I haven't yet written about this, but Thursday night was my last shift at Debenhams. After 9 months I handed in my notice two weeks ago, and now i am unemployed. At the time it seemed like a good idea, i do need the weekends free next year, and a job where i can get more shifts in the week, which i can't get at Debenhams. Several other good friends at work were leaving or have left in the last few months, and another good friend is going in September to uni so i handed my notice in. Since then however, a relationship has become slightly more.. intense with a girl at work. We like each other, and when i handed my notice in there wasn't really anything and she told me she was going to do the same in the next few weeks. Anyway, in those 2 weeks there have been work nights out, and we've been through a lot, and her mum has told her she is not allowed (??) to leave Debenhams, which i cannot believe because she's 18! Anyway because of this over the last week and particularly the last few shifts she has been begging me to stay. I feel bad leaving now but its all been done, i even had a leaving do last Tuesday along with Ann and Annette who are also leaving, and i got a card signed by everyone and a chocolate thing with my name on!
Anyway, i have been sworn to keep in touch with many of the work people, and i genuinely will try my best to, but I'm not sure if I've done the right thing. I wasn't enjoying the work, but the social side was really good and I made loads of friends who i am starting to miss already. I'm literally taking any excuse to pop in, i did yesterday and now my reference is being posted to me, and i was telling them about all this stuff going on with the police. I also could have done with the money this summer..

Anyway, i saw a new bar opening in Warrington yesterday, called Rain just off Bridge St. so i rang up and left a message about being a glass collector when it opens and then barman when I'm 18 in January.. its less than 200 days away, i cannot wait!!
