Currently my hours are:

Alarm goes off at 5am
In for work at 6am
Meant to finish at 4pm
But of late i'm finishing at 9/10/11pm

My base hours per week are 50, but they can vary a hell of a lot of late, average is around the 80 mark - Christmas week i did 127hrs!

used 2 leave the house at 6 to start work around 7-7.30ish, then used 2 finish work at 7pm and get home for around 8ish.

Now had all our overtime cut and back too core hours so finish at 4.30 and home by about 6ish. Hate it cos i hit rush hour traffic now and i relied on the overtime to pay for fuel etc. Do 45miles each way so fuel bills are pretty high!!

Working day for me depends on what I feel like as I work flexi. Supposed to be a 7hour 24min day / 37 hour week, but I usually do about 38 hour week.

Leave home at 7:50, drop mum in town, at work for 8:15am, leave at about 4:10pm with 20 mins for lunch.

Up at 8 am out to walk my two bulldogs at 8.30ish, back home till 9.45 I walk dogs for a living.

Pick first 4 dogs up by 10 am for a one hour walk.

Next 4 dogs for another hours walk.

Same again with another 4 dogs for another hour.

Same again for one hour.

That's 4 hours walking dogs and around an hour and a half in between them all sorting them all out and dropping them of etc at their homes.

About 5 and a half hours in total, earns some decent money as it is Ł10 per dog per hour and i have just took insurance out to have dogs stay with me in my home over night.

I also sell meguiars what just involves a trip to the post office around 4.15.

I also spend alot of weekends with clients at sporting events, concerts or holidays...

In fact I dont think ANYONE works longer hours than me!
i thought i done a lot of hours lol. but at least you get paid 5 times as much, probably more

im a service engineer, out the door for 6.30am and can get in any time. usually around 6, 6.30 pm, sometimes 8.30pm. rarely do less than 10.5 hours a day (usually 12) if im away from home it will be 14+ hour days as hotels suck ass...

last month i done 112 hours overtime

75+ hour weeks, also suck ass!
