    Split it with the agent. And then do some extra hours and charge more for them.

    Take it and book 5% more hours but do no more work. That way, you get to keep the extra 2% for being home a few minutes later each day.

    Tell them that you realise how bad things are, so you will take a 10% cut instead.

    Should I:
    3% is a strange figure but I'd say yes as it takes you nicely in to next year.

    Nice cat by the way.

    Should I:
    Ask him why. Also, did the client tell you this or did it come from your agency??
    If the latter then they are likely to be pulling a fast one.
