...and I'm sure to be starting a 'What the fuck do you do about tax when you're freelance?' thread!!

I had a feeling you were on the exit carpet DaveO when you asked a portfolio question a few weeks back.
If you are still owed 40% of a salary, then presumably they are on their uppers. I thought there was a lot of work going on over there.

I see what you mean, when I quit my previous job 2 years ago I had the same feeling; freedom and independence melt with this insecurity state.
Once you tasted that it's a bit difficult to stay employed.... I plan to go back to freelance beginning of 2010 (hopefully better on the money side than last time...)Coming from neighbour studio, I'm sure freelance should turn quite good for you.

There was a fair bit of work to begin with – I helped start the studio from the beginning... but you have one or two big clients and it's a dangerous place to be – they sneeze, you catch a cold.
I actually don't care so much about the money any more, it buys freedom. Suddenly I'm really interested in work again!
