If you aren't willing to take a risk when trying to find a better job, then you shouldn't leave. If you don't try, you never will find somewhere better. The grass may not always be greener, but sometimes it is; and if you want to find that somewhere you're going to have to tread on some brown first. As for timing, a good Escape Fund™ helps with that. @Chris: Thanks for the reassuring story! :)

Then I decided - "as the market is down, and its nearing Xmas, maybe now is a good time to find another job". In retrospect, maybe not the best idea. Anyway, started at a new place and within 1 week was wishing to god I never left the old place. I know its a cliche but the grass is often not greener.
