how much would you want for a days work

I have been self employed for the last 22 years and usually get paid a good fee per day.
Because I work in construction the trade is dead at the mo.
I have been offered £90 a day plus fuel for the next 6 months(I can still do my own work if it comes in)
Ok its not a fortune to some people ,but how much would you take to keep busy?

Considering £90 a day works out at like £22k a year that's pretty good..

Personally at my age I'd happily take £55 or so....

£90 quid a day and a crack on if you get somethin else sounds like a minter to me
i would kill for 90 a day

£90 a day lucky you i'm at the £50 mark and at 32 cut hour's making feck all take what you can get not much going out there at the minute.

I get paid about £16 a day. Would like more i suppose 50+ a day would be ideal

its just a bit of a come down as I normally get double.Not trying to rub it in ,but for yrs people have been happy to pay it.
I turned up to fix some marble in a bathroom and the walls were not even built,so just got my gear out and built the wall myself.
The main contractor was so happy he offered me the contract that night.
One problem though.......I took it from his step son who spends his day dossing

If it's money in the bank and you can still do your own work I'd take it!

shouldnt have been a lazy bugger then don't worry about it

Sounds good to me considering the trade and the situation!

If it means you can pay the bills and there's nothing else atm, I'd go for it.

I've had to take a job with a £10k/year pay drop. It solved an immediate problem.
