Good luck Becca. I shall really miss your lovely friendly emails. You'll be missed. X

I spent most of my childhood at the donkey sanctuary due to family connections.
Top bit of advice, don't walk into a barn full of donkeys with a packet of polos in your pocket.

Noted!

I best be off then, I suppose.

Take care of yourselves and keep up the good work making this site the bizarre but wonderful place it is. Thank you again for being so bloody marvellous and giving me such a lovely send off today.

Bye bye everyone! Flowers

WellWhoKnew · 22/05/2016 17:59

Good luck! And thanks.

SagaNorensLeatherTrousers · 22/05/2016 18:00

Sorry I missed you before you've left! Good luck!

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 22/05/2016 18:01

Good luck Becca, sad you are going.

MyDobbygotgivenasock · 22/05/2016 18:01

Ahh, sad to see you go but so pleased you're moving on to something so great.

Do invest in some proper steel toecaps though, donkeys can be terribly passive aggressive and just when you think you've negotiated a situation they will make their point by 'accidentally' resting atop your squishy toes. Never patronise a Donkey, always say thank you and throw in a few rubs of their favourite spot and you'll have one of the best, most steadfast companions in the world. A donkey will always keep you out of trouble, of course the flipside to this is a donkey won't head into what they perceive as trouble come hell, high water or act of God. Very much like the difference between sheep and goats, you have to ask, don't tell. Well you could but then you'll get a physics lesson about immovable force, that kicks. They are truly underappreciated little marvels. I hope you have a wonderful rewarding time.

good luck Becca

you remind me of an actress friend who said to me "working with animals is no problem, it's working with people that's a problem"!!

enjoy!

WTF? I thought this only happened among people on the Tube!

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 22/05/2016 19:58

You will be sorely missed, Becca - the Donkey Sanctuary's gain is our loss.

Wishing you lots of happiness (and good biscuits) in the future.

ThanksWineChocolateCake

Many years ago, I stayed in a house which had a donkey in one nearby field and a cockerel in another.

My ears have never been the same since. Grin

paxillin · 22/05/2016 22:41

Oh no, I'll miss the charming emails in response to even the 7th moan about some unpalatable post on a Sunday night. Good bye and good luck Becca. Will you be allowed to register privately as BeccaExMumsnet?

RebeccaMumsnet · 22/05/2016 22:47

Sadly not as 'Mumsnet' in a NN is not allowed unless you're a HQer but we're sure Becca will be back with us under another guise soon Grin

They are some very lucky Donkeys and she'll be greatly missed.

LineyReborn · 22/05/2016 22:47

From revising with DS, I now know the diploid number of a donkey.

That is to be fair the only revision I did with DS.

Good luck, Becca, from the hive to the hooves.

paxillin · 22/05/2016 22:50

Actually, are you at HQ allowed private accounts on MN?

cozietoesie · 22/05/2016 22:51

'diploid number'? Go wash your mouth out with soap! Grin

paxillin · 22/05/2016 22:52

There should have been more of a warning, we would have filled a 1000 post thread for Becca with donkey pictures and love.
