Morning allCongrats on the job @BlueJ94
As for the resignation letter, just write a that you are giving notice (from the date on the letter) that you will be leaving the company's employment. Check your employment contract if you aren't sure how much notice you need to give. No need to go into a lot of detail. If they ask why, just state that you want to pursue other opportunities. They may offer inducements to try to get you to stay, as you have been there for some time and it is hard to get staff in some areas. But it is up to you whether you leave or stay, your choice.
Well, I have been coughing all night, and feel wiped out, so I guess I now have the plague. Needless to say my case is not nearly so serious as OH'sBut at least I can stop disinfecting everything and sleeping in the spare room in an effort not to catch it! So, no long list for me today. I will do a load of washing, sort out the fridge and cook something for dinner, and that will be it!

Take care @ziggy2407, hope you are better soon xxI am in the grip of covid, and haven't done anything much, as I feel awful. Thank goodness for all the jabs, and the fact that this variant is less likely to lead to hospitalisation. OH is a couple of days ahead of me (though still poorly), so has been a big help.DD dropped off a few items at the front door yesterday, and we won't be going out / mixing with others until properly better.0
