would love status to change to unconditional as that will mean one thing of to do list! 3 months is a long notice period - do you have any holiday you can take towards the end? Are you collegaues aware you are leaving or will it be a shock?
Wow work cut out for you then!! Ha ha. I'm lucky enough to be in London already so just need to move across the city a bit, have been looking at flats in the Wanstead/South Woodford area but concerned my girlfriend may have a bit of a trek every day as she is based in Green Park. Where you looking to rent?

I do have some holiday left but wouldn't mind getting paid for it rather than taking it at the end, I figure that every penny has to help towards 4 years of Uni. It'll be quite a shock to work lot, i've had the standard "i'm thinking about maybe looking at other careers" conversation with my boss but Medicine hasn't come up and he just thinks i'm after a pay rise!! I don't think they really understand the whole concept of wanting to "care for others" here, nice bunch but far too money money money obsessed!! I'm very much looking forward to not being in that world any more.
