You don't attend them, do you?

I find they coincide with my hair washing sessions.

Make sure you don't say anything positive about her in case she slices up your balls.

Leg it.

As it turns out the OP is a lady, I'll temper my comments (a little )

But the fact remains contracting isnt (obviously) permiedom. Things are different. You can be the serf or the lowest of the low. You need to roll up your sleeves and get on with it and no whinging. Quite often the 'job' you thought you'd be doing, isnt.

People coming into contract should be aware of that.

Are you man enough to deal with it and continue to invoice or do you want to voluntarily put yourself on the bench with no income?

Purely a personal choice this one. Do what YOU can cope with.

Oops.

No need to be less straight with your words because the OP is female.

You were on Mumsnet after all.....

No need really - you are right tbf. I knew it was going to be tough, first night nerves kicking in I guess, am over it now - largely because I posted on here, and was reminded of the hard facts, and that it's the norm!
