    that would be option 1 then, as you are now mainly working on Plan A

    the poll does not take into account what plans were formally a, b or otherwise, nor does it discriminate between the merits of plans a, b or otherwise, it simply is a measure of who is / isnt working at present.. HTH

      ahh now here you should decide if you are mainly working on plan b or you are mainly looking for work, a 50/50 split is not allowed, there are rules, you must be precise (geez i think these german surroundings are rubbing off on me!!)

        There's only so much time you can spend looking for work, and I'm trying to work full time on the plan B. But then as there's no plan A, my plan B now really is my plan A and a future contract is plan B for the moment.
        Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

          Plan B is on the back burner until I'm back into plan A (just started again after taking the summer off).

          The trouble is, this job is boring as hell. The sooner I can get back into new-implementation consulting rather than development the better.

            Plan A going into Plan B in 2 weeks! Am working, but my contract was terminated 2 weeks early. Plan B: I won't be going on the bench...... I will be having a nice long holiday until next year. That's my favourite thing about contracting... lots of holidays. :-)

            I work at a bank! I was given notice 2 weeks ago though so nothing to do with yesterday!

              I'm actively engaged in Plan B, have been for 6 months.
              Given up IT and hope never to return.

                    Interestingly, Plan A contract is due to expire in 4 months. PM has almost already been on the phone to me checking that I'll be available for an extension
                    same here - and plan experienced a significant boost yesterday
