Good luck in your new venture.
Could you feasibly take a month or so off work to just enjoy some time and figure out what you want to do?
It's something I'd like to do if given the chance. My girlfriend took a 2 month sabbatical from her job and she said that it was a great experience and when she went back to work it was she was more focused not only on what she wanted career wise but also in other aspects of her life.

Depends on whether I actually get it.
My employer is looking to keep costs down so my expression of interest is no doubt creating great mirth amongst the HR bods. I'm picturing them rolling around on the floor, tears in eyes as they screech at each other "This cunt's got NO fucking chance, it'll cost more to get rid of him than it will to employ him for the next 18 months".

But yeah, in the probably unlikely event I get accepted I'd take a couple of months out to consider my options.

There's a few at our place who have took the
"Look, will you just fuck off now so we can get saps in on really shitty T's & C's to replace you?" package. There's some who are starting businesses in their late fifties and others who it'll bolster the nest egg and they can go and push trolleys in Asda for pin money but with no stress.

More power to your elbow Sir
