Congratulations - I've just got my second extension (this time for 6 months), 1 month into my first 3 month extension!Originally posted by Sockpuppet View Post....my meal ticket past Christmas. Originally meant to end on 21st December. Not got 3 month extension to a 3 month project.
Which dumps me out nicely in March where there will be a) more contracts coming around April time and b) more driving should I not be able to find anything else.
It's Deja-vu all over again!
