    I too would like to nominate the Boots thread but not sure how. The tragic loss of baby Thomas has brought a group of people, the majority of whom have never met each other, together to strive to bring something positive out of something so, so tragic. A wonderful group of people!

    I would like to nominate this - http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=997181

    The reason being that a long standing member of the thread - Livermumof2 (AKA Jill) has tragically lost her Baby boy Thomas this Wednesday Morning to Meningitis. Thomas was just 8 months old.:A
    The main reason for nominating this is to highlight the support and kindness of everyone who posts here as we are now raising money to give to Livermumof2 to help her in any way we can. It is such a great thing to see so many people who do NOT know each other personally coming together to help someone in their time of need and that is why it should be post of the month. Also the prize of £50 would be given to the collection for Jill.



    Another vote from me for the fabulous Boots thread!

    Boots thread for me as well - the loss of a child puts everything else into perspective I think. The wonderful gals on the Boots thread have shown true community spirit.

    Boots thread for me too.

    I'm not a regular contributor to the Boots thread, but always try to keep up with posts. All the guys there are wonderful people and think nothing of thinking of others first - in my opinion a quality that is sadly lacking in today's world.
