I got layed off 6 weeks ago
Since then i've had a week doing a quick roll out for a college but nothing else until now.
I'm now sitting in my car in the carpark of the firm that has given me a couple me weeks work doing some really basic first line work, user account creation etc... Pay's not the best either. Had a phonecall last night offering me 6days server work (way more intersting!) for 33% more money than if I only do the two weeks here but there maybe another week on top who knows? So my question is: shall i walk from this one tonight and take the other on and hope i get something else soon or stay here and hope it get's extended further? Help! (And there's no possibility of doing both which is a shame)

Gotta go
where the cash is in this sort of situation. The best thing to do is have a word with your current employer and let them know you've been offered a better deal elsewhere. Ask them if they are going to extend the contract as this would help you to stay. If they don't extend it go and earn some more cash elsewhere.

At the end of the day, you've got bills to pay, mate.

Agreed
Be mercenary and negotiate.
