> i now charge £400 a day and still do PHP work. PHP isnt cool, but i like it, it pays the bills and its in high demand and ive got a pretty nice portfolio.

Ruby and Python contractors go for ~£500, Java, ~£600. You've got a pretty impressive portfolio, if demand really is high, you should be able to charge a good deal more. If the demand really isn't higher than £400, teach yourself Ruby and/or Python.
