They'll feed you whilst you're in there won't they?

Meanwhile your missus is watching the ocean finance channel whilst the bank take your house away.

I guess you have no mortgage, bills, outgoings etc and your wife can turn tricks to get the petrol to get the kids to school?

I (and most contractors I expect) don't have insurance to cover being unable to bill for a few weeks at a stretch, as that's a pretty normal occurence. Just make sure you charge enough to build up a bit of a reserve so you can carry on paying your salary through the lean weeks.

I do have personal accident insurance that should (in theory) pay out if I have a major accident/sickness that makes me unable to work for more than 6 months.

Clearly i wasn't being a 100% serious by suggesting getting more injured is a good thing.
