And now it's time to say.....

.....thank you

As you may (or may not!) know, I have been indexing the 'Thank You Old Style' threads. This gave me the opportunity (or excuse - depends on how you look at it ) to go right back to the beginning of the board - a feat I had never attempted before as it ran to over 700 pages! I found many wonderful threads which I just couldn't resist: 'one quick check' turned into hours of reading full threads

But of course, my main interest was in the 'thank you' posts. These I couldn't help but read completely. It was wonderful to see how people were so pleased by the help that they had received: not only from the Old Style board, but from the whole site. Just as wonderful to see were the cheerful and friendly responses they received to their posts. And I must say, it made me appreciate the site even more than I already did - and that's no mean achievement!

So, now I feel I must add my thanks to those expressed by so many:

• To moneysaving.com, and to Martin and all the site administrators: a true source of inspiration and information

• To the board Guides - Pink-Winged, Gingham Ribbon and Squeaky (and all guides past) for all their time and hard work which is so evident when reading through the board

• And last, but certainly not least, to all on the Old Style board: not only an amazing source of information, but of friendship offered and received

Many thanks to you all

(and I'll index this later - I promise)
