Resignation went horrifically

She sounds very irrational, this is a professional matter, not personal. It is not standard practice to tell your current employer you are interviewing with another, what if you hadn't got the job?

I'm not sure if you can get out of the notice period you signed up for. Does your company have a union or HR department? Does your boss have a boss? It seems like you could do with some support dealing with her behaviour.

I'd second the advice to work only your contracted hours and to your contracted duties. Have you been clear about your last day at work? If not put this in writing. Don't consider working any longer than your notice period.
Do you have any leave you could take to make the next 3 months more bearable? Of course this would be at the discretion of your employer but if she won't have it, make sure you're paid for it when you leave.
You might also want to consider a word with your new employer, maybe just in the course of any discussion about your new job start date etc, that your current employer is 'disappointed' that you're leaving and that the atmosphere is difficult, just in case she takes it upon herself to bad mouth you to them.
Good Luck

Good luck in your new job, I have experience of a manager getting all bent out of shape when you resign.

As has been said you're contracted for 37 hours. Explain (politely lol) that she can either have someone working those 37 hours p/w for the next 3 months doing only what you are obliged to do - or someone working as hard as you always have, for the next 6 weeks - her choice.

I agree with this...

Is your new employer aware of the 3 month notice period? Was the job offer conditional on receipt of an acceptable reference?

Is there anything in your current contract that limits your move to a customer?

Have you any annual leave due to you that you can take towards the end of the notice period?

Good luck.

In a situation like this, I'd be telling the new employer that the old one had taken it badly and 'lost it' a bit; I'd turn the phone/computer on at my start time, off at lunch, and definitely off at 'home time'.

It was never going to be easy but you absolutely have to let your new boss know that it hasn't gone well. And note everything down that she says/does/emails you so that if you need it, it's there.

Do not agree to leave early if you do you give up your notice pay.

work to rule be positive and coopertative.

hand over as much of everything to other ASAP, any dealing with clinet need handing over be aware of the situation on if you can tell people you are moving on.

If some of the clients are competitors of your new job they may not be happy working with you as you have a conflict of interest thta may need to be disclosed.

If she does ask you to leave agree to PILON.

Check your comtract carefully for any clause relatting to working elswhere etc.

warn the new boss there may be issues.

Think about offering to prepare if this is possible, copies of the companies process proceedures employment contract staff handbooks etc. bit no actual work.

That way you can get upto speed.
