Guys !! Many thanks for replies......
I started searching for Gigs in Scotland(where i am at the moment)....but cwjobs/jobserve/monster and few other sites showing contracts are literally dried up.
I can see relatively more jobs in London (from where i came), South East and rest of England but i havnt applied for them yet because if i get any interview(by any chance) i dont wana take a day off and lose 1 day pay here.
In good days, one could consider losing a pay on an interview as an investment, but these days it seems quite competitive and so many experienced guys there to compete. So my strategy is to get as much as possible from here and look something locally (if possible) and once that's over then go back and available for anywhere.
Hope it makes sense ???
And as people suggested , i'll let landlord know that im not going to extend lease but if my contract gets extended than i will. Lets see how he reacts but i think he'll understand.
My warchest is ok (not great) but my life style is no posh either, single,no mortgage,no debts. So, hopefully i'll be alright.Comment

Agreed. I've even been asked to leave site for a week as Human Remains were late in pushing my extension through after Christ's Mass a couple of years ago...Originally posted by Jubber View PostBull. I've had extensions approved the day before end date.
Needless to say my very lovely Line Manager recouped that week's pay for me as 'overtime'.
