Thank you all for your comments. Our client has today asked us to do some
further work but wants a quote on a fixed price for it. He has hardly even
mentioned what the work is. We're going to email him tonight to put
ourselves on a proper footing from now on. We have actually incorporated
ourselves and that has now come through (this came from our client too,
they were having a tax audit and they wanted to know who we were and what
our tax reference was). So they way I see it, they want us to be a
bona-fide web design company for their taxman and a student and his mate
for their accounts-payable.

I have taken all your comments on board and we will definitely be a bit more
forceful from now on and hopefully business-like. I suppose we are lucky to
be in a position where we don't need to take any job, but if we do I would
like to make sure we do a good job.
