Title: Feast or Famine
Post by: Nick on September 25, 2018, 02:58:00 PM
Everyone who is self employed know that work is either feast or famine. This year has been mainly famine.

In the last hour I have had two phone calls:

1. Can I be in Ely on the 9th to discuss a contract
2. Can I be in Leamington Spa this week to discuss a contract
