Time for me to go.

I've been feeling for a while that I've outgrown my place on these boards. My kids aren't little any more and there aren't going to be any more babies in our little family.
I need to cut right back on my internet vices and focus more on my family and goals.

I'm not trying to create a big dramatic exit.
I know I'm fairly innocuous on here and haven't had much to say in recent times but I just couldn't leave without saying goodbye and thank you to everyone I've met over my time here.

Over the last 3 years this place has been such a great source of friendship, support and entertainment for me.
Since I joined in the early days of my pregnancy with Benjy, I have been lucky enough to have 'met' so many lovely people, some with whom I became friends with in real life too and I really treasure these friendships.

There has always been such a wealth of support here for me, I can't remember a single time I have come here looking for advice and/or support and have not found it.
There is always someone (if not many) here who has been there with their child who can offer help, support and advice.

It has been an important part of my life, these last few years and I will miss this community, this place kept me sane at times!

I wish you all well and thank you all so much for being there with me and for me.

ETA: I'll still be on Facebook, so will still be able to vicariously live through my OB friends on there

Mel, I have to say that your family are one of the coolest families I have had the pleasure to meet. Thank you for welcoming me and mine into your house!

I'll be keeping an eye out for you on FB, and we can be tired and drink coffee together on there

Take care my friend...

sorry to see you go Mel. I know what you mean though. I'm starting to wander a little too, now that the kids are all grown up.

All the best and see you on Facebook

Mel, all the best with you and your family!  I know what you mean though and I too think I need to cut back on my time on here, but can't bring myself to do it right now, so I'm here for a little while yet!

 

See you on FB.
