Punch him, moan about it on here a bit, deffo send an invoice for notice period, claim JSA, sit at home watching jeremy kyle, moan on here a bit more, post crap on here a bit more, upset NLUK again.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist
Hi, I approached the director of the company iv been working for (3yrs) to give notice of my intention to move on -blah, blah, blah - the announcement was made iv left!!
So you got what you went in for? And possibly even faster than you'd hoped, presumably you have a reasonable war-chest after three years and something to go to in a month or so (hence you wanted to give notice?) so you now have Christmas with the family.
Send the director a bottle of scotch to thank him.

Potentially he can hit the agency for notice pay, depends on the terms.

Regardless though - your contract is a legal document. Your client cannot simply terminate it on the spur of the moment for no reason. They can issue you notice and say there's no work, or they can march you out if YOU have broken the contract.
If they do things in the wrong way they could be legally liable, just as you could be if you simply didn't come in rather than exercising your MOO clause.
