    Kate Moss is quite high maintenance...
    One of my hobbies is building R/C cars/boats/aircraft. I build 'em then flog 'em.

    Whoop-de-doo!
    Do you mean a rate increase? Or are you a permie?

    Because surely 3% of 'your rate' means that ultimately you are getting paid what you are worth for being a professional, and the 3% is to keep it in line with inflation.

    I'm considering giving myself a 17% pay rise from 6k to 7k. I think I'll write a letter to myself tonight.
