some cheeky bugger (agent) just called

[scooterscot]

He's not struggling, obviously.

Btw, have you shed your offspring yet?

No. Are they gonna sink me like?

[MaryPoppins]

Clearly not!

No, one month to go. Eeek! Last day on contract today which is a strange feeling indeed. Still no stretch marks though, not sure how!

I belive the correct term is "Spawned". You have to get the terminology right or they get upset. It's the hormones. I'm sure you'll find out for yourself soon enough

Good luck MP, and let us know how it goes

[scooterscot]

Still a bit arrogant to sniff at £250 per day no matter what you feel you are 'worth', when there are people genuinely struggling.

No offence intended. The thread was meant to highlight how agents believe services should be all the cheaper because of the climate. I want to punch something.

If anything I've seen the real cost of services increase not decrease.

[NotAllThere]

in fact first rule of economics

something is only worth what someone else will pay for it

therefore you may feel you are worth £500 per day

but if people who want your skills will only pay £250 per day then you are worth £250 per day....

Not entirely the case. Some recognition of value remains.

What tends to happen where the people who want your skills, but can only afford £250 (or whatever) per day, simply do without.

Hence the lack of interesting jobs in a downturn.

Ha, I use the term spawned myself, as a matter of fact.

Thank you, am frankly petrified now. Not helped by a staggering amount of people (some I've previously never spoken to before) feeling it necessary to tell me horrific details surrounding labour/birth/children, and expecting me to thank them for it.

True, you do have a point. It is an extremely frustrating time! Punch an agent please.

Every woman I know who has given birth has said it was a real comfort having a man in the delivery room with them. That way they had someone they could hurt without offending the nursing staff

I don't even have that luxury! So please let me know if I can call when the day comes!
