Short Day
We have been allowed to go home earlier today because of the coming Bank Day. Today's working day is shorter than usual ones, we are working till 4 pm. But as I have said, we have finished earlier.
Men of our department have congratulated us with International Women's Day, and have given us flowers. Then we have got tea with a cake.
Please, check it. I am wondering if I need to use present perfect for all actions taking place today?
Thank you.

Great work! I think it reads better using the past simple, as most actions are at a definite time in the past. I haven't changed the first one, as it is you in the present introducing a past action (there is a clear link between the two). Does that make sense? I love bank holidays :) Caroline
