Thanks for the offer Shelley ! LOL

Nice update PAID - hope things work out for you... The temp job I got and lost so quickly was a day rate job however so just make sure if you go in this direction you do so with your eyes open! An on the books temp job is far less likely to "go south" as it were compared with any kind of agency or day rate job.... It does give you freedom tho... If you do go down the day rate route - try and have some kind of cancellation clause in your favour... In this last job I had a 28 day notice clause which I am extremely grateful for!

Sounds very promising PAID. Hope you get some high paid (!) jobs. Just don't look at the nice carrying recepticles people in swanky places carry cause they'll make you green with envy

It's OK, I have made a deal with myself. NO MORE until DFD, but then I can reward myself with the most ludicrous one carrying receptical ever.

I am being a bit slow tonight and making it all go out of sync - sorry

Just assume that whenever I post I am responding to one three posts behind or more

Cheers hun, I had been thinking about that too and pondering cancellation clauses and had only been thinking 2 weeks, but 28 days is way more sensible.

The one with contractors i am currently working with would probably just be piece work helping them pitch into new organisations and developing the presentational side of their business if anything comes up. i only really want to take day rate work with organisations that I already know fairly well so that the risk is reduced (although I know it is always there) although might have to take whatever if push comes to shove.

If I get offered anything along those lines I might give you a PM for a bit of advice if that is OK.

:eek: whens the DFD? Now you've said it here CAFC and the tattle tales will keep reminding you. I'll pretend to forget if you want me too!

Hmmmmm DFD is a bit out of the window, I was hoping for May next year, I might need to push that back a bit now due to my dramatic move into employment freefall :rolleyes:
