Just want to say Bye for now.

[Palms]

I have made the decision not to renew my membership with Flowerchat so I am bowing out and saying bye to everyone. You know me, I could not just slip away.

I have a few reasons for not renewing. I dont want to post any real details while my competition could gain access at any time, for me, this is just not an option If I cant be candid then I am not offering what I should be or getting what I should be out of it.

I am also spending too much time just browsing on my computer and am really trying to reduce that time as it is doing me no good and am feeling like I am in a bit of a rut.

I am also reducing every cost I have this year and am aiming to make some proper money, so any costs that cannot be justified with monetary gain are going.

I have loved my time here and have made some good friends. I just wanted to say thank you to you all for making me feel so welcome and being so friendly with me. It really has meant a lot. Thanks to the moderators too, you do a great job.

So bye for now, (I will probably be back next week lol) I wish you all the best and hope you all prosper this year!!

Paula,

[RWK]

Now, This news truly breaks my heart. I think I speak for everyone when I say you will be missed.

 

[rewolf]

Oh Paula, I hate to see you go but a girl's got to do what she has to do.
I'll miss all the thoughtful posting you have done over the years. You've been such a help so many times.
Best of luck to you and I do hope we'll see you next week

 

[Mikey the Flower Guy]

oh Paula........:faint:urpletea

 

[emilymoonflower]

Aw Paula,
I'm really going to miss you too! I hope that your sales increase to the point that you can justify a paid membership again.
Please come back and let us know the results of the recent vote.
Emily

NO! NO! NO!!!!
This won't be the same without you! I am truly going to miss you. Too many of our favorite posters have left.
You know I wish you all the best.
See you next year.

 

[concord]

Paula, I will miss your sense of humor. I always know I can count on you for a laugh. Best of luck to you and I hope you'll be back some day.

[LOTAKIDS]

My dear friend Paula.. I will miss you on here. (I ditto what Ricky said "this breaks my heart")) Sad to see you go..

I will catch you on Facebook...

May you have a prosperous year!

 

[FANCIES]

Ditto on everything said so far for me too! I was just getting to know you. I do understand your feelings and also all the time spent on the social network. I fear I am addicted! BUT I have learned so much and it has helped me to follow along with the different topics and pick up new ideas & just the feeling I am not alone at this hard time for many of us. I wish you well, and I hope you will be back very soon, next week would be just fine with me

 

[herndonflorist]

I will miss all the great insight. Thanks also for taking care of the customers I have sent you along the way. Hope you come back someday!

 

[mumsandmore]

Take care. Hope you come back!

 

[Rhonda]

dang girl..... will miss you but will catch you on fb...

 

[concord]

I'd like to catch you on FB. How do I find you there?

 

[sandytf]

....but I, too, will see you on FB (not the same)

 

[Johan]

Well matey, I will keep in touch on facebook - you know where I am if you need to chat and blow off steam.
Take care

[Mikey the Flower Guy]

it's funny...too much time is spent on "social networking" BUT, FaceBook is ok........DUH!

 

[Palms]

Thanks to everyone, I really will miss everyone and i am not saying never never again but for now I need to just concentrate on my stuff in the shop. I am going to cut out a lot of expenses and not because i need to, I really want to see if this floristry thang can make some decent money this year. My trade magazine is going also along with some other stuff that just does not "make" me money.

Mikey - you are dead right what you say about facebook, I am not giving that up but will certainly by spending much less time there. (and it is free lol)...

I love all my friends on flowerchat.... but at the moment sentiment is what has kept me here and it needs to be more than that. I am here because i love you all

If anyone wants to be my friend find me on facebook under paula forbes - i have a hat on in my pic. Pls put a message to say you are from here so i know who you are lol xxxxx

bye for now xx
