      I can see that by your expression.

        Pfft. I'm helping you older guys by being part of the generation pushing your BTL empire skywards by creating demand for housing.

        Plus you all probably earn tulip loads more than me. But I'll still get a round in...


        ...after which you'll see a northern boy cry at London prices.

            Guess how many grams of fat that has...

              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.
              Congratulations - I've just got my second extension (this time for 6 months), 1 month into my first 3 month extension!
              It's Deja-vu all over again!

                You think they'd wait until the end of the 3 month extension before extending further. That would seem to be the shrewd thing to do.

                    A 50% increase, well done.



                    So obvious, but it had to be done before someone else got in there first.
