In the hunt again
But I discovered nothing else but depraved, excessive superstition. Pliny the younger -
There is a general rule of "contracting" thumb that dream contracts don't work out.
But don't let it get you down.I'm alright Jack -
second rule is that when they do turn up it is usually after you have put pen to paper on something elseRule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1!Comment

And by, 'resets mileage', I assume you mean it starts on April 6th,
with your new 10000 miles personal mileage allowance...........

No that is well down the list - mine was definately 2nd. Yours is third at best.Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
