Hi all,
Just wanted to comment on whats happening and offer some insight into what will happen in the future.
Firstly, thanks to all for your support so far. It is, of course, hugely appreciated and I can't thank you all enough for the supportive comments and constructive criticism that has been offered.
Without going into too much detail, developments at work mean that as of Monday morning I will be shipped out of the country for a few weeks to observe what my new role will entail. Once I'm back I will have to undergo a training course that will last between 2-4 weeks. As it stands this should be starting on the 22nd December (Goodbye Christmas). After this I will start my new role, with on the job training lasting another 4 weeks or so. During this time I will be busy, although thankfully I'll be back to my original schedule, and this is when I will start working on Sophie once again.
I'll keep you all updated and let you know once things have resumed. Apologies for the delay.
Oh, and BTW, Sophie isn't exactly happy about the whole situation...
