Does this mean in the days following the casting of the spell the two spells don't take up spell slots as they have already been cast as a part of a previous days spell allocation? Or, does a contingency spell 'in effect' always take up a sixth level slot? Cheers, Groove

Which is to say, the slots can be refilled with other spells, and not in any way affect the Contingent spell. You might be thinking of Imbue with Spell Ability, which i believe does take the donor's slots out of action.
