    I handed in my notice on Friday, and sacked the nanny today. I'm going to have a few months off with my son and get my priorities straight.

    Good for you.

        +1. Benched a bit last year but I watched my new born daughter grow up, time you can't get back.

        Good luck.

        I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

              Yep - doing the same myself. Initial offer of 3-monther was canned so I am done end of July and will NOT be looking for another one.
              Delighted to be getting off this one, need to recharge and get my head straight.
              I am telling no-one about being available and if one does pop-out I am set to tell them August is now a write off for work, how is September ?
              Course - I will now be benched for 4 months, but hey-ho, I have had a good run for a while !

                Well done, I am very jealous.
                I wouldn't mind the summer off myself, but I've been renewed until end of Sep.
                No doubt, I will be taking the winter off.
