    Swings and roundabouts.

    Finished with Client A today. Cock up with their procurement meant they ran out of money a month early.

    Phone call to Client B followed by coffee and a chat moves them up to Client A status billing full days rather than half time.

    Meeting this afternoon with Client C to discuss new work they have in the pipeline that ties in with new Client A, that client A are aware of and are happy for me to take on as it will make their life easier in the long run.

    Net effect will hopefully be the same number of days billed but from two clients instead of three.

    Worst case scenario, I only bill 40 days between now and year end rather than 60-65.

      Financial year end, so April. Both are saying they have more work to come but until budgets are agreed nothing is confirmed.
