In the spirit of Christmas I thought it would be a great idea to publically thank people on this forum for any support, advice, care packages that they have kindly bestowed on you. Or perhaps you just want to thank everyone?   yes I stole this idea

I want to thank
ALL of the girls that hang out on in the daily chat thread, we need to get that back up and running!

ALL of the Vodafone Warriors Fans (great to be able to share my excitement!!)

ALL (too many to name) of the girls that I had the pleasure of meeting this year, you are all fantastic woman, and great mummies!

A big special thank you to Jo and Clare! Just cause


Soooooo Thank away!!!

Aw Mel, what a gorgeous idea.

I have so many to thank too so sorry if I don't thank you all by name but special thanks to Mel and Clare and Julia for putting up with me on here and elsewhere (love you girls) and thanks to Charly because you're such a sweetie (looking forward to meeting you IRL next year).

Thanks to all the girls in the Waiting to TTC thread who kept me occupied (if not sane) while I was waiting for the go ahead from DH. 

Thanks to Kerryn who I keep promising to go for walks with and haven't quite made it yet (maybe in the new year?)

Thanks to the girls from Daily catch up and the girls from the Due in June thread and also the girls who listened to me and supported me while I was second guessing myself in the 2WW (gosh I get around).

Thanks to all who read my lame jokes and post a response.

What a great idea (although it makes it feel like thanks giving!)

Thanks to all the Jan/Feb Mummies .. for being the sisters Ive never had .. and just like sisters we all have our own opinions, but we all feel safe expressing how we feel, even if it differs from each other.

Thanks to Mel ... Im not sure if you know this .. but you got me through some rough times during Issys first three months in the world.

Thanks to Jo ... (just because ) .. Noooo I do actually have a reason. You are the one I run too when this whole working Mummy thing gets on top of me .. and you ALWAYS know just the right thing to say.

Oh and thanks to Emma .. for "lending" me Yvonne

Oh and a final thanks to the December 08 Mummies who always let me lurk and chat in their thread

Aww, what a great idea

I'd like to thank the October 07 Mummies for getting me through Keziah's first year (and a bit) and hopefully more to come. Without you all I would have gone stark raving mad... But seriously, you are a fantastic group of women of who I wouldn't have made it through the tough times I had with latching, breast feeding and all those horrid sleepless nights!! to you all

Daily Chat Thread - For all the great times spent chatting about random stuff

Due in August 09 - Looking forward to being apart of this group since I actually just joined yesterday but already you have all been a fantastic support.

And to the rest of the OhBabiers - You've ALL been a great help to me since I joined here and I am thankful that I have this place to come to when I need questions answered... You're all like family to me!! you all

Thank you to all the Jan/Feb mums who have shared our pregnancies, births, motherhood and for some of us, the hardest times of our lives together. I could never thank you enough for the support and advice you have all given. I would've felt really alone if it weren't for you. I love you guys to bits

Thank you to those who have organised and come to our meetups. It's nice to know that there are 'real' people behind all the messages.

Thank you to everybody who contributes to these forums. You have helped to make the whole motherhood experience just that wee bit more enjoyable.

This is lovely

* Thank you to Jo. You have been my saviour these last few months. You go above and beyond. You rock.

* Thank you to Mel. You have provided me some much needed girl time when it all just gets too much. And you gave me a reason to start baking caramel slice again. You rock too.

* Thank you to all the wonderfully supportive women on here who never judge but offer sane and sensible advice when we need it.

* Thank you to my little guy Joshua for bringing so much love and joy into my life.

* Thanks to ginger and Char. Just cos.

OK from me (sorry it long).

  • Emma for letting me crash when we came up in September.
  • Mel, Deb, and Toni for coming round to Emma's to see me the night before I flew out
  • The daily Catch Up girls for putting up with me from January to June while me and Nigel were apart.
  • To everyone who has sent me PM's saying thanks for organising SS - no problem it was fun doing it.
  • Kels for being along side me doing the single mum and studying thing
  • Gen for doing the paper with me (but I then pulled out)
  • Janine for helping me with SS this year

Um I think that is all.

I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived!

Jo! You have made my day! I can't wait to meet you IRL, too!! Thank you for all your great advice and wisdom. I know you've helped a lot of us jan/feb Mums, as well as me.

A HUGE thank you to the Jan/Feb Mums!
(in no particular order) Amber, Kate, Serenity, Mel, Verena, Trish, Liz, Jane, Julia, James (even though you don't love us enough to post ), Emma, Katie, Char, Shell and KA and TA! (gee I hope I haven't forgotten anyone!!)
You've all been a huge help and a fantastic support. I really, really REALLY would have lost my mind (and maybe my marriage? )if it wasn't for you!
I love you all like sisters.

Thank you to SimSam for hosting our wee get together last month. AND for the music CDs! Hannah's had hours of grooving!

Thank you to everyone on OB. Your advice and everyday chatter has made me smile - and realise I'm not actually alone!!

I would love to thank you all by name, but that would just take too long!

Just want to add a special thank you to my SS who sent me my favourite chocolate, my favourite bubble bath and a great gift for my favourite girl as well as cookie cutters which I have wanted for ages.  Thanks for getting me exactly what I wanted, it was such a great surprise.

Thank you to too many people for being part of our incredible journey this year - so many people bit their nails with us, held us up, shed tears when our IVF was successful, have celebrated with us as Cuinn has grown (and grown and grown and GROWN! ). I couldn't list you all individually if I tried.

Also thank you to the wonderful women who have popped out of the woodwork at just the right time.

Nikki - because you're you, and you're an inspiration.

CaraMel - without having a clue you'd done it, you ended my head-scratching search for a baby sunscreen and I'm unbelievably grateful (it's bizzare what weird things send you into an anxious spin when your hormones are all over the place! )

Anna - for patiently sitting waiting for an email reply I haven't done yet

Simsam - for the photo story which STILL makes me laugh , for being there and for getting the string almost perfect .

Gen and Sarah Beth - you know why.

Katherine - so do you.

Those I'll remember at 3am ... I'll spot you then

Awww Charly!

Thanks to all the March/April mums for being there beside me on the good and bad days throughout my pregnancy and since the twinsies were born.
I hope the Friday night chats will continue

Also a a big thanks to the Jan/Feb mums for making me feel so welcome and again for being there through thick and thin.

And to 'both' of you for sharing your bubbas with me
I know that without you guys to come to day after day that I would have slowly gone insane and your friendship had helped curb the loneliness that has been lingering these last few months.

A huge thanks to everyone on OB who help make this place and enjoyable forum and a bottomless pit of knowledge that have made the first year of motherhood a little less difficult.

THANKS to the Feb 09 Mums to Be for all the goss and sharing and support - especially over the past few weeks when things have been so crazy.. Promise I will stick around! (even if you get sick of me)

THANKS to anyone who has answered my random questions in the pregnancy forum

And THANK YOU all for being a link to home during my pregnancy and being such a good perspective on "real life" while I'm away from my family and girlfriends. You're all fabulous!!

Merry Christmas!

Oh thanks Kelly, I found my name YAY

Firstly, I want to say a massive thank you to my Jan/Feb mummies.. it's been a very hard year for me (for a lot of us) and late at night with DH away for weeks on end, I knew I could find someone to reassure me. It would be so wonderful if our paths are ever to cross (even though they have with TA and KA).

To the Dec mums, for letting me still be in the *gang* without being a Dec mum It's been great spending the last 18 months with you, through the ups and downs, and now to the first birthdays.

To THE KELLY - for making light of most situations when we are getting intense - you're a gem!

And a big thank you to everyone who has had to deal with me during TTC, pregnancy, the first year and also my husband's crappy job lol. You're all wonderful!
