    Hi,

    Many thanks for all of the responses, and for the party in my honour!

    Beginning to feel as if I am flogging a dead horse with this one though.

    In answer to the questions raised:

    - the only verbal offer and acceptance was of the initial six month extension
    - the notice period is one month, which equates to roughly £10k
    - the contract for the initial 6 month stint was exchanged just over four months into it!
    - both contracts agreed (ie the initial six months, plus the three month extension) were between myself (operating under an umbrella) and the agent.
    - I had reservations about the three month extension, as I felt that the company (via the new line manager) had shown bad form by renaging on a verbal agreement

    Hope this helps.

    Please could someone pass me a babysham and the peanuts.


    Cheers.

      The client has no obligation to offer you work(it's in the contract somewhere) so I'm afraid the equine is deceased.

      Salted or unsalted?

      Oh yes - welcome

                  I was a bit gobsmacked by the OP.
                  I dont think I have seen so much prevarication since Ethelred the unready held a decision-making competition with Ivan the Indecisive, but didnt get to the venue because he couldnt decide what to wear
