Andy Cutler & TA Conferences

Thanks for all your comments peeps, I really enjoyed it after being nervous about meeting Andy, he is mostly just a big cuddly bear and was so open to answering questions all day for 3 days in a row.

I learned lots too

Loved all the parent presentations, Ian Jordan was brill, Theo whatsit was excellent speaker, I am brain dead now and can't remember who else I got to see

Thanks everybody who made it happen and made the trip and welcome to new members who have joined us, don't be shy, post an intro and say hello

my presentation was the least of your misses but there was some great talks even new stuff for us old timers to consider. Ian Jordan was a revelation for me because used to have the weirdest eye movement, one eye only though, moving to the middle, some might remember me posting about it, was terrified he had a tumour, wondering now if there was a connection. Even if it isn't these disturbances he may know what it was.

Yes, just having others that know and understand first hand how it feels is really worth more then anything but speaking of muddy waters...I think Mandi's Fish analogy should be uploaded to the files section :-))

Sounds like I missed some great presentations on the Sat/Sunday and Vicky, after reading your posts for a very long time, I would have loved to have seen yours.

Did anyone video the conference? Will it be available through TA?

Oh, and , while we are on the subject of warrior mums, I wish there had of been more time to talk with you. I think your an amazing mum too and Harry is one lucky lad!

Hi vicky - the only one eye thing is a tracking problem from what I can read on his website.  Doing the same as I have family in Glasgow, seems that is it difficult to do and in and out in one day from Stansted as weird flight timings so having to stay overnight anyway.

Yes, thanks Mandi and all the TA organisers. We had a great weekend and it was

so fantastic to meet everyone. It was great to meet Andy Cutler and Bill Shaw

too and so many amazing parents. Always very moving.

I loved the swop shop and it was great to have wheat-free food and lots of

water.

Best wishes,

Sandy

Vicky,

Just wanted to say you're being far too modest about your presentation! It was

very inspiring to hear your / 's story and I for one was very moved by

everything you've had to go through to get where you are now. I've read (and

laughed loudly!) your posts on this board so it was really lovely to get to meet

you in person - sorry I didn't get a chance to say goodbye but having stayed for

your presentation I had to dash off to catch a train. Very glad to hear you've

booked the trip to Ayr - worth eating breakfast with Ian Jordan I guess LOL!

Look forward to hearing more good things about your lovely boys' progress )
