Well as per title - I got a new job at an awesome company! I will have to get used to using Macs there, though.

On Tuesday I'm going to have to tell my boss that I'm leaving and agree an official end date. But I've not signed any contract yet with this new company.

Should I / is it normal to ask to sign a contract for the new job before I even give in my notice, or would you say the email + phone message from them is enough to secure my new job?

It's the first time I've made an important job move and I don't want anything going SNAFU, such as the new company backing out after I've handed in my resignation.
