@RobBiddulph Brothers in Arms, Roxy Music and Blondie... Drifting off lay on the back seat (no belts) & waking up to the last few tracks of the album. Feels like they're engrained in my subconscious memory 😴

Just driven back from the South of France. Made the kids listen to PROPER music in the car. What songs remind you of childhood holidays with your parents? For me it's The Logical Song by Supertramp. It's Love On The Rocks by Neil Diamond. It's The Diary of Horace Wimp by ELO.

@zaheer_anwar Thanks Zaheer. I usually state the number of amends etc verbally, but I'll whack it all on paper from now on. 👍

@QuesoCreative Just a simple 25-30% deposit. Also with the process, in the contract state how many times a client can come back with changes. Stops them from taking advantage as your time is money. I am more than happy to provide you with a template. DM me if you would like more details. 😁

@devoteassociate Ah-ha! Like it. I guess Queso could do the official agency thing like you. And just stop feeling guilt or awks. I'm way too relaxed and trusting obviously. Thanks Devote 😊

@Aleenah_14 Have you ever had clients refuse to pay the balance at invoice stage? It's so disrespectful - especially when I find they've gone with another 'designer' on the sly who has done a really second-rate job. #DoubleDiss

@zaheer_anwar What percentage deposit? I feel like I've been lucky for so long & now have to get my head around pre-nupping every startup I help! Always preferred a relaxed approach but maybe it's time to put my big girl pants on.

@domsotgiu Wouldn't you be put off as a relatively low budget micro business? Virtually all my clients are startups. Have always enjoyed the trust & connection we've had. Now feel like I've just been lucky... until now.

@QuesoCreative Make them sign a heads of agreement and ask for a 25% deposit before you start ?

@devoteassociate I'd expect that from an agency, but none of my freelance colleagues have ever felt the need? We just never had any issues. Thanks for your tip. Lesson learnt 😞
