Just as a follow-up to this I have to say thanks to everyone for giving me the guts to ask a client to wait if they want me to do a job for them. Just managed to negotiate with someone to hold off for a few weeks till I become available, so now I have four very interesting projects on the go at once.
Before I went through this thread I'd probably have been afraid to ask them to wait in case they just went and found someone else, I guess if they think they've got someone lined up with the required expertise they will be willing to hold off a bit. Now just gotta make sure I don't disappoint them. :-) But I really appreciate all the advice on this thread (and others), they've really helped me out bettering myself quite a bit over the last year and a half.
