    This is surprising. I'll learn to let this behaviour slide in the future "faking emails, making endless excuses, being constantly ignored and failing to deliver VAT returns for review on time, or just submitting them without approval doesn't feel like acceptable behaviour to me? "

    faking emails, making endless excuses, being constantly ignored and failing to deliver VAT returns for review on time, or just submitting them without approval doesn't feel like acceptable behaviour to me? I'm the problem, unrealistic expectations maybe?

    Multiple site travel for a single client, can I invoice for this?

    You've quoted something I didn't say, appreciate the help though. I'll see what the agency come back with and then go from there.

    Multiple site travel for a single client, can I invoice for this?

    I haven't signed anything yet, trying to get this agreed first. First class travel seems a little excessive if its going to be a regular thing.

    Multiple site travel for a single client, can I invoice for this?

    The contract states - "Unless otherwise agreed in writing, neither the Supplier nor the Consultant shall be entitled to claim from the Company (or the Client) any expenses incurred in connection with the performance of the Services.", I haven't signed anything yet, I just emailed the agent to...
