If there was a termination notice clause in your contract -make sure you get what is owed.

I hope you emptied the stationery cupboard while you were there

Almost 5 days on the bench now... The most I've ever spent since I started contracting 5 years ago!!

There seems to be plenty of work out there all the same so I'm not too worried. Enjoying the time off...

Well, just been informed that my contract is not going to be renewed, extended, financial cut backs and all that, so contractors out. Typical when you get one of the best gigs and you enjoy the work, joys of contracting eh

Best of luck finding another gig...

Look at the positives - you'll be able to increase your measly post count on CUK now

Valid point

Yes, will be nice to have some time off, during the summer (if we have any)

Sorry to hear that Sol, but hopefully you have been contracting long enough to have planned for downtime like this.
