We buy one of these...

If so, how did it go?

I have a good opportunity - more hassle as further away, but professionally it is the right move, it came to me as opposed to me actively looking.

So, I put my notice in yesterday. It did not go down at all well, tried to get me to change my mind, thinking a conversation would smooth things over. Think they regret notice being just a week, but that is not my problem.

First time and hopefully the last that I have put notice in to leave from a contract.

You seem to be in and out more than a sailor on port leave
