I handed my notice in today

Good for you ?

I'll use him for you. ?

Thank you!

I feel really pleased and looking forward to having some life back.

Wohoo, excellent. So when does the new job start?

? Good to hear Doughnut, good riddance to all that travelling! What is your new job doing (same thing, IT training?) and tell me it's closer to home...

Great news! When do you start your new job?

I start on 5th Jan, and start my Masters on 7th Jan.

I'd love to say it's a better job but the money is rubbish as it's NHS. I'm taking a 30% pay cut, selling my nice shiny BMW but will have more time at home and be a lot happier, although I won't have any money to spend, ever ?

I can move up though I guess, and you get 2 payrises a year, whereas here we don't get anything, and I think it will be pay cuts in the new year.

Don't know the history, but sounds like you feel, lighter and freer so YAY for you

Erm, are you happy about the change in your life then?

?

Sounds like the lifestyle changes will outweigh the financial ones, so good luck to you ?

Congratulations! Here's to more time at home and being happier ?

So long as you can pay the bills I'd take happiness over more pay any day of the week. Well done to you ?

Ooh congrats Doughnut, goodbye travelling miles and being stuck in traffic day in day out! Why do you have to wear a dress though? ?

It's a good feeling, isn't it Doughnut! I reckon that enjoying your work is worth a great deal, and if you can earn less, pay your bills and still enjoy life then that's a great combination!
