told them I'll stay

If it's mind-numbingly boring, I would go.

Otherwise, Stay!

Another vote for stay here.

Just keep reminding yourself that its better than permieville to keep spirits high, then send another invoice.

Then after christmas look for somthing better.

If you stay there will be troubleeeeee,
And if you go it will be doubleeeeee

Stay. A bird in the hand and all that.

You can always get quite a lot of time off organised, say you had a couple of separate weeks off planned before the extension was offered and a couple of long weekends, 13 weeks will fly by.

Tell them that you have already signed a contract to start jan 2010 and that you can only commit till year end.

I like both your thinkings - will ponder further!

You will have a bit more cash over Xmas and you can start looking early for a new contract in the new year.

STAY ! Turned an extension down last year and spent 4 months on the bench, money was covered but found it very dull, even fun stuff kind of needs work to provide some contrast.

Stay but say you want a week's notice....

It worked out very well for me a few years ago...

A month is far too long a notice period...

Yes, angle for shorter notice. Personally I've consciously taken a low rate role (£100 a day) to fill the time, get me out of my grubby food stained dressing gown and stop any war chest erosion. It shouldn't stop me contract hunting too much and if it does I'll leave...simples.

Hmmmmm - two for going, three for staying, and one for staying and looking around.

I'm wavering towards staying, or no, going, or I don't know. Maybe my head will explode first

And breathe.

Stay.
