Ah, brilliant news. Good news is scarce these days so it’s very pleasing to read this.
All the best in your new job!

I'm still smiling and I get to hand in my notice tomorrow.... its the first time in a long time I've looked forward to going in to work on a Monday morning for a while...
Personally id make sure i had a signed contract from the new co. first

This with bells on. It won’t do you any harm to tease yourself for a day or so, walking around with a silly smug smile on your face
I have the engagement letter as a draft from the new company. After I've handed my notice in I can update the new company with my start date and go to meet them after work tomorrow to sign everything.

Ok, understand for sure but just flagging that comes with some risk given its draft. I’d go after work, sign the contract based on the date at the end of your notice period then hand in the notice the following day. I’m no lawyer though and am fairly risk averse in these types of situations

I got the job.
I'm literally shaking and properly beaming from ear to ear.
I had a sneaky feeling they would offer me something but at a reduced rate hence why I posted this thread but they have offered £35k for 3 months rising to the full £38k thereafter.....
Thankyou all ever so much for contributing and helping. I'm completely made up and bouncing round the room.
I owe you all a pint now I can afford to when we are all back at The Amex.
Thankyou all and especially to [MENTION=27447]Goldstone1976[/MENTION] for helping directly over PM.
I'm off to get drunk
I honestly have to say that I'm really chuffed withe responses on here. I was really nervous about posting this thread as I wasn't sure on which NSC would respond, it could have have gone 1 of 2 waya but thankfully it went the way I hoped it would.
I like to think I'm a good guy and of course my resignation letter will be professional, polite and humble, I'm not someone who is in the habit of being a ****** unless I have to be.
Even though working at this place has been tough its also been at the sharp end of te hnology and state of the art machinery to use.
With my bosses consent he allowed me to go on day release so i could fund going back k to college to get proper qualifications and get my level 2 &3 nvq and c&g qualifi actions and move on to HNC Manufacturing Engineering.
If I'd have had the opportunities and promises I had been promised I would have still been working there and happy but when he hired a new bloke (without the e perience) instead of promoting me I wouldn't have started looking elsewhere. The fact I had to train and tell someone how to do the job above me really hurt.
But I cN now move on with a far better wage at a new forward thinking company who seems like they'll appreciate iate me makes me feel great.
I shall sincerely thank him for what he did but its time to move on.
Happy days !!
As per above, never feel the need to stick the boot in on your old boss, take the moral high-ground. Also, as mentioned, you can say it's better for your family [more dough] and one I've used before is "they're going to pay me closer to what I think I'm worth". Indirectly saying that you've had enough of them taking the pi$$.
One word of warning, if your current employer decides to salary match to tempt you to stay - a) why did it take your resignation to make them realise they were under-paying you & b) quite often it is not just down to being under-valued [in your eyes] that triggered you to get off your backside and find a better job. Most folk who decide to stay when offered a salary hike find they are still unhappy 3 months later and want to leave again.
New jobs are a step into the unknown and can [for some] be a bit daunting and cause apprehension. Embrace the opportunity - if it just happens to result in something worse than you currently have [bet it won't], it's not a lifetime commitment, you can always move on [with the added experience gleaned].
Good luck ...
