All the figures were checked through as I received my official letter to sign so all present and correct. Somewhat demoralising the actual figure compared to some people I know (different company and contract) who have had treble what I've had for the same length of service. Already had a couple of contacts spread the word and meeting up with them in the few weeks.

I did consider going freelance but the software I need is getting on for £7k plus £2k for a machine to run it less monitors is too much to plough in at this time.
