In a pickle

I have been at my job for 3 months now. I really enjoy it but I had the opportunity to move away but decided to stay with my mum.
I still feel like I want to go but my friend put his neck on the line to get me the job. So I am worried about him. I want to move away and have a fresh start as there is nothing here keeping me, but obviously with only 3 months at this job on my CV, I don't know how employers will see this. Should I leave it out of my CV bearing in mind that if I do that, there will be a 2 year gap between my last job and the one I'm going for or should I include it and explain that the job didn't fit with me?

Don't even THINK of moving unless you have a definite job to go to; by the time this happens you may well have spent far more than 3 months in your present job. Even when doing any current job applications it'll look far better for employers to see that you've actually held a job for 3 months, rather than being unemployed for over 2 years.0

Very sensible advice. I can understand restlessness but don't act in haste.Value-for-money-for-me-puhleeze!
