The Anne Deveson book is from years ago. I just ordered it from Dymocks. It’s the story of her son Jonathon who had schizophrenia.

Hey @Shaz51 @Oaktree is Anne Deveson book new release or did you get from library?

I'd love to read that

What is Nik Nik @tyme - am I showing my age or lack of socialisation?


@Till23  I think you're just demonstrating that you float in different walks of life cos... I got NO CLUE either 🤣 

 

@tyme Is it a Tik Tok thing? Nik Nik Nok? 🤔😝

Nik Nik was a forums user from several years ago. I think they were staff but I can't be sure 

Re: My Place

@Oaktree @Jynx @Till23 Nik Nik was one of our very first Community Managers here on the forums. She did that job for many years and was amazing.

@Jynx 

@NikNik was doing the sane forum in 2014 , 2015 at the beginning of the forum 

@Oaktree , @Till23

Good gosh, been here 6 years and those early ones are a blur - I wonder if we crossed paths! I think when I joined it was DaisyDreamer.

Re: My Place

@Jynx There were a couple of short term managers after Nik Nik then Daisydreamer.

Re: My Place

Ok @Oaktree yes I thought it was an "old" book - I though maybe there had been an update or something.

Yes I know the surface story of her son and her life. But would be good to read the deeper story

Because I'm old I rememver her being on TV

Re: My Place

Definitely before my time then @Zoe7 but they sound cool! 

Re: My Place

She was @Jynx and was very much missed when she moved on to other things. It was a much smaller forums then so the CM was much more involved in the day to day stuff and with members - I know things change and grow but those days were pretty special.
