Then another 3 months . . . and another . . . and another.

You'll have a bit of money but no-one will ever allow you to have any financial responsibilities on a temporary, sod-all contract.

you have to go four years under temporary contracts before being made permanent it is supposed to be only two years because of MTSF agreement at royal mail afaik this type of thing allways happens during recessions i remember the last two hopefully things will pick up and there will be crying out for you..or to take you on permanently..
