    Luckily just signed a new 6 month gig, previous gig ended at end of December, so was "benched"/"on a break" for a few weeks

      OP - out of interest, have you signed on to claim JSA?

      3 months = £950 you've lost out on already if not.

      Don't worry NLUK can afford it out of his taxes....

        I'm in digital, creative services. London based.

        Re JSA - my understanding is that if I'm LTD and have savings of over £16k I am not eligible?

                PC is proud of his cretinism. He's got a tattoo to show it.

                  He's also got a flag, his own language and a small piece of useless land to prove it as well

                    I'm on the bench as of this month. Network Architecture. Lots of work around if I want an engineer role on decent rates but I'm holding out for a bit.
