AnonyMouse_13453 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I think it's probably time that I officially said 'Goodbye' to you all, and a huge THANK YOU for all the love, laughs and support you and this great forum have given me over the years. If I've helped anyone over the years, then that's great, but I think on balance, I've had more from you all than I gave. I retired in autumn 2015 and it's been twelve months now since I had anything to do with working in childcare, (my own gorgeous granddaughter notwithstanding!) so it's time to hang up my glue and glitter spattered apron and bid you all a very fond adieu. I have felt a great comradeship from you all, for which I thank you, from the bottom of my heart. An extra huge thank you must go to Steve for setting up this fabulous forum, which has grown so much from those very early days, and to all the team around him who help in many and diverse ways. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FSFRebecca Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Oh Cait, You'll be sorely missed - you always have such valuable things to say .... can't we tempt you?

AnonyMouse_19782 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Ahh Cait, I have not been able to get on here properly for a little while, and penny only dropped this afternoon, it maybe because the old Kent membership had finally lapsed. TBH I still don't know what has happened and how come I can now see and post on the different forums!!! Obviously up to you dear Cait, but I hate to think that you are leaving here. You were one of the very first to inspire and encourage me after so many years in the business, it was a great day when I signed up to the forum to meet you. If you can stay, I do wish you would. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_13453 Posted January 30, 2019 Author Share Posted January 30, 2019 Well, you've talked me into it. Who has any snow for roof sledging? Sunnyday, the pink sparkly balaclava, Panders,we need the wet suits. Game on? 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_19782 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Wet suits have had to have a couple of bicycle patches on them, obviously well used last time, but fit and ready to go. Think we may need to wait and see if we get more snow down here though, not enough for the sledge as yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_19782 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 To be honest Sunnyday, I've always found the purple one chafes a little round the ears, maybe mine are bigger than yours. I nearly skated towards the outside bin today - certainly put the wind up me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_19762 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Where's zigzag when you need her - she's got all the snow - suggest we start making our way down to her......we need balaclavas, boots, wetsuits, sledges, refreshments - er have I forgotten anything? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_19782 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Zigzag has been suspiciously quiet - I think she's trying to keep all the snow to herself! Wet suits are at the ready and I have dusted off the sledges, Mr. Panders has oiled the runners so we should be able to get up some speed off of the roof. Gluwein recipe at the ready, especially for Sunnyday and Hali, never knowingly gone anywhere without a tipple. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_19762 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Well done my little black and white furry friend - I'll be round in a mo .....what a nice surprise for zigzag when we all turn up tonight 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_13453 Posted February 1, 2019 Author Share Posted February 1, 2019 Who had the skis? Was it Gezabel? All my snow has gone now, so I'm a bit disgruntled! I'd spent the morning darning the elbows of my sheepskin vest too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
