Wednesday the 12th was my last day and my leavers meal. It was emotional. My best friend Hayley and I shared tears when she left at 3pm, even though we were seeing each other 3 hours later. To not see her every day is going to be so hard. I know we will never lose contact. We went from thinking that we didn't like each other and hardly talking, to inseparable. I know she will be reading this as she's a beauty/fashion junkie also and she's just lovely and loyal that she would read her best friends blog. She wrote so many nice things in my card that made me cry. I'm so glad I met her.
Another close friend that I will miss is Clare. I worked with Clare at Boots for 2 years and then when I left, she left and came to work with me again. It's going to be weird not seeing her all the time. She wrote in my card "It's not every day that you get to work with your best friend" which I totally agree with and which made me cry. Luckily we all have the same group of friends so I will always be seeing her, and we are going on holiday next year together for our other friends wedding.
Chris sadly couldn't make my leavers meal but Chris, Hayley and I have all become really close and he refers to us as "His Angels." I'm going to miss the games the three of us used to play. Hopefully, one day we will all get to work together again as I miss him so much already. He got me the amazing present of tickets to Clothes Show Live in December which also features Britain and Ireland's next top model live. I can't thank him enough. There's also everyone else that I will miss, Lawrence (who I called Flow) we always used to share lovely hugs and have a laugh together so I will really miss that! Stewart who worked next door but have come close with, luckily he lives across a field from me! And then Bridget, Janis, Carol, Aaron. Mark and Jane who were my managers and who were lovely. My sister Viv also worked with me. Obviously I see her all the time, but it was nice working with her and I will definitely miss that.
I wasn't expecting anything from anyone but was blown away by the kindness of everyone there.
These gorgeous Lillies were from everyone. They are lovely and smell divine!
The lovely Roses and gifts above are from Hayley. The roses are so pretty have have glitter all over them. The stunning bracelet is from Thomas Sabo. I can't believe she spent so much on me and I'm very grateful. Although I'm at home wearing my pj's, I'm still wearing it because I love it so much. I always love a notebook and this one is really cute! And you can never go wrong with chochlates!
I love all of these jewelry pieces above from Clare. She knows my style off by heart. I will wear these all the time.
The lovely Carol got me these bath bits. We always spent our time swapping books and talking about them and looking through our Avon goodies and our favorite bath products. I can't wait to have a nice relaxing bath using these lovely goodies.
Bridget got me these and she was dead on! I love anything with dragonfly's and pink. I can't wait to wear them. They are both so pretty.
Lawrence got me the funny hair clip with medicine capsules on it. I said that whenever I see it I'll think of him. It always makes me laugh.
I can't believe how many people signed my card. I know everyone leaves their jobs all the time and it's life to close a chapter and start a new one, but I will honestly miss it there so much. I keep thinking "Have I made a mistake?" but I know deep down I haven't. I have to think of my future and trying to get there. So, wish me luck on my new chapter. And I wish you all the best in yours! I hope I haven't bored you too much. Have a great weekend everyone!
