I am currently  doing my last stint on the library issue desk. This is because it's my last day at work! I finish at 12.15 today and I'm actually quite sad about it. Because of some members of staff coming in at half one we had a little farewell gathering yesterday instead. Margaret (who's my proper big boss, overseeing both the Crewe and Alsager library sites as opposed to Mazza who just manages Alsager) gave a little speech in the workroom and gave me a huuuge present off all the staff. She seemed genuinely sad to se me go as did many of the other staff. I know this because of the huge amount of presents I've been given! The big present off everybody was a wok! Which is very much appreciated, especially because me and James were saying how we needed one. It was Sarah's idea and she was going to get it on her day off but she was ill so apparently she sat with her feet up reading through the Argos catalogue and had to send her Mum out to get it! I also got individual gifts. Sarah got me a book called 'How to run your home without help' which is a reprint of a 1950's manual. She's told me about it before and it's so her. She also put her recipe for lemon curd on the inside. Yum yum. Jackie got me a cuddly monkey which has really long arms and legs and two pots of Pringles because she'd bought too many! Liz was feeling snap happy and took a picture of of the monkey round my neck. Speaking of Liz, she made me a dartboard with pictures of Peter and Jordan on! This amused me no end, especially because my favourite picture of them is in the middle, and on the flip side there are pictures of journals! Hehe, and I got proper darts too. I also got a homemade card from her and Jan B thanking me for all the work I'd done with the journals over the past year. Jan B also gave me her own card and some baking sheets. There's a theme going on here. Stella, rather impressingly, got me an apron with 'Stellar' written on it! Just so I won't forget her. And everybody had decorated my desk too. I'll put a picture up soon. I can't believe how many presents I got thinking about it. I didn't expect any at all but everybody seems genuinely sad to see me go. As am I really. I was stripping my desk of the tat I've stuck up (Kinder Egg toys on my computer, pictures on my pin board) for the past year this morning so it's all looking rather empty. But here's to my new job! Although there's still no news on the house :s Oh well, there's party snacks in the tea room to make up for it!

There isn't really any other news to report. I've ben catching up on my telly though. Ugly Betty and Desperate Housewives are keeping me amused :D I didn't say anything about Torchwood did I? Well the finale was very good although I really which they'd got rid of Owen and overall the show was a bit patchy, hitting some really low lows. But all the man on man kissing in the last episodes made up for it! 

Have I not been doing anything else? Hmmm, clearly not.

While I was on my break James rang me up and said that we've got our house! Hooray! Lovely Holly the Dangermouse estate agent said that she'd try and get it all sorter for Saturday. I'd better get packing hadn't I?! I've now finished work and all my desk has been tidied out. It looks so empty and sad. Here's to the rest of my day off though, oh, and my new life!
