    Still saving for that target or not, if I don't get a contract.

    OK for a few months though. Think you might be right about the timescale to recovery though.

    Nope. Personal contacts drew a blank, so now it's out to agencies. Poss 4 clients seemingly, though 3 are via same agency who I believe from previous experience have a habit of being over-optimistic so that you see them as the path to a contract.
