    Current ClientCo has just announced its owners are looking at potentially selling it to new investors so spending has been curbed till a decision has been made and therefore all contractors have been given 2 weeks notice.

    This actually works out really well as I've not had any time off since last summer (bar a week at xmas) and so taking a month or so off when this one finished mid September (as planned) would have put me a bit close to Xmas for my liking to potentially secure a new decent length gig.

    So it now means I have the rest of the summer off, Ibiza in a couple of weeks time for a week, the missus 40th party in August, a mates wedding, the parents ruby wedding anniversary and I can spend some quality time with the kids before the oldest starts school for the first time in September.

    Happy days

    May I respectfully recommend some holiday reading: Ibiza poolside escapades

              He could do with some free cava, now that he's benched.
