    When I retire I really will be heading towards Italy and Marche or Abruzzi.
    Exactly. We are quite off topic, but most people buy during Semana Santa or July/August.

    *Sorry Semana Santa = Easter

        Commeth today, I still dont have the contract. Is it normal for it to take this long? Starting to get a bit uneasy as I've never waited more than 3 days for a contract. Just to add, the start date has been set and confirmed by the hiring manager & HR.
        Speak of the devil, the Permie contract just came through. If I sign it, but then get offered one of the contract gigs I'm interviewing for - will the permie company be able to do anything? I know legally they can sue, but to my knowledge its extremely rare.

              If you are uneasy about the contract like you say and have a permit contract in hand, I would sign ASAP in the current Market. Or WFH them both

                Was sent by email. 6 months probation and a 3 month notice period. The notice period is a bit of a spanner...

                      Ah sorry, slight misunderstanding. Just read it in detail - it says within the 6 month probation period, I can quit at 1 weeks notice. Happy days Been a while since I've been perm, totally forgotten these things!
