Other guy quit months earlier. They didn't bother asking me about renewal until a week before my contract finished. Would have loved the money but life is too short and I've been forced to spend time chilling out which doesn't come naturally to me. Actually a good place to work with great people but life is too short. Apologies for brevity, I'm on my mobile in the garden after finishing the decoration for our wedding reception at home!

Congratulations on your upcoming nuptials.

I would be interested to know how it turned out if you went back to them after your honeymoon to see if you could get a new contract then.

Apologies for the delay - I was getting married :D

No I wouldn't go back, certainly not rightaway. It was a contractor role anyway, plus to be fair it forced me to have some time off i've not had in a couple of years, I don't like taking days off, and with the UK being the hottest it's been for ages it's actually turned out quite well. I've worn shorts for the first time in my life :D

I will say the company was awesome to work for, with great people, but the organisation/organisation was... lacking. Most places i've contracted at they've asked me at worst a month before "so, are you renewing?"
