She's gorgeous Zing
Now remember the first few days matter, so whatever you decide to do now - stick to it, no matter how long she howls for. Talking specifically about sleeping arrangements. If she's staying in her own bed, remember she's just been taken from her mum so will be sad. If you don't want to share your bed with a 25kg staffie in 2 years time, stick to your guns now (god knows i wish i had  ). I'd advise you to get some earplugs
Lots of fun times ahead for you - staffie's have the best personalities out of all dog breeds IMO

dunno why that phrase sticks in my noggin, it is like the bonzo dog one
- I got home late, very late..
- what will I tell my wife? - darling I've been beaten up again ....
a punk stopped me on the street, he said "have you got a light mac"
- I said 'No, but I have a dark coloured overcoat'

She could go on for a while, but don't give in - it will pay off in the end

Lots of patience and perseverence needed too if she turns out to be destructive in her chewing phase when she gets a bit older. My retriever was an absolute nightmare and very adept at destroying carpets, skirting boards, furniture and pretty much anything if left alone for more than half an hour. Hopefully your staffie won't be too bad but be prepared!

Yeah she will soon learn I aint a soft touch lol still I spose its the most traumatic night she will have first night away  Still the mother was ready to get rid as she is looking quite thin and the poor things tets were quite bitten. When I first saw the pups the mother didnt want you near them now she wants to be out of their way

You can't put her in a shed! This is a stafford, they don't 'do' dog stuff. They are very human like and will happily sit in front of the fire with the TV on. They like to be part of the family, me thinks Zing is in for a shock

25Kg? Is that only half-grown then, or don't they get very big?  My mum's Bull Terrier isn't what I'd call big [not fat either], & she's around 35-40Kg I think.

Make sure you don't encourage her into it too much. You run the risk of her deciding that the shed is her territory, and not your house. If your house isn't in her territory, she may not guard it.
