I agree the contract market is pretty dead at the moment and looks set to get worse, lots of telcos and other hi tech companies letting staff go by the 1000s.
 
My contract is up end of September ...I am pretty sure they will renew but in the current climate they may not.
 
Anyone know how things are for contracts overseas...I wouldn't mind a change of scenery for a couple of years :)
 
Best of luck finding something Graham

No iPAQ, I really can't buying anything until I get some work, my current shopping list (of things I would have bought by now if I had been working) is as follows:
 
2 x Rel Strata II Sub
1x iPAQ
1 x Mitre Saw (probably telescopic)
1 x Planer + Frame
1 x Belt Sander + Frame
1 x Dual Processor Motherboard
2 x Processors (at least 1GHz)
1 x ATI AlW (probably Radeon)
1 x 28" Widescreen for the sitting room
6 x Speakers for various rooms
1 x 12V power supply for additional Comfort key pads and other stuff
2 x Comfort KP02
1 x Sky Digital
1 x Electrician to rewire all lighting back to LD10s and install all clipsal switches
 
There are certainly many others, but these are purchases I would certainly have made in the last 6 months. I am getting really pissed off with the totally dead contract market. During the next two weeks I will be spending £2400 plus VAT on training courses for something I really don't want to do, just because I know there is a demand for it. That money would buy a lot of what's on my list!
