$40.000 to start, not sure about Km, I will have to ask, $40k didnt seem that much to me , I'm on more at the moment, hence the post.

40k here is likely alot different than there - 40k isn't a bad yearly income but a second income would be needed for alot of locations (cost of rent etc...)

i agree with james. ask for three weeks, that's a good recognition of yer skilz. $40k, tho, isn't bad, especially because our cost of living is A LOT less than in the UK. yeah, second income would help big time; but i seem to recall your wife is a nurse -- so the combo would be fine.
