Make room on the bench

[Dark Black]

Shift up - current gig ends tomorrow, my choice since I hit the two year rule for expenses and (tbh) I've had enough anyway.

I know the market's bad but the war chest is good (sold the house last year) and summer is coming

Getting a bit squashed on this bench..

Still, when all those who claim it's no longer worth working because of all that tax, stop working, we'll all have jobs again! Boomed!

This time is different (TM).

They'll work for us somewhere else in the world and we will get the money for it. Boomed!!! Tell ya...

I've already arrived there. Pension from June and then I will only work to supplement my income if I feel like it. I feel a bit sorry for you guys that will be screwed by this HMG and also the Tories to fill the black hole, but you do get what you vote for IMO.

Sorry but you're crackers!

Giving up earning whatever your daily rate is because you can no longer claim travel expenses that are probably only 10% - 15% of your day rate? Stooopid, imo.

OK, I know you say you've had enough at your workplace but its still money you're losing in a tight market.

I've been without travel expenses for coming up to 12 months but so what? Im still earning my daily rate of over £300 a day on a 4 day week with £85 a week travel expenses. Im fed up with the 160 mile a day commute and if the market wasnt tight, I could consider looking elsewhere, but not right now!

Oh, and I've got a good war chest too but Im not about to whittle it down on a whim!

Good luck though!
