And suddenly I am singing in the hills of Austria.
Ha.
In all seriousness I am now here to say my goodbyes (if anyone is even still following this blog). I think it is pretty clear that I don’t intend on posting here anymore and WordPress just sent me an invoice to renew my domain and I was all like “why the hell would I be paying that” and turned off the auto renew function.
So in around a month they will steal back my domain name and I’m assuming this blog will be no more.
It’s been fun kids. I’ve loved meeting you all and sharing your stories. Thank you SO much for reading mine. But now it’s time to take mine away and settle for boring my neighbour with them.
I will probably start blogging again in the future but at a different place where the blog reflects where I am at with my life now. It just doesn’t seem to fit in this house anymore. I need a new house but the market isn’t working for me right now. It is a task for future me, I think.
Thanks for always keeping it real with me peeps. Wishing you all the reward of a new hello, right when you need it.
kisses

I’ve been waiting for you to reappear, but now you’re disappearing again!! I am sad to see you go. I loved your posts – refreshing, honest and funny!! Are you working on something else or just having a break? Best of luck with everything. You’ve been fab xx
Oh man you guys are making me all regretful about my decision. You have such nice things to say about my writing. Thank you! I have actually been so busy working it has been crazy. The irony is that I am shutting a lot of my work stuff down to de-stress my life (have been battling secondary infertility for quite some time now) which means I probably do have time to post again, however I don’t seem to have the inclination anymore. I’m sure it will come back one day. Thank you so much for following my blog and stopping by to say goodbye. I will stop by your blog from time to time and say hello xx
Agreed!!! Miss seeing you on here! Sad to see you go :(.
Thank you. I can’t believe I have missed all the updates and joy of holding your little bubba in your arms after your long road. I will have to go and have a squiz before I shut down completely. Thank you so much for following my blog while I was here. 🙂 x
Yeah, I wish you weren’t going! I’ve enjoyed your posts and would love to see you come back to this space some day if it feels right for you
Thank you so much! I am stoked that you even remember posts it has been so long! I will write again I’m sure. I just have to find the place where inspiration sits. I hope you and little Evie keep on having fun together. x
This sucks. Thank you so much for supporting my blog when it was in its bumbling infancy. Thank you so much for your hilarious and thought-provoking posts. And thank you in advance for your future incarnation of Mummy Flying Solo. *fingers crossed*
Honey I supported your blog because you are hilarious and a fabulous writer so thank YOU for entertaining me. You know I still sniff around your blog and facey page so you will be sure to get a message again when I am writing for realsies. Now you have hit the big time you will have to intro me to all your blogging besties 😉 xx
Oh dear, wishing you all the best x
Thank you 🙂
Madam, it has been a pleasure following your blog. Best of luck with whatever you’re planning to tackle next up. Just remember to keep up your running and keep away from the magpies! So long, madam.
Oh JD you were one of my few male followers. Thank you! I have been somewhat distracted from running of late with a few troubles trying to create new life and all but I have decided that once this stage has passed I will be training for a half and then if that goes well a full marathon. Thank you for the inspiration!
I was wondering if you would go back to the blog indeed, since I noticed you didn’t post anymore. But it was really nice reading in that stage of your life. I assume you have stored your content somewhere? Great memories! Speak to you soon Rachael!
You know what, I haven’t stored my content but maybe I should. Good thinking. Will research how to make that happen. Hey we should skype soon!
Mummy, you were with me since the start. There’s a hole in my heart where your blog lives. I’ll miss you very, very, much.
Do you have a blog email account. If so tell me and I will email you somewhere else you can find me that is a bit secret. X
I have one of those too. But you can find me by my real name now. Surprisingly, it is not actually Naptimethoughts.
Hahaha oh how I have missed your funny! So pleased that we have reconnected. I need to get me some more of that shiz.
Farewell Friend!
Bye bye! I loved your blog. Going to track it down under my secret alias.
Bye Hun xxxx
xx See you round lovely
So glad I get several other social media venues to stalk you on. 🙂
xoxo
hehe yes for some it isn’t really goodbye at all. Just goodbye to where I write halfway entertaining blogs. 😉 xx
That last “meme” (is that what those are called—I’ve no idea), anyhow, it spoke to me. I loved it. Thanks for this blog, and I wish you joy, peace, and happiness. Terri
Oh I am not up on what is a meme either Terri but let’s go with that. I’m glad you enjoyed it, whatever it’s called. I loved it too. Goodbye to chatting on this blog but we still cross paths xx
Yes. Yes. And LOL!!!!!!!
Sorry to see you go! Will you keep the other blog going?
Yes my little secret space is still alive. Hope you are doing well!
I am super grateful for this blog, because without it, you wouldn’t have come into my life. Moving on is exactly the right step, at the exact time you make that decision. I will follow you to the ends of the blogging-earth, so I hope you grace us all with something in the future. Much love and hugs MFS xxxx
Thanks lovely. Such a beautiful message! I am so grateful for all the connections it has brought me too. Hey my brother and his wife are going to be moving to London for his work in 12 mths or so which means we will head over to visit sometime. Guess what that means for us?! We can finally have that cuppa 🙂 It is awhile away yet but it will happen. Xx
Ahhhh, that will be so amazing!! I can’t wait!!!!
Xxxxx
I was just thinking about your blog the other day, wondering where all your adventures were taking you… In particular, the one you wrote about bonding with baby was really touching and something a lot of parents I’ve spoken to don’t hear enough about. Thank you for being so brave to share, it’s something so many people really appreciate (and I’m not even a mum!) I know you’ll only do more excellent things when the time is right, so keep it up however it comes 🙂
Ah yes the bonding with baby one. I never did get around to writing the follow up post to that. Maybe in my next blogging life 🙂 Thx for always reading. You are a doll x
I’ve been wondering about you! Please do let us know once you have decided to blog again! All the best! Hugs and kisses to the little one! xoxo
Thx lovely. Same to you xx
I just found your blog today! Good luck on your new endeavours! From Canada!
Thank you 🙂
