OMG I've done it!!!!!!
Ive told work im leaving 
Was actually easier than I thought it was going to be, after almost 4 years I didnt think i'd have the bottle considering I dont hate my job or my Company, in fact its the best place i've ever worked. My Manager was very supportive and HR are currently looking into the option of taking a sabatical although im not holding my breath but it would be nice.
For those who dont yet know, although most of my friends already do, I will shortly be moving to Spain!
Final moving dates depends on me and how soon I can tie up loose ends.
Lots of reasons for going, both personal and for career development.
Phew......... feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders

It's just a very big step to live and work abroad on a permenant basis, and I think there's a lot you'll miss.
Who wants a slower pace of life at 26?

Good luck with it.
Definately an oppurtunity not to be missed!
It's close enough to be able to come home on a cheap flight if you need to see family for a weekend or something too =)

Good luck - and dont start smoking again!
It was hard for me to leave the UK but it was a good move. I have alot better appreciation of what a great place Britain is now

John, I will be living in Fuengirola on the Costa Del Sol and probably initially working for an English Company. The details are still to be confirmed so I cant really say too much at the moment.
I will eventually probably do some kind of Office Management or I quite fancy Car or Apartment Rentals. Plenty of good work available with my experience
Cant wait
Downside is work are not able to offer me a sabaticle, so it involves me leaving the Company
Keith, are you sure??? Have you seen the cost of living in the UK recently? The smoking thing does worry me somewhat I must admit.
