    Hmmmmm - two for going, three for staying, and one for staying and looking around.

    I'm wavering towards staying, or no, going, or I don't know. Maybe my head will explode first

    And breathe.

      Stay but say you want a week's notice....

      It worked out very well for me a few years ago...

      A month is far too long a notice period...

        Yes, angle for shorter notice. Personally I've consciously taken a low rate role (£100 a day) to fill the time, get me out of my grubby food stained dressing gown and stop any war chest erosion. It shouldn't stop me contract hunting too much and if it does I'll leave...simples.

          STAY ! Turned an extension down last year and spent 4 months on the bench, money was covered but found it very dull, even fun stuff kind of needs work to provide some contrast.
          You can always get quite a lot of time off organised, say you had a couple of separate weeks off planned before the extension was offered and a couple of long weekends, 13 weeks will fly by.

            Tell them that you have already signed a contract to start jan 2010 and that you can only commit till year end.
            You will have a bit more cash over Xmas and you can start looking early for a new contract in the new year.

              I like both your thinkings - will ponder further!

                Stay. A bird in the hand and all that.
