    2) this travelling lark is making you ill and you have continually complained that you only took it because you couldn't find anything nearer home.
    3) there is a certain irony in providing advice on the exact same topic you were asking for advice on last previous week...
    Did Churchill get banned? What a result, I missed that. He was a right knob. Get in

    Yes it was. Based on the principle that sigs are viewable across forums, so could be seen in one of the professional forums, where such a sig wouldn't be allowed.

    Now, will you two get a room, or put each other on your ignore lists?

    Look just stop bed wetting and admit defeat. Then go and take some time off over Christmas when your current contract has finished and work out how to rebuild your career in a way that doesn't continually mess up your health..

    Finally Man the F*** up

    Gave up on contracting. I free-lance and consult now. its a lot more work. A lot of travel and networking at first. Now I have a steady clientele and work from home 80% of the time. And the big bonus is .... no agents!

    Give it a try.

    No harm in doing that, at all. You do what you need to do - it is your career.

    Everyone thanks for your great advice, I think you are right look on the bright side, I think I've made the most of my time, I recently did a MSP and Scrum master course, ordered all the books which i still need to read through. I've hit the gym hard and even my brother who visited recently said I had gone through delardification, (Cheecky bugger, only brothers can get away that).

    You can get a bit down especially when your fielding calls from recruiters who just seem to be professionals at wasting your time, you know the type, "Hello Mr Smith, I've just matched your CV with a couple of keywords like "the" and "and" and think you would be perfect for a job flower arranging in Plymouth for £1.50 an hour.."

    Also I reckon I have sounded a bit desperate sometimes which I'm sure probably doesn't help, so top of my to do list is get to the library. Anyway seriously peeps thanks.
