Talk to the client and see if they will let you leave early. If not use your notice period.
I'm all for finishing a contract, however you're a business and need to look after your own interests.Comment

See if one of the clients will allow 100% WFH during the overlap, then work at the other client's location. Double bubble.
Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment

By way of an update, my old dev mgr is keen to get me and this other guy on board so we've agreed to do 15 hours a week (evenings and weekends) until we free up to come on board full time on the 1st July, we both know the application and domain inside out so rather than ramp up 2 new devs he's happy enough to go with this for 6 weeks or so, the next 6 weeks billing extra £££ is going to come in very handy
