      Very true, I have been out for 6 months and have 3 dependents at home with a monthly rent bill which is much higher than most mortgages. Not to mention high council tax etc etc.

      My preference now is to get a permie job for the security. I have 2 interviews coming up, one for a permie job with a good basic salary and the other for a 3 month contract with "probable renewals". I know which one I'll be taking if I am lucky/good enough to be offered both. I have heard too many stories recently of budgets being suddenly cut or restructuring/consolidation plans suddenly appearing. I could take a 3 month contract then find their plans have changed and there will be no renewal and I could be back on the bench for another 6 months....
