      where is the option for having to negotiate with new client to hold off for a few days so I can have a week bewteen contracts?

      So far the 2 opportunities I have had for bench time the clients wanted me to have 0 benchtime but on 1 of these times I negotiated 1 week as I had to move from Middle East to Europe with family.

                2 months so far. This year has followed almost exactly the same pattern as last year, which means I should be off the bench by the third week in October.
                Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

                  I tend to take xmas off and generally go away somewhere hot a few times a year.

                  Does that count?

                    I tend to take a few months off after a long contract finishes and then
                    start looking again.
