Well really it was a surprise yesterday, but I didn't get home til late last night ;o) Yesterday was the last day in my old job after more than 5 years and I was surprised with some lovely pressies from my colleagues, who had to practically coral me to the presentation and tie me to my desk... (I go walkies a lot ;o) )
Now I get to work out how I want to spend £30 at the Art Store, £40 at Mandors, and £20 at B&Q. Although I do have a little craft to keep me busy while I ponder:
Now I'm thinking of getting dressmaking fabric from Mandors, as they're much better at that than the paltry quilting section, so what do I *need* to make?
It sounds like your work colleagues did you proud! It is so nice to be able to treat yourself!
ReplyDeleteHave fun spending your vouchers!
ReplyDeleteYou are obviously well thought of! Enjoying spending! Jxo
ReplyDeleteHave fun spending your vouchers. I don't what Mandors is so I'm thinking we don't have them in the south.
ReplyDeletewhat lovely gifts, have fun spending them
ReplyDeleteExcellent gifts, I bet your colleagues are sad to see you go...
ReplyDeleteI am not struck on Mandors quilting section much, but enjoy your dilemma anyway and good luck in the new job, you starting Monday?
ReplyDeleteWow nice pressies! Nice of them to think of the fabric for you - why not make a nice dress or tunic - the Washi and Ashland patterns are both lovely x
ReplyDeleteSounds like you scored big time. Good for you. Enjoy, Oma Linda
ReplyDeleteLol! That bear key chain set is brilliant! Have fun spending your vouchers :o)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you scored! Have fun spending it all! :)
ReplyDeleteHow thoughtful of your coworkers sounds like you will be missed!! Have fun with the bear key chain it looks a little tough ;)
ReplyDeleteHow well they know you!
ReplyDeleteWhy is it then you learn how appreciated you are when you are leaving - enjoy spending!
ReplyDeleteThey would probably have paid anything to get rid of you always blabbing on about your crafts!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI dont know what any of those stores are but Im assuming its all craft and sewing related. I'd be off to the shops to buy a whole load of new stuff ...Glad you got a little bit spoiled. You deserve it.
ReplyDeleteDo you have any time off between this job and the next one?
Congrats on your last day! You have some awesome co-workers to give you such lovely parting gifts.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! Shopping without the guilt of spending the grocery money. :0)
ReplyDeleteAw, how nice! That's so nice of your work buddies!
ReplyDeleteIt's nice that they care about you. Great pressies, happy purchasing.
ReplyDeleteOoh, what nice co-workers! :)
