Evenin'Latest at 7pm from the HH on behalf of them; "please give Battered our apologies that we haven't come back with a formal offer. We are 99% there, but we need to go back to one more person to confirm the day rate".
So sounding positive, but I am not getting my hopes up - things can still fuck up.
In the meantime I have been fitting a new bathroom suite for a friend.

Sounds like a done deal mate.If they have a budget for the role, then it sounds very much like they just need to work out what that is.
Are you hoping to go in as a Ltd, or through an umbrella?

Umbrella this time I think. We're within 5% on the day rate and I am not pushing it for the initial six months.
Not used an umbrella before. Any company you'd recommend?

Depends how long you think you'll be there.The charges can vary. It would be worth asking the HH who they'd recommend, as they'll have people they've got a good relationship with.

It's for 6 months on paper, however the HH has placed 6 other people there (in other functions) over the last year and apparently each contract has been extended.Really nice people too.
EDIT: Seems from what I have research online that the costs vary massively. Given the DR (which I'll gaz rather than mention) I could get stung if not careful.

More money to be made if you go in as a Ltd.You can pay yourself £620 a month and take a quarterly dividend. Umbrella wise, do some research, as depending on how you are able to rape the expenses, you can save a lot of tax.

Done Ltd before. A lot of hassle re IR35. A lot of the umbrellas seem to claim they can help get around this.Need to see a formal offer first!

Surely IR35 only counts if you're a sole trader?If you make yourself an employee, it doesn't touch you.
I remember mr b3th being worried when it came in, but he's never been affected by it.

I'm guessing most people leave for workAt about half seven in the morning, and look to get home between six and eight in the evening.
What 'away from home' hours would you be comfortable with?

Assuming the average working day is eight hoursthen maybe nine or ten hours. Twelve just seems to a bit long for me. Considering I can barely function on less than ten hours sleep a night, that would only leave me two hours where I wasn't either working or asleep.
I dunno. Maybe I'm just unrealistic. Does everyone else spend twelve hours out of the house?
