The flip side of that is that is that if you are a permanent employee of a company, they are expecting you to be giving them 37.5hr a week, Monday to Friday (or whatever the contract may specify) and if you are doing other work that prevents you from fulfilling that contract, they will want to know....

There were a dozen or so earlier in the year - mostly around the ETMP ECC6 to S/4HANA project, which would be a good project to be on (if you know SAP) as it's going to go well over time and require a lot more resources that in the original plan. Any devs with ABAP skills might want to dust them off....

What are you wanting to counter with?
If your cashflow is so tight that after 1 month of weekly payments you can't save, it's maybe better to get something with regular income.

Nope, that reads like someone got AI to write it for them.
It used to be that contractors knew their agents, spoke to them, dealt with them, and got work that way.

Kinda makes sense. There used to be cash ISAs and Stocks and Shares ISAs. The government would prefer people to have S&S ISAs, so they kept the limit at £20k for those. Cash ISAs are limited to £12k. It appears that some people were moving their cash into S&S to get round the £8k reduction,...

Up and out at 5:30 for a pleasant walk. it appears there may have been some light rain overnight, but no obvious signs in the garden.
Speaking of the garden, Harry the Hedgehog has returned - although he's hanging around near the front of the garden, so maybe it's not...

The Wife took The Dog down to the beach this morning so he could have a swim. I feel sorry for those who don’t have the option of living near the sea.

Up at 5:35 for a walk.
10,000 steps done and it's now 26C out.
Been playing flight tracking to work out what plane I will be on later. Narrowed it down to one of two.

Phew, what a scorcher. Currently 23C, expected to climb to 31C again.
Dog walk at 05:30 was pleasant for the first bit with a gentle breeze helping to negate the feel of the humidity.
Off to cooler climes tomorrow evening, which will be nice.
