    Current contract runs for another 6 weeks but the project has a green light for the next year so am optimistic about extension.

    Been on the bench a while, but I wouldn't say I am panicing yet.
    The Ltd has enough cash for a year yet.
    I am still picking and choosing where I apply. The ones I am dismissing may become more appealing in a month or two.
    The biggest issues are boredom (I have lots to do, but need to work) and the wife getting sick of me being at home. She panics too.
