Sod it, let's add another one...
A few years ago I did a contract which was an initial 3 months with a possible 3 month extension for company who were embarking on a large project and wanted a permie. I stayed for 5 years until they eventually got their permie. A couple of weeks ago they rang me asking if I could cover 1-2 days a week while said permie goes on paternity leave for 4 months. As my other contract tends to be mainly evenings and weekends and was a bit quiet at the time, I said certainly (they're nice people and have remained in contact with some of the guys there over the years.) As this is direct with them, I wrote up a contract with a 15% increase on the hourly rate and it came back all fine and is now signed off, so quite happy.
The other contract suddenly picked up the day i signed the contract so now I have to fit in trips to Toronto, Tel Aviv and Pennsylvania so some tight scheduling will have to be performed.
