Not sure it's relevant but was interesting speaking to Paystream today. They offered to pay me my holiday pay upfront so I don't get paid when I'm off or they can keep it and pay me. I've indicated I want it all now but am waiting for someone to explain it in more detail before I finalise it.

Absolutely. We are still responsible for running our companies at the end of the day and thinking back I've had to make corrections to stuff in the past. Conversely the three month check my accountant offers has caught a number of things I've done wrong e.g. I put postal through so infrequently I keep...

Remember you can always speak to your accountant on that package as well so can ask them anything and everything and take up hours of their time a year.

If you do want someone for the standard contractor offering the ones I would be looking at are Gorilla who I'm with and still happy but they have gone big sausage factory. Medium sized I'd say Maslins but he has stepped away I think so need to speak to him to understand the situation nowadays. Smaller...Last edited by northernladuk; Yesterday, 11:16.

So why have they arrested him if the car was faulty? And to still be in custody? Is not all as it seems or is this the process until they find out what really happened?...

I did about 14 years ago. Met the other half and moved in to her 3 bed new build. Perfectly decent house but a converted bunglow came up. Odd thing on split levels with multiple extensions over the decades. We went and had a look and we couldn't not buy it. Cashed everything I had in, shares, two BTL's...

Done all the above. Could cover all of them with a few well planned holidays over a few years.
Why would you want this on your bucket list? As a daft kit I tried half an E in Ibiza before we went to Manumission. Ended up jumping in the pool in the middle and cracking my head on the side...

Not quite. It's common for there to be a raft of agents advertising Gov gigs. There was one in Taunton that sent my inbox in to freefall a few weeks ago as well. Just the way the gov frameworks work....

How many holidays? I've never had a problem with holidays coming up early in a gig. I say early it's never been less than 6 weeks in. I find it hard to believe all three turned you down just because you've a week off... or is it two weeks in which case you can kinda see their problem....

First question to ask any recruiter is if they are on fixed commission or not and get them to put it on a mail. They generally won't lie if it's going on an email. If they confirm they are on fixed commission so you can be pretty sure they aren't taking an extra cut of the commission to line their pockets....

Not sure how the slapstick comedy will work in this day and age but I'll be half looking forward to this. That said. I can't stand Liam Neeson. I find him hard to watch in whatever he's in. There are a couple of actors that 'act' in the same way regardless of type of movie if that makes sense. Ryan...
