Thanks for the good wishes guys, we are still in shock but worse than that I've now got to go to work when I'd rather stay at home celebrating.
Looks like handing in my notice on Monday was the best thing I could have done

Maybe your CO listened to the wind-up and took pity on you.
I'd love to see Mrs R's colleague's face when she tells him..!!
And good timing with Mr R handing in your notice this week... don't you just love it when a plan comes together..!!
ATB,
Rogue.
