it was a great night pauline, thanks for organising it and congratulations to all the prize winners

i never took part in the party thread as i was too caught up with watching for instant prizes and another thread all night but what i have read of it sounds good

**Spangles** · 11-05-2009, 03:38 PM

I wish I could have joined in but flaming AOL keep turfing us off for some reason, it's getting on our nerves! I'm amazed I'm able to get online today actually!

Glad it was a success and Happy belated Birthday!!!

Can I just thank you, Pauline - not only for my prixe (which I'm very excited about!) but also for this website - I couldn't have done it without the support of you and all the other wonderful ladies on here.

When my first year was up the NCMA coordinator called me to talk about the effectiveness of my support childminder. I said I hadn't called her for support because I used a forum which answered all my questions. She asked 'Is it just called th childminding forum? I use that if I need anything answered - it's the best one out there'

**Mollymop** · 11-05-2009, 03:58 PM

Thanks Pauline for arranging the party. I am glad it was such a success.

Well done everyone who won prizes, you lucky devils!

I entered all prize draws, when others had posted on them cos i havent worked out how to use the forum to have caught any of the instant prizes, i only saw them when someone posted on them!!

Off to become wiser by next year!!

Thanks for a great party!
