Hi all. Today is our last day at our current jobs and our last night in Sydney, we are VERY excited! My boss just gave me a big bottle of lovely expensive hand cream as a leaving present, as she has been so grateful for what I've done (I think she's mad, I haven't really done a lot!) She wanted to buy me something luxurious and thought of hand cream as I'll need it after working on the farms - How very sweet of her. Last Friday, one of the guys here had a l...
