Be sure not to found innocent on appeal years later though, as you then have to pay for all that board and lodging.

In fact keep going that way and you can even get free accomodation and meals out of the Government as well as a very fetching stripy overall.

That way you can claim £1,000/day in unreceipted expenses because they have a "special arrangement". Should pay for that Porsche in no time. Also, don't worry about VAT. No one else does and after all, who's to know?

You are DCJ and I claim my crisp fiver.
Don't forget to buy a Porsche on your first day's contracting and then sue the agent and have a good moan because you can't join the company pension scheme.

Hey
I came to this board to get a proper answer to my questions. Why are you being so mean? You're all hiding behind the internet Grrrrr.
The agent has offered me £10p/h but I reckon Im worth £200p/h. Yeh, thats right and the agent should pay me from his own pocket. Im doing him a favour right.
Yeh. Excel Rocks

Newbie Thread. Just given up job. Now what?
Hi
I've just given up my job. I walked out cause I hated it and im much better than everyone else in the office. They suck and I know it all.
I have 6 months .NET and Excel. Yeh Im the bollocks. What does the PM know anyway - I can do that, yeh and the Sales Directors job, whats that all about hey! Easy innit.
Anyway, even though I know it all. Will someone please tell me what I should do?
Umbrella or Limited, Partnership or Soletrader, Aim or Ftse. I know it all but you tell me.
What accountants do you guys use? A bloke in the pub said he'd do it for £1000 a month. I thought that was OK as he said he'd fix my car as well. But hey I could do that, its just Im so busy what with all the offers of work.
Well guys I'm waiting.
Be nice.
