Hi everyone, We're really sorry to tell you this, but due to a combination of staff sickness and holidays we have had to cancel two webchats: there will be no chat this afternoon (Thursday 29th July) or on Sunday (1st August). We know it's disappointing; we're disappointed too! :-( However, to make up for this, we have rearranged things around ...

Hi everyone, Just a quick message to apologise to any of you who tried to join me in the chatroom today - for some reason, it didn't seem to be working at all. I stayed here until 5:30 just in case, but since I didn't see any of you at all, I think we can safely assume that it was definitely broken! So, very sorry for the disappointment. We'll ...

Hi everyone, We're afraid there'll be no webchat on Monday 8th March because we're all lying on a beach drinking cocktails. (or attending a very long meeting... you decide which is more likely.) Chats will be back to normal from Wednesday though. Sorry for any disappointment! 

Hi everyone, We're pleased to announce that on Monday 22nd February we'll have some folks from BeatBullying joining us in the webchat, from 4:00 onwards.

Over thirteen weeks ago, I stepped into the whirlwind known as the YCNet team and oh my, talk about an action-packed series! I don't think I've ever crammed so many new experiences into three short human months before (except perhaps as a baby); Which possibly explains why I feel as though I've been here for YEARS! So what exactly have ...

It's my fifth week, Simon Cowell's back on the telly (does he ever really go away?) and I've been to.. ooh, about seven chats now? Some great stuff happens in that chatroom - it's full of support and banter, music and laughter. But I think the best bit just might be -getting to hang out and have your say with people who understand that life can be ...

Hi everyone,  We're afraid that due to another technical problem we are unable to run the chat on Sunday 14th June or Monday 16th June. We're really sorry for not giving you more notice about this - we didn't know that the chat wasn't working until we tried it on Sunday! We have every confidence that it will be back to normal again after ...
