How hard do you work?
Well, who here can beat this then (I'm sure someone can!)I must be mad, I do 2 days, 2 nights and 4 days off with the Fire Brigade, Have my own Intruder Alarm company (A.H Security Solutions)in which I work inbetween my nights and all days off,so sometimes I do 2 days and nights non stop. (except weekends, that's for quoting potential new customers) I do a bit of extra Medical/Rescue cover for a the MSA at Motorsport events and for Top Gear, and I've just started as an Army Cadet Instructor aswell. and, I have my first child coming in 8 weeks! 
On average, I do 90 hours a week, not counting paperwork and quotes at home on the pc. How much do I make, enough to buy my toys
but not enough to be loaded, far from it 
I just love keeping busy.
Anyone better that?

Tell me about it, my Father was a Station Officer for nearly 30 years and a chippy/sparky/decorator in his spare time but they came down so heavily on him and the lads that most of them stopped it because of the hassle!
I know just about everyone is at it. My sister is joining (when Hampshire opens up again
) and wants to do her care work in her days off! Lol
