And yes you need to do this for yourself and I really wish you all the best and you are able to enjoy the freedom that not having to be so involved gives you and Graham.

Thank you to you both, you are still The boss! lol

[Jods]

[charleyfarley]

It must have been a very hard discision to make but one that needed to be made for you and your family

Thank you so much Pauline for all the forum has given me, advice, help, laughs and so many new friends that I wouldn't have made without you

One thing though, Have you warned Richard about those naughty ones?

That must have been a hard decision to make. Thank you both for all your hard work in setting up the forum. I found it when I was looking for information about the New EYFS in August 2008. It seems hardly any time at all. Thank you so much for making so much valuable information available to all of us.

Ah that must have been a tough decision. A massive thank you to you and Graham. This forum has literally saved my life over the past 2 years!

dear pauline & graham,

thank you SO MUCH for all your hard work with the forum, i really could not do my job without it. the forum has been my lifeline, especially in the past 18mths since i moved away from a 'real life' childminding support group. i am very glad to hear you will still be here.

thank you richard for taking us on!

best wishes for the future


lots of love xxx

[Twinkles]

Completely understand. What you have been through really makes you take stock and realise you must make the right decision for YOU.

It is sad that it's the end of an era but I'm sure that with the wonderful foundations that have been laid the forum will continue to be the BESTEST place to come to find out facts , chat and have 'sensible' conversations.


Thank you Pauline and Graham for all you have done for us.

Will be sorry that you're not running the forum now, but can totally understand why you have made the very hard decision you have.

Good luck xx

[linda2girls]

This is such a great forum and has given me so much help. It continues to be friendly and supportive and the first place I turn when I need advice. You have done such a great job.

I will be a little scared that it's in someone elses hands (very selfish I know, sorry xx) but I'm sure you will be around to keep an eye of things.

Best wishes,
Linda.

It doesn't seem five minutes since I joined this forum but it's almost five years! I've watched you nurture it as its grown and you have always been there for everyone. It will be hard to think you are no longer at the helm but I completely understand why. Happy to know you'll both still be around.

Pauline and Graham a huge thank you for making the forum what it is today. I wish you both all the luck in the world and hope you enjoy time with your family.

Good luck to Richard - I hope you know what you're taking on!

Pauline and Graham...

THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for this forum and its wonderful friends - the ones I have met and the virtual ones - please include yourselves in this.

Without this forum I am pretty sure there are thousands of childminders throught this country who would have been so lost.

THE best network in the land bar none!

Thank you xx

Good luck to Richard
