    Two ways of living ...

    1) You keep a nice nest egg for a rainy day, and one of two thing happen HMRC come for an investigation and you spend it all fighting them or your wife ups sticks and demands most of it to spend on FMB's and wax jobs for her new boyfriend.

    2) You never think the bad times will come and you spend every penny on stuff and fun while you have it to enjoy... Then one day you are out of a contract, the sun doesn't shine but you still have a massive load of stuff...

    Dont know which is worse really...

      I once left Manchester to go home, went on autopilot thinking about the work I was doing, a short while later I arrived at Liverpool. First & only time I've been there.
      I went on autopilot when driving to someone's house for Sunday afternoon tea.

      It was the same way as I took to work and realised too late I was on the motorway. No exit for 5 miles.

      That was a ten mile round trip I could have done without.

        I don't know if it is possible but I am looking for another role to do part-time out of hours, working from home of course. I am so close to home I have a few extra hours work in me and I figure while I am young and have the energy I should make use of it. Any ideas how to find such a contract?
