    Heading rapidly towards the bench - I arrive there tomorrow afternoon!

    Not bothered though... there's load of work out there (except for all that boring financial stuff in the City, which seems to be melting away), so I'm just chilling for a bit before I take up my next gig

      Yes, a true contractor who gives an estimate. Sets a price. Does the job and then hopes for payment. Oddly. The longest I have had to wait is with the last agency who have yet to pay me. It took ME to phone them and find out that the f&(&(*& timesheet was illegible on their end. And I'm still waiting...

      My other clients pay within 10 days. I just wish there were more of them.

        Where's the new contract, same rate option? Cos that's where I am. More working at home means it does work out better, and it's a more interesting and challenging role which looks like running until the end of the year at least.

        Only bad thing is I've been waiting 3 weeks since the end of the last one to get started.

        So a partial boomed.
        Will work inside IR35. Or for food.
