Do you maybe have the option to take an extension at reduced hours, say 3 days a week? This is what I'm trying to do although I accidentally got another contract...Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishing -
It's all or nothing and as I hinted at earlier I think spreading my time around wouldn't help to make a success of the new venture. Too many businesses fail because one or other of the parties involved just don't put in the time and effort so I don't want to take the risk.Originally posted by d000hg View PostDo you maybe have the option to take an extension at reduced hours, say 3 days a week?

There's enough work initially to keep everybody busy and although this is Plan B moving to A I still have a couple of minor projects ticking along nicely in the background that should come to fruition within the next year.Comment

What's the timeline when you'll know if plan B is a goer or not... months or years? If the former I'd say go for it, you can always get another contract.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Enough work to provide cashflow for at least three months and probably six, if it's not a goer in that timeframe I reckon it'll be back to contracting.Originally posted by d000hg View PostWhat's the timeline when you'll know if plan B is a goer or not... months or years?

Give Plan B a go or you'll regret it forever.
Shame you'll have to return your membership card for CUK though.
