    Anyway, I just got a 6 month extension with 0% rise.. but the rate I'm on is ok, so no big deal.

    Actually I work closer to 50 hours most weeks. Then again my rate has been more than double yours over the last 5 years.

    HTH.

    I was on a 'proper rate' as you condescendingly call it. Im now on an even better daily rate.

    Look, the initial rate was £300pd for a 35 hour week. Work out the new daily rate, muppet.

    I suppose you're working 40 hours a week?

    Agent probably starting to feel guilty about the 50% markup he's screwing you for. Now it's only 35%, so doesn't that make you feel better
