My contract says I only have to give one month’s notice, but I wanted to tell them earlier – mainly so they had plenty of time to hire my replacement. Now I can openly talk about the move and it feels really weird!
This is a big step and means that we can start actually planning things properly. My last day at work will be about 10 days before we actually leave, so I can be doing all the things that have to be left to the last minute (e.g. cleaning, getting rid of my car, dealing with the removal men).
Anyway, between now and then, there’s plenty to be doing. Our next couple of weekends are pretty busy, but then we have to start dealing with the flat. We’re planning to rent it out, so we need to arrange a company to manage it for us, plus doing all the repainting and fixing wee things that you have to do before a move.
71 days to go.
