Bah...why am I such a softie....I'm not a real contractor.

Why does everyone think there is a purpose? There is a logical reason why I'm not charging rent I earn well decent contractor rates, she earns £22k. If I rinse her for rent then I'm just being silly, I don't need the money. That and the person that asked me to do this as a favour is one of my oldest friends.

If she was 50, fat, male and a bob would she still get the no rent offer?
Aha, now you see why everyone thinks you have an ulterior motive, even if out is buried in your subconscious.

Fair enough. It does seem a bit masochistic though.
