    Thanks KC :j Managed to calm dkwn enough by 4pm to actually write my resignation letter but that's pretty much all the work I've done today :rotfl:

    So - last day 17th Dec :j so 35 working days left :eek: Lots to do! :eek: Some stuff I'll be carrying into new job so not just about finishing off in a straightforward way, but new job will be a LOT busier at certain times (and quieter at others) so need to be prepared :D

    Soooooooo excited :D Me and Mr Cheery going out for tea to celebrate :D

    They're ringing tomorrow with starting salary... trying to get hard nosed negotiating head on in case they try to offer me pay cut on the basis of how excited I was this morning :o :rotfl:
  • Hey lovely I'm just so chuffed for you xxxxx

    Thank you lovely ladies, still can't quite believe it! :j :j :j

    New boss rang again today - said 'do you still want to come and work for us?' :eek: Yes of course I do!! :eek:

    Was all prepared to do salary negotiating but straight off he offered me £1200 a year more than I'm on now so didn't really feel the urge :rotfl: :D:D

    So between that, the lack of commuting costs, and working 5 days a week instead of 4, we should be over £500 a month better off :eek: :eek: :eek: :j :j :j

    :D

    Won't lose much between jobs either - this one finishes 31st dec officially and next one starts 4th Jan so only 3 days :j :j Although last day in the office is 17th Dec - 38.5 working days to go!! :D
