Sorry to hear that but man up suck it up its all part of contracting move onto something else. Any contract is only as good as the amount of time you spend onsite & only when you have been contractually paid for all billed work is it a good contract! A signed contract means nothing read the small print it will contain some get out clause from the agency/client somwhere to cover this legally.
We have all been there that's why I personally feel most IT contractors earn every penny & then some!Comment

Sorry to hear about it.
Just ignore NLUK. If you had met his wife you would be grumpy too.

Glad i read this post. Im lining up a contract that requires me to drive. Only isse is we have one car and the misses needs it. Pretty sure that maths favours actually buying a new car and selling it after the gig. May reconsider this approach and lease it for the first couple of weeks!!!"You can't climb the ladder of success, with your hands in the pockets"

It was strange, however, the amount of conversations, on here, that there is no real risk in contracting, can't see why you should be taxed differently to perm....etc. etc.
Well, there's a good example, with the OP, just here.The Chunt of Chunts.Comment

I like NLUK's posts. He funny and they almost always put a smile on my face I can see why he was personality of the year 2011. Although I think there is a bit of an unhealthy obsession with mumsnet going on!
Thanks for all the words guys - yes, hands up - derpy derp moment from me. Live and learn.
Apparently agent is not in today...Certainly would not recommend anyone commit too much to a role...
Managed to get some of the monies back from the accommodation people, close call though.
