Most of you already know thisbut I am now making the official announcement (get me, thinking I am so important!) coz I am fed up with my LA not making it official yet.I have resigned form my job, no longer teaching, due to ill health. I do hope to go back to teaching coz I love it and miss it, but for now I am an unemployed lady of leisure! I have been off sick for a year on Tuesday and know I made the right decision even if I had my doubts at times. I will completely understand if you want me to leave the forum, but hope not coz I will miss you all too much! Thank you so much for all the support and advice you all gave me while I was trying to decide what to do- it meant a lot xx |

magpie nic don't you dare leave just because you are not in a job doesn't mean you are not a teacher. You have great ideas and advice for everyone so you are needed. | ||
| redredrobin |
magpie, you have a wealth of information to share with everyone. Once a teacher, always a teacher!
(and if you go, I'll have to go with you!) Enjoy having some time to yourself - being healthy is so important for you and your family. |

| magpie nic |
I'll be the grumpiest golden girl then! Loved that programme, but who will be the floosie? | ||
| smallholder |
Can it be me?
|
||
| cofnchoc |
Does this mean we'll be in a clique?  Think we'll have to think of a different programme tho as there are quite a few others around during the day. Waltons........?

| greyengine |

| magpie nic |
Thank you all. I am going to change my avatar I think to mark my new beginning- will see what I can find.
And if anyone has any work hassles, I really recommend ACAS- they have just given me some great advice to get my resignation made official and my LA have had to agree to do it by the end of this week! |

| jaybee baybee |
Don't you dare go anywhere, magpie! You are a great asset to us and to this forum. Well done for making what must have been a very difficult decision but I hope you will now be able to relax a little and gain your health back. Sending lots of hugs. xxx | ||
| brummie |
Why would we want you to leave the forum? You will have to spend more of your days trawling for great resources for us all! | ||
| bscaca |
MAGPIE WE DO NOT WANT YOU TO LEAVE! | ||
| tui |
i agree with the others. Of Course stay. You don't have to be a teacher to be on here, just interested in teaching and schools. I imagine it would be a bit boring for outsiders.
Yo umake the forum fun magpienic along with a lot os others. |

| gorgeous51 |

||
| magpie nic |
I am more than happy to look for resources as well you know, so let me know what you need and I'm your magpie!
BTW, I am ignoring those football comments because there is only one football team worth mentioning and that is mine.... and don't even get me started on football coaches

| choccat |
Magpie I think it is obvious that no one wants you to leave, and I echo that sentiment. You need now to focus on your health and getting well again. Enjoy being a lady of leisure. | ||

| Louiw |
Once a teacher, always a teacher! You're just a teacher without a class currently!!!
You still have plenty of experience and are there for all of us with your lovely weekly emails! Don't even think it Magpie! Who would I have to share my books with??? |
||
| mrsbean |
There are some posters that I always think of when I think of PTRC and you are definitely one of them!! Always there for everyone and full of fun - don't ever go! | ||
| queenlit |
I think magpie nic does have class!!!
|
||
| emadam |
You can't go, we geordie lasses need to stick together, and you can still give words of wisdom as once a teacher always a teacher. I'm not buying you a secret santa if you are going to leave... so there (sticks tongue out)! | ||
| smallholder |
Shes' certainly in a class of her own!
Magpie. I hope you take heart from the wonderful comments you have had on this thread. x |
||
| Louiw |

|
||
| smallholder |
She even has her own cafe!
http://www.magpiecafe.co.uk/ |
||
| magpie nic |
I am a very classy bird- you better believe it
You are all very sweet and I promise to stay forever! Ha, the idea of me having a cafe is hilarious as all I can cook (honestly, I am so bad even my hubby won't eat anything I cook, even toast!!) is omelette
