    you are not alone
    We could have a "We have been terminated in March" get together somewhere in London if you are up for it.
    If your company is the best place to work in, for a mere £500 p/d, you can advertise here.

      LOL sounds like a plan.

      A while back I saw my contract coming to an end 4 months before it eventually did. I guess I was lucky, because it really did take me that long to find another one.

      In the end the original client wanted me to stay another 3 months, but that would have been the final extension anyway so I left to go to the new contract.

      I'm always looking out, just in case, because I know my area is way too niche (i.e. dying --> dead)

        If its before March 9th, then fine but after that if I've not got a contract, bench finance measures will be invoked and I won't be drinking anything but water until I am back off the bench. Sorry.

                No. April is round the corner with all those lovely new budgets to spend. Most projects start the recruitement process 4-6 weeks early so around about nowish the phone will start ringing.

                Relax, have a pot noodle and forget about it.

                  Hmmm , my bench budget doesn't allow for flights to London from cloggers

                  Though mine was more self terminate rather than stay around and things to get worse, I still had ambulance chasers from other departments

                    Sounds great, stick something up (a post!) in Social and we'll go from there.

                    Central London?
                    Counting House?
                    Master Gunner?

                      End of March for me but I think there's a good chance of an extension being offered should I want it. Plenty of projects on the go and new ones in the pipeline.
