- The initial term is over and you are negotiating an extension but no agreement can be reached.
- The client or agency have broken their end of the contract in some critical way, such as payment.
- You are working for a manager/team so incompetent or political that they are preventing you from getting work done, and you would be much more productive in a different environment. (Here you would still give notice I think.)
- A genuine personal emergency of your own.
I don't think any of these apply to your case.

Of course I am no suity like contracting idiot, I am off as soon as they waggle a contract in front of me but what would you do? Out of interest.
Just to add a litle bit of humour the 2 places are right next door to each other.

What I wouldn't do is to claim stress and get a sick note.
