Out of contract - income needed

[Shivers]

Last contract finished mid-December. Any practical advise on how to bring in some income from alternative sources? Was thinking of getting a cabbie - anyone done any taxi driving?

New years eve would be good. All you need is a bit of cardboard with 'TAXI' written on it in black gem marker

Just pay yourself from your warchest like any normal contractor and then get another contract.

I did it for three weeks in 1994 after taking redundancy from the Civil Service. Lost more than I made, got charged TWICE by the cops for sounding my horn while stationary, three vomits on the back seat and car impounded in a drugs investigation when the car got surrounded by three CID cars, the occupants, myself included thrown on the ground and held there by cops while they searched the car. Hint, know who the local drug dealers are before getting into the taxi business.

Take MF's advice. Find another contract. If you can't, sack yourself as an employee and go on the dole.

Yeah but I believe if the little fellas are floating on top upside down then it's no good.

Back in the 90s I did motorbike dispatch riding in the City for a couple of months - this turned out ot be my only void period in many years of contracting.
Money was OK about £600 a week as I recall - kept the wolf from the door and stopped me dipping into warchest
