...... sorry this is a bit impersonal but it's a lot quicker than sending separate Private Messages! It's just to let you know that I have just found out I'm being sent into a new department at work as of Monday. Just on a 2 month contract there before returning to my usual job. The hours are much longer though, so I won't be here quite so much as usual, and I wanted you to all bear with me if it takes a while to answer all your discussions. I promise I will check my emails every day, and do as much as I can at week-ends to catch up, but I'll be starting work at 6.30am every day now:-(( So I am going to be knackered (to use one of those great Brit phrases that CremeCheese loves so much! LOL!) Amyway - this is not goodbye - I'll still be here at some stage every day - but please don't think I've deserted you if it takes me a while to answer all your topics! And - in answer to your obvious question - yes - they are paying me very well to do ot - that's why I said yes! Cheers.

Oh no Rosie- I will miss you so much!!!! It won't be the same with out you popping in and out of my discussions and me sometimes trying to keep up with you to answer...LOL. Well I hope things work out and look at it this way, you will have extra money to maybe take in a quick vacation or as you Brits say take a holiday, when it's all over!! Catch you later!!!

Awww - don't worry - I'm not going! If I get the chance to pop in here at lunchtimes, and maybe for an hour in the evening, I will do! And as for the holiday - it is my Birthday in the first week in May, and the contract ends the week before - so we will defnately be taking one!

Thanks. I will really do what I can, but I know the work will be high-pressured for that 2 months, and during the week I will either be working or exhausted! I'll do my best though!

Thanks Jo. I am definately earning much less here at MyLot because I just can't be here long enough to post as much as I used to:-(( But of course the pay in my "real" job definately makes up for it. I just wish i wasn't quite so tired all the time. It is 8.30pm here now, and I'm already falling asleep, and need to go to bed!

We will miss you rosie. I understand and wish you will enjoy this new work. For all of us it's little hard to maintain the very same routine all the time. But I hope to see you in between.

That's such great news for you, Rosie!! I really hope that you'll still continue to start great topics here, though. You really do start some of my most favorite topics on the site, and I would really miss having them to reply to. Don't worry about replying to my discussions, if it keeps you from having time to post. I can always think up more discussions to start on my own, but finding really top notch ones to reply to like your topics are can be daunting some days, lol! So please keep posting! We'll miss having you around as much, but I know that it's for a good cause! ^_^

Well good for you Rosie. Everybody can always use some extra money, well except for Bill Gates and Oprah Winfrey. LOL Hope the time goes fast for you and that you are back with us more often again.
