So, this is it my lovely HP'rs the final post...I've purposely waited as today is the first day. I have no H P responsibilities, the rent and the final electricity bill have been paid and the keys have been handed over to the next occupant of 2 Normanton Lane. (CLS Travel, in case you were wondering). I've been asked on several occasions, if I feel sad at leaving HP behind, after all it was born out of my thoughts and ideas. Its kept me occupied for nearly 14 years and it, without question, made me get out of bed when my husband Stephen, died unexpectedly over 9 years ago, however it's you lovely lot that I'm going to miss, from the 'I've forgotten a Birthday', 'so and so is leaving, 'have you got anything for someone who's got everything', 'what candles have you got?', 'I've not come to see you, I've come to see shop security' to hearing the giggles as you went around the shop, reading the funny signs such as .....'I tried to be normal once, it was the worst 2 minutes of my life' or 'I'd like to help you out, which way did you come in' and finally your unwavering support when the legendary Christmas open night was on. You gave me and HP a chance, we've certainly had some fun, some giggles and I am more the richer for having you as friends, however it's time to take a step change and do something different, I'd really like to say more relaxing, but since I've chosen to train to become driving instructor, maybe not!!
Thank you from me and Shop Security, for being loyal, kind and above making the last 14 years an absolute hoot!! We will miss you ###
