Hello you lovely lot,

This is just a little thread to let you know that after Sunday, I’ll be leaving my role as online community co-ordinator on here for ventures new. I’m getting rather sad now I’ve come to tell you all, so I’ll try and keep it short, and not akin to an Oscars speech!

So much has happened in the time I’ve been here, a pandemic, being pregnant and having a much-wanted baby, and all along you’ve each been a part of my days, and I’ll miss that very much. I genuinely want the very best for you all; you deserve it.

Being a moderator isn’t always easy. It’s sometimes hard being the person behind the screen, and the wonderful online community team have been unwaveringly supportive throughout. Fully accepting my questionable humour and helping me grow into the role and feel more confident.  @Adrian_Scope hates compliments but let me tell you – he is hands down, the best boss you could ever wish for.

And so, being me, I’ll go out with a final flourish. I’m throwing myself a virtual leaving do on Sunday which you’re all welcome to join in with. Don’t leave me sat eating a sausage roll on myself will you.

And to everyone who’s been a part of my story here, thank you – Tori, Ross, Chloe, Alex, Hannah, Richard – you make, and have made, the OC the special corner of the internet that it is.

Now I'm going to make myself a brew and comfort eat chocolate bourbons for the rest of the day  :D

    @Cher_Scope!  :) You've been amazing to work with, bringing your care, wisdom, humour, and zest for all things weird to the team has certainly helped during tough times and good ones alike. Who will serve everyone ice cream and mocktails now?!

    You'll surely be missed here, but I'm so excited for you and your new ventures, and wish you all the very best  <3

    Pass those bourbons over, and a tissue too please!

    I'm really going to miss having you around at Scope, @Cher_Scope! You've been an excellent colleague, and have become a wonderful friend. You'll be missed on the online community, but your wealth of knowledge, good humour, and engaging threads will live on I'm sure ♥  It's been lovely to see you come into your own, and help make the community the warm and supportive place it is.

    All the best for the future :) You'll be amazing!

    Good luck in your new ventures!

    I have not been here long but I've been here enough to know the Community team has built a very welcoming place. You should all be proud of it. It's not an easy thing to accomplish, I would know with my own experience of moderating communities. Having someone moving on in the team is always a bittersweet moment, you know they're moving forward with their life journey but you can't help but miss them.

    Aww you guys, what lovely comments. They are appreciated  <3

    And yes @surfygoose - the plan is to pop back on in the future, in a personal capacity, to say hello and have a chinwag. So you aren't getting rid of me completely!

    Goodbye El Chezidente! I’ve already been horribly soppy :s elsewhere, so I’ll keep this short — we’ll miss you massively.
