

Still have very few friends as work loads of hours and have so mnay family committments, so sometimes MN is the only female interaction that I have. And I feel like the world's biggest saddo admititng that but there you are.

The wonderful thing about MN is the daftness of some of the threads. The amount of fun I have had on threads like crap tips, the stupidity thread and daft conversations about tea towels - it has stopped me spiralling down in a vortex of self pity and loneliness, I can tell you.
