 Good for you. Shorter commute is so very, very important in terms of quality of lifeKajiKita said:
 Offer received informally by 7.10am this morning whilst on the phone to the recruiter! Formal offer letter received by 2pm. Acceptance sent and resignation submitted by 2.30pm - the latter part of this was the hardest I have ever done as I like (most of) the people and my boss and in many ways it is a lovely site / company. My boss's reaction was an interesting one - he immediately started writing detailed notes about what I call the hygiene factors; better pension, flexible working, better holidays for new starters etc.
 Offer from the new role is £52K p.a. with a £5K car allowance (he's done this to make up my wage). It's not a life changing salary but it is enough and I am happy with it

            Thanks @redofromstart, @teapot2, @Watty1, @dawnybabes, @~FlowerPot~, @Cheery_Daff, @Sallyforth (that’s how it has felt to me), @skint_spice, @debtfreewannabe321, @Brewerspride, @CCW007, @savingholmes, @beanielou, @greenbee, @SandyShores, @PennysIntoPounds, @Willow1983, @Humdinger1 (many of the things that have tipped me into leaving - pension, lack of flexible hours, limited holiday etc. are not within the site manager’s control it turns out), @Baileys_Babe, @Twolabsandacat 😊
 As so many of you have said, the shorter commute will make a massive difference. 😊
 I slept so well last night. I absolutely crashed after the drop in tension 😊
 And in other nice news ….
 There is beautiful viburnum outside the potting shed which is like a cloud of bloom and smells amazing 🤩 ❤️
