References on confirming contract
I have just verbally accepted a contract and got the contract and other paperwork through from the agency along with a list of all the stuff they need from me before I start the contract or can be paid.

I feel so relieved...
Well done! Must have been a hard decision to make at the time. Less stress and decent work/life balance is worth so much.:happy- dropcliffsnotbombs
