    Do you reward yourself for contract extensions?

    I've done well and even negotiate a tiny increase on contract extension.
    I'm thinking of getting this LG 34UM95 screen, which will, as a side effect also boost my productivity.
    Any thoughts, should I save for a rainy day instead?

    I normally have a pot noodle and a wink to celebrate in my contractor lodgings (Travelodge alongside the M4).


    I say live a little - go and buy the new toy.

      In a few years time when they move you into the hospice for your last few weeks of life and all you have in the world is your memories, will you have this precious memory in the bank of so many others.

      Alternately you could live a little more now. Get a 3-some or something

        It's only £600 on Amazon - that's what, a day or two's work? Get to it!

          Unless you currently have no monitor, a pot noodle will boost your productivity more than a larger screen.
          Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

                IWOOT!

                Is it a PC screen or a TV screen? (Probably doesn't make much difference)
                Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ here

                    Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

                    No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.
