      Thank you all for the help again.

      For this contract I will be relocating. What's the norm? Find a flat/house to rent? Find a reasonable B & B? Can this be covered by my limited company as expenses?

      I might have another offer today leaving me with a difficult decision tomorrow.

        Haha! Nearly forgot. I do not have a girlfriend, but I have had plenty of girlfriends that were partial to the odd photographic session!

        The answer is "no".

          I give you 3 weeks before we break you down.

          Yes you can claim accommodation as a expense however you must have somewhere else to live and don't even try it with a mortgage.

          For a more details answer there is a few threads on it.

            I didn't know you have trouble with illegals in your country. How do they cross the border? I though you are surrounded by water.

              Enjoy the situation while you can - the market is not always so bouyant.... and if it happens play one offer off against the other to get the agency to reduce their margin.

                WTF is going on !!! I thought I was in technical or accouting for a moment

                40 posts with a newbie asking questions and not one of you has given him any grief !! not even a little bit..

                You cant tell me that we're actually being nice to all newbies now??

                what ever happened to:

                "search the forum before asking stupid questions" (irrelevant if they asked a stupid question or even if they asked a question)

                "doomed"

                "no, next"

                <sigh> ok, well if we ARE going to be nice and offer advice here's my 2 pounds worth..

                -never ever trust what an agent says unless proven (sorry DA but it's true)

                -join PCG, its a few notes but well worth it for the info, templates, discounts and a slightly more serious version of CUK

                -save hard for the first year minimum, dont go spending everything now the money is rolling in, there are good and bad times..

                -dont get involved in the permie time wasting of gossip "he did this, she did that", "i want a pay rise", your a contractor and easily dispensible and so should get your head down, do your work, ignore all permie scum whenever, and post on here whenever is possible

                -if/when you buy your first flash car, dont park it next to your project manager in the car park

                feels strange being so serious, im off to have a bacon butty and coffee

                p.s oh and hi

                    Oh dear, and I was just coming back to ask another set of first timer questions!

                    Maybe I need to start publishing photographs as payment for answers. But then again, I don't want to be chucked off here after 1 day of being a member.
