    Handed notice ( and had a great chat ),with a lady in the pensions/wages / personnel dept.
    Monday is the day I will see the 'proper ' hr / boss / personnel
    Told a couple of people . Most of the company will know next week.

    Congratulations on all fronts AC, now have a night off, forget everything if you can, and start afresh tomorrow morning.


    Start with making a list of headings of all you really need to do (not just would like to do but need), under the headings ways of achieving that particular goal (the suggestions we have given here may be a good starting point).


    Then start working through them with phone calls, appointments etc., above all don't panic, there's help and support available both here and from your friends in Poole.

    Great stuff, well done for holding your nerve :beer:
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    And don't forget to start the list with Make List, so you can tick one thing off immediately.

    So pleased for you - presumably it hasn't properly sunk in yet.

    I love you all:)

    More later when I'm off the train

    Brilliant news!

    I've been off work with a terrible cold this week and feeling very sorry for myself, but your diary has kept me riveted - its much better than the dreadful daytime TV.
