    I have a baby too with the exact same scenario so another £30k taken from the family pot.

    We're struggling by on about 40% of our previous family income with an extra mouth to feed indeed.

    I guess you're in the big HP building then?

    Well, I said I would never go below £150 a day - broke that rule (just) with current gig. Looks I might need to re-define the rule for the next one.

    Well it's also showing with another agent at £12.50 so I'd guess this one is near 100%
