    inbetween contracts at the moment but could probably last another 2 months - as im only starting out in the contracting world so not got the right money coming in like some people - although it dose help when you get 8 weeks back pay appear (the threat of court action really works)

    cat food is amazingly expensive - well that and the wife's three shoes a week habit - and the blood sucking lazy cousin I'm supporting.

    I wouldn't last more than a month.

    Looking at poll, seems a suprising number of our bretheren would be on their uppers in a relatively short space of time.

    What do you guys do with the huge wodge that your exorbitant rates pump into your company bank accounts every month?

    Do you save or invest any of it? or do you just spend it all on Gucci shoes and lambos?
