THANKS FOR THE GREAT SEND OFF....

Hi Everyone,
Well i finally did it and took voluntary redundancy. I can't believe firstly that i've gone and secondly that they actually let me go !
THANK YOU all very much for the wonderful flowers, beautiful jewellery and cards.
What an afternoon and evening we all had? Firstly a slap up meal at Pizza Hut then off to The Old Joint Stock for too much alochol...Oh my god, what has happened to Fudge? He was so upset. I think all the changes in his personal life and the old team being broken up by the yanks had all finally caught up with him. I felt so sorry for him.
It was great to have so many people there...
Cookie...Pissed and happy and talking to his good lady wife on the phone whilst trying not to sound like he's out of his brain! I'll miss your farting, talking, belching, talking, ranting, talking about cycling and generally having an opinion on everything...just like me!
Gaz...Pissed far too quickly, devasted, broken. I'll miss you very much, you were a very fair boss, always looking out for us and looking after our backs...don't forget me if you ever need a PA if you move onto pastures new.
The Stang...Sober as a judge...looking back that was a good idea not to have a drink! I'll miss you making love to all the female customers over the phone and then wondering why you get stalked!
Ginger Surfer...My new boy. You make a lovely drunk! I'll miss your singing and your dry humour. Make sure you keep your spine straight!
Taoski...Even though you couldn't make it to my doo as you have a new job you were missed.
Thanks for being a great member of the ERM East team and fixing all that was thrown at you.

Today i've spent most of the day flower arranging for some reason !!!
I've also booked up an appointment with the Halifax to go over my finances. I then booked up with Learn Direct to enrole for the ECDL so i can prove i can use the MS Office Suite of Applications!

I hope that your heads don't hurt too much today and that The Stang has fielded all the calls away from you...I hope you've rememered to undivert my phone from Leeds!

See you at the next doo.... The Red Gypsy xxx

Fantastic! Nice review of the evening, and great pics.

We are already missing you, as the office is just not the same without you.

Best of luck with whatever you do, and you never know, you may end up shouting at us again in the future!

Love and kisses

'twas a great doo,
with more than a few surprise guests, I certainly enjoyed myself, and it seemed everyone else did too.

The office certainly won't be the same without you, and i can feel my spine getting worse allready! :(

Hope you enjoy your well deserved work break, and when you do decide to get back into the daily grind that it's with us again :)

Bless ya Wend'

Good luck n all that guff.

Gaz once made some (managerial inspirational) quote about him being (Sir) Alex Ferguson and me being the David Beckham of the section.

If that is true, then you would have to be Michael Owen, supplying me the balls that I scored with - just without the poorly knee!

I expect the chaps will be bored now without you.

lets all be honest - you were running the show. Without you we would have all been canned a long time ago.

You will have no problems finding another job - as you are excellent!

Just had an interesting chat with Jon Bundy, he was asking me about you Wendy and how you were doing etc.He then asked me who the "red head " was standing between Leon and Rob on cookies blog, when I said "its wendy" he said, no seriously who is it? At first I thought he was joking as I presumed he had seen pics of our favourite strawberry blonde, but he said "no I have never seen a pic" when I explained who it was he almost fell off his chair,then when I asked what he thought Wendy looked like I just pissed myself laughing and did fall off my chair! He thought (got to brace myself here) that Wendy was in her fifties with grey hair and glasses!!!

John Bundy thinks you're 50 and greying with glasses?

I thought that was me!
