Hello again folk.
So, to update you guys...
I tried to smooth things over, with promises of a new me, etc. Although basically once the decision is made there's no going back. I have now handed in my resignation, after getting things clearly in writing, there being no workable alternatives from what I can see.
I can basically write my own reference, and it be covered under a compromise agreement, apparently.
So, it's off into the world for me, been dusting off my showreel and looking at updating my CV... Been working on some personal things to put into the reel.. Phoned an old employer (company I left for this one) who seemed keen on meeting up to discuss future potential projects etc - meet him on Tuesday.
I think next up once I get my CV and portfolio up to scratch in some form is to start with the specialist agencies, then make a list of all potential employers I can find and start ringing them up, or popping into their offices.
I'm a bit worried as to whether anything will turn up, although I seem to be a lot better than all the freelancers this company hired so one must be optimistic!
Worst comes to the worst then I sublet my house, and go on some travels, crash at my parents house working on my portfolio for a couple of months till something turns up... Not the end of the world I suppose, though it's definitely a stick in the spokes of life!
Thanks again for all the advice, support, off topic rambles etc!

Can't claim JSA and you could've just strung them along for a few months, gone on stress leave etc.
