Thanks for the best wishes chaps! Much appreciated.

Peter - unfortunately I very much doubt there is any chance of gardening leave..... :worried: :worried: Whilst the job is a virtual 'copy and paste' of mine, the new company is not in the same sector and so is not seen as a competitor. Even if they were, I doubt if I would get it. You may recall from my previous thread about the qualification I got last year, that I work in financial crime in FS. Well I am the company's only expert on the topic and so if I go off even earlier than my notice period they will be stuck!


Thanks again chaps!!

Congratulations on the new job, hope it all works out for you...
Mine was the opposite - when to actually stop work and finally retire...
My last boss was a great guy, way past retirement age and could always be found in the yard using the powerwash to wash down your truck and trailer, and always dressed in shorts, T shirt and flip flops... When the company he was sub contracting to sold him down the drain he had to basically start again. As I was local I was asked to stay on and run the a/ole companys trucks into the ground - when you are owed over a quater of a million I could not blame him... And so the converstation went something like this...
Will you hang on for a few weeks and get this c.... (trucks) back to the lease agents when they ask for them and do any local work I can find for your truck (mine was a top range lease truck), Local by the way meant Spain, Italy etc...
OK said I...
Good, then I can now stop the accountant paying you and put you on the books (no wonder my wages were always good).
And so retirement date came and went, unfortunately the boss died and his son took over, who again was a great guy to work for.
The business built up, work was flowing in and I was hardly home, and the money improved greatly...
Three years after my retirement date we came to a bank holiday and out of the blue I decided that on the following Tuesday I would finally retire following a discusion with him - but for the next three years I still ran loads out of the country for him, but on a casual basis when in the end I really had got it out of my system...
So I can understand your need for change, I have worked for some shockers and could not wait to be rid of them, but the money was the holding point and I thought I would never move on, but I did....

Thanks Mike. That's a great story. As I think I said before, if it had not been for my boss (who is also a good friend) I would have walked a long time ago.

I hope it works out too!
