Hey all!
As you may know, my son Alex moves from special to mainstream school later this year and from now onwards this will be increasingly time and energy consuming. He’s going to need a lot of support, not just in the evenings but I expect to be in and out of the school so often I will get dizzy. So I’ve decided to give up work and just concentrate on him- getting him through the transition period, settling in full time and then getting through the first year at least, (probably a good deal longer) after which I will re-evaluate.
I also plan to continue my studies at some point. And there's the allotment, and the cats and... oh, I shall be happy and occupied, I won't get bored! But I'll be able to put Alex and his needs first for a bit. Not that I don't usually, but... oh you know!
I've worked with this community for a long time and been a member longer so it's going to be very strange indeed not being on so often...
I was just going to slope off quietly but I got a message today about HP (which is what I'm there for! No probs!) and I could forsee a situation where maybe someone needed access, mailed me and I didn't pick up for days. Which would be awful. So I thought I'd better pop a note on here to let you all know that while I'll be about now and then, I won't officially be staff any more. (also then I get to do a nice dramatic goodbye and have people saying nice things about missing me... heehee!)
Feels blooming weird! Beth x

As if. Sod off!
(but seriously, best of luck to both you and Alex, keep us informed of how he's getting on - and you of course xx)
Good luck to you both, with you behind A he's going to do amazingly well, how could he not, he's an extremely luckily boy to have such a fab mum.

Ahh please come back and say hi whenever you can, you're an amazing part of this place, and one of the absolute lovliest forum-ers ever. EVER!
Best of luck with Al and his change-over, and yay to the studying.x
We will miss your wisdom. Hope everything goes well for you.
Best of luck. As I told an employer once, family comes FIRST, and my job would never come anywhere near as important as that. I am sure you will get used to it
Al is really lucky to have a mum like you, and I hope you come back and tell us about how he copes with the changeover. I'm sure, and hope, that he will do absolutely fine.
And you absolutely HAVE to let us know how his Prom goes ..........
Good luck with everything that you, and Al, do.
I shall Miss you EB, I enjoy reading your posts x
Good luck to Alex and You x x x
Keep us updated x x x
I started my current job last summer and had a long discussion with my boss before he took me on. I made it clear to him that my children are my priority and he respects that (he is always chasing me at the end of the dayto go and pick them up)
I know where you live............
best of luck Beth.....i hope it all goes well.
