    thats good news to the ears Richard.... this Forum as you are probably aware is an amazing network to childminders round the UK and even further afield. Some childminders don't have a good local support and this place is 'home' for many of us

    Thank you so Much to Pauline and Graham

    Without this forum I would not be as successful as I am now...

    And I would not have met people I actually count as 'friends'

    I really hope you will continue to stick around

    3 cheers for Pauline and Graham!!

    I did start making a list but decided that it was easier to list the GOOD ones, it would be shorter

    I agree wholeheartedly with all the lovely things that have been said already Pauline and Graham. You have done the most fantabulous job with this forum and you should be extremely proud.

    What are you going to do with yourselves now???

    Huge thanks to you both and to the mods. It is a huge shock but you will have lots more time for each other and your family and friends.

    Lots of love to you both.

    I don't know what to say to all these lovely messages, I am so truly moved.

    But come on this is a celebration, crack open the wine, let's party Forum style

    Seriously though, I would like to thank Richard for his support over the years with advertising - with technical support for any problems with the server running at £90.00 per hour, we would have been in big trouble without him. He certainly lived up to his title as a 'Forum Friend'

    I hope Richard and Childcare.co.uk are as good as their word, it would be unusual for forums running like this to charge members, money is made in other ways for running costs, so i hope so, i dont post so much these days but would be very upset to see too much in change as i still read and gain so much, just lost a bit of the momentum to post.

    Thank you both for everything.

    Without this forum I wouldn't be half the childminder I am or have half the knowledge I have (or think I have anyway ) I have made so many great friends too.

    Thank you both for all your time and commitment. Good luck Richard these are BIG shoes to fill

    I can't say really add much more than everyone has already said , but i'd like to wish you both well and hope that you will enjoy your " retirement" and do all the things you have wanted to, but couldn't due to commitments.

    I'm glad you are still going to be around though ..... i may need some tecnical help please Pauline !( you don't get away with it that easily !!!)

    love from the silver surfer !!

    PAULINE AND GRAHAM

    I want to tell you "Thank you,"
    But it doesn’t seem enough.
    Words don’t seem sufficient--
    "Blah, blah" and all that stuff.

    Please know I have deep feelings
    About your generous act.
    I really appreciate you;
    You’re special, and that’s a fact!
