            Throughly down at the moment. That said there are people who are in contract who are probably wondering what the fuss is about and you only need one successful application.

              Living in 9m people city and yet receive 1 call a week from pimps whilst looking, down from 10-15 a day in 2019.

              Not sure if it's worth the money to pay for the flat, and just go somewhere cheaper and wait it out for 6 months at least.

              Tell me how successful you are in this environment and lift my mood
              I fear it is going to get a lot worse before it gets better especially while tweedle dum and tweedle dee Whitty and Vallance are running the country.

              On the plus side, yeah, we're kicking the disgusting EU into touch.

                yeah thats the problem. As crap as 2008 was we knew there was light in the tunnel, just normal downturn. Here - I'm just not so sure.

                  Yes, because leaving the world's largest trading block will do wonders for the recovery.

                    I've been pretty happy TBH.

                    Fortunately I've been insulated a bit as working with a public sector client this year on a decent rate given Covid and what I'm actually doing for them.

                    Switched to part time recently so I could fit in some other personal interests around work.

                    Looking at going back to perm next year though for a new challenge and at least in the last 3 weeks or so, market has picked up.

                    But no doubt, tough and uncertain times ahead over the next 6-9 months with Covid and till IR35 and Brexit are out of the way and the picture becomes clearer.
