You could try giving them notice, and they might just ask you to leave right away. Often they do that because they don't want someone hanging around who knows they are leaving and might steal stuff etc.

Its my fault the place is even being sold at all, ever since I said I was moving. Once Im gone there is no reason for the managing director to continue with the company which is why he is trying to sell it. I have asked how much notice they need and its 3 months and they absolutely do not want me to leave right away. 10 years ago it was making a lot more than £22K a year but back then components cost so much more than they do these days. There is significant competition in the area also which has lead to the decline of the business.

You can make a good living off 22 net profit.
In € that would be 2300€ per month. At least in Germany you could spend fine days.

That is correct. It used to but it was too much hassle to keep upto date and maintain with just myself. Maybe the next owners with rebuild it.

Ask your personnel office to supply you with another Contract. I'm not sure if they are required legally to give you another one, but I can't see them having a problem with issuing you another one.

Why would I want another contract? I want to move and find a new job. They want 3 months notice from me before I can do that. End of.

It's not such a bad thing to have to wait a bit longer for such an important step. If after a couple of months you still feel the same way then you're good to go.

You have lost your copy and are taking their word for how much notice you need to serve, even though it's an unusually long notice. Personally I would be asking for another copy of my contract to make sure they are telling the truth.
There may also be something in there which mentions being able to serve a shorter notice.

Carl is right. Actually by law they have to give you a copy of your contract.
It's in your contract, actually it's in everyones.

I got sent a copy by e-mail which does state that 3 months notice is required.

Do you think they would let you finish early if you found a new job?

Yes that would be likely as it would be just as likely if he sold the business before the 3 months was up.

all I can say head, is that things change when you start living with a chick. I'd say live with her for a bit (6months - year) before you make a drastic change and give up your work and stuff.
Hope things work out well, all im saying tho is that chicks change when you start living with them. Atleast, they have in my experience

This is good advice. I think the change you may think you see in your partner is just down to the fact you never truly know someone until you live with them.
When you're just meeting up casually, or spending the odd weekend together you're both on your best behavior, you make an effort to get on and bond. This can't be maintained indefinitely, it's exhausting. So when the veneer of courtship isn't constantly there any more to buffer any negative feelings, you see the real person.
Be careful Nouse, to me it seems you're the only one taking a risk, it's bad for one partner to be more invested then the other.

lol, looks like you've gotten my confused with headshot 
I've lived with my gf for almost 2 years now, it's been great. Just remember to do your share of the housework and agree when she says silly things like 'the couches need accent pillows' or any other girly crap and things will be fine |
LOL, my mistake. I've worked from 4am till 6pm today, only had four hours sleep too so feel pretty brain dead, using caffeine to stay awake till a normal bedtime. Actually feels like i'm mildly tipsy!
Longest I've ever worked I think, do you know what agar is? It's the jelly like substrate that bacteria grow on in petri dishes. Well I had to prepare and pour over 2000 of these today ready for the rest of the week. There should have been four of us and there was only two so it took the piss!
