I've not seen a sentence end like that. I am assuming the 明日仕事だ is exactly that, 'Tomorrow, there's work', and if I'm right...what is the もんね? This friend was female...
Great. We're finally talking "real" speech instead of textbook sentences.

Both もん and ね are sentence-ending particles. もん is the colloquial pronunciation of もの, which is the "dictionary" form of the particle.

ものね is a casual way of describing a reason. (And since it's casual, it's almost always pronounced もんね.)  I don't know what the context was but 明日仕事だもんね would most often be used as the reply to a statement like "I have to go to bed soon."

So, it means something like "Right. You've got work tomorrow."
