London one-way!

On Saturday night I had the best going away party ever! Clare and Sam organised it, going out to dinner at Sofias in Wheelers Hill, then up to this dingy bar called the Scarab Beetle (which actually turned out to be really fun) and where else would you end such a night but at the 24-hour Pancake Parlour in Doncaster. I have to say thanks heaps to Laura and Stef, the designated drivers for the night! I had an absolute blast! Thanks so much Clare and Sam! Love yous heaps!

Stef, Carly and Rob came for dinner, and the rest of us all went out after, Clare and Sam, Grant and I, Michael and Laura, Stef and Brenna, and Chloe joined us at the PP.

I thought all the festivities were over and it was back to work this week, minus the crutches, but Bel was adament yesterday to fill my last Olivia shadowing shift with “behavioural strategies” for the new carer down at Interchange at 4.30, no earlier. Little did I know, waiting in the training room were all the Flexicare and Rec girls and four of my favourite families – they had organised a surprise going-away party for me!!!

Thanks so much guys, I love my little beanie teddy (believe it or not it’s the first one I’ve ever received!!!) and his bandaged ankle was just oh so cute! I don’t know why but when I wrote that the name Phillip came into my head, so he will now be known as Phil. And to Cathy and Ashley and Michael, (and I wish Martin could have been there too – but for a Grade 5er he prolly had many more important things to be doing like practicing his English!) thankyou for the gorgeous travel diary which I’ve decided to use on my travels out of London (especially can’t wait to take on Greece :-)). And to Dominique and Chantelle for the gorgeous cuddlebuddy, that if I could have had my way I would’ve just taken Chantelle’s with me, although she personalised mine with a lovely mouthmark – I wouldn’t have it any other way! And Lauren please tell Jordi not to give away any more of my secrets such as what I do when I drive the buses 🙂 he gives a great hug though! More than the gifts I have to say the words in all your cards were so sweet and kind, and I can’t imagine my life without Interchange and the positive impact that all of you, families and friends, have had on my life.
