    My mortgage and car will be paid off by dec this year so I am planning to go and work in the Maldives as a surfing/windsurfing instructor. Food and acomm. is free and I get paid £80 week. Quite a drop in salary, but at least I won't have to take the tube everyday!

    Yes I agree that going permie is not the only alternative, although I'm still looking for a plan b (what else can a toy Dalek to do) Any suggestions? Would be interesting to hear about some forum contributors plan B's

    I'd rather you got over the poor spelling and grammar thing. That's far more annoying.

    * easier to protect yourself from bastard emloyers
    * easier to provide for your family reliably and still have time for them
    * harder but more rewarding
