£££££'s, security(I have a no redundancy for 5 years clause), enjoyable work, Superb environment( 10 in 9 working fortnight, flexi time, 35hrs a week, Fully equipped gym, 2 squash courts, 3 football pitches, rounders, 2 rugby pitches, putting green, crochet lawn, 4 tennis courts, on site subsidised restaurant), Good bunch of people to work with, I'm well regarded and am left to just get on with it as they know I get a good job done on time hence I can play on Accyweb!
If it all went pear shaped or I stopped enjoying my circumstances then Iwould be out quicker than anyone. The contract market is picking up again and I would be happy to go into that(I have numerous friends who work the contract game). As it stands with IR35, I'd need to cover ~£90K to be much better off than I am here. I wouldn't want to work away from home so although that gives me a geographical area from ~Holmes chapel up to Lancaster and from Liverpool to Leeds I would hate to be at home for any length of time between contracts( I get bored very easily plus I'd probably enjoy looking after Siobhan too much and not want to go back to work)
So some of it is that I don't need to move, some of it is I'm happy in my lot and don't need any more money etc to be happy, some of it is sheer apathy.

PS, What time and where on Sunday, I did respond in the original thread.
