    HTH
    I think I'm ok, as I managed to save the client the cost of my contract in the first month.

      I've just extracted myself from one of the 2 contracts I've been juggling, initial have I done the right thing thoughts followed by relief ! One down one to go, I will get on that bench if it kills me.

      It was a 10 monther.
      Hehe - sterling effort.

      I am holding my bottle. Just.

      I have been asked to go to a meeting today and it will be about work. I have a suspicion they will go for the perm angle (again) and then fall back to an extension offer once I wriggle out of it.

      I haven't had a proper break for 2.5 years. I am due one.

                Hang on in there ! You know it makes sense.

                I haven't had one for about 4 years, previously I was lucky if I did more than 6 months a year, I brought in a rule of not turning down anything that is daily commutable and I've since had a lucky (?) run. I wish this bloody recession would get a move on and take it out of my hands.

                Oh no ! I just had a mini panic attack again, did I do the right thing

                Phew ! Over it again.

                      was 3 months last September, been extended twice up till end of June now.

                      After that hoping for either another extension or plan B to take over.

                      Going for the latter option
