Hi everyone,

I just wanted to share some happy news with you all - me and OH are expecting our first baby. Smile

I’ve had both scans and baby is looking healthy and well. I will be starting maternity leave mid-March.

With regards to managing the community, we have recruited for maternity cover and the new Community Manager will be starting in the next couple of weeks and is really looking forward to getting started.

I will stay in touch on Club Together, but as a member rather than staff, and will be returning to work in 2017.

    Just imagine the gratuitous and unsolicited advice you are going to get. The only thing to remember is that if the baby turns bright pink in the bath, it's too hot for your elbow. Wink

    Congratulations and best wishes to you and your OH.  Enjoy your maternity leave.  Pamper yourself now while you can because you won't get many opportunities once you're a mummy.  Happy
