Last night eight of us from work went for a meal with a young lady called Sinead who has now left. She actually isn't one of the redundancies she was going anyway and is moving back to her native Ireland.
Last night was paid for by the company but many of us also went out with Sinead last friday in what can only be described as an eventfull night.
Sinead is a really nice person and easy to get on with, she was also a regular at many of our works night outs and I reckon she'll miss the gang a little. At work she was in charge in some of our laboratories on site and was popular among her workers, she had to be she has a cute pretty face.
For the meal last night we went to a small family run Italian restaurant called Valentino's which is in village called Riccall between Selby & York.
The people who were there last night including myself & Sinead represented a few different departments were Andrew M(Plant Manager), Phil (Chief Chemist), Andrew H(Safety Manager), Diane (Human Resources), Vicky (Accounts), Samantha (Sales) & Sue (Reception),
For the meal I can't tell you what its proper name was but I had Sirloin cooked in a Gorgonzola and cream sauce it was superb. I also had a starter (Pate) which was also excellent but I didn't bother with a Sweet. Between us we also downed some beer a few bottles of wine and some shots so a good night was had by all.
One regret last night I forgot my camera so no photo's to post, I actually gave Sinead my blog address so maybe she'll keep in touch.
Obviously with all the redundancies happening over the next few months (some people are staying on for de-commisioning and training) I should be attending plenty more leaving do's.

Ooh I love steak with gorgonzola! It is one of the cheeses you aren't supposed to have when pregnant so I am definitely looking forward to it when I can start eating it again!
P.S. send me your mailing info:)
Your dinner sounded great, glad you had a great time. It's sad when collegues leave work, we have had a few lately and I miss them already - it's like losing one of the family sometimes.
Airliebird,
Yes - Onwards and Upwards
