    218.5 days - first full year contracting, and quite possibly my last...; two contracts - one I'm enjoying, one I loathed with a passion (boredom).

        133.

        Was working full time Jan to May then extended with the client on a part time basis over the summer which suited me fine. Unfortunately I had to take a couple of months off in the autumn for family reasons plus market has been slow so this year has come in below my desired average of 160-170.

        I've got a new contract starting beginning of Jan so hopefully 2020 will be back to normal.

          A veritable celebration of working and living in a capitalist economy...

              188 days billed in 2019

              4 contracts, non stop since end of February 2019 (well actually one 2 weeks gap)

              It was actually really hard work - I'm relatively newby contractor (1.5 years), back to complete latest contract in January until the end of Jan then im a free agent to find a new contract while dealing with ir35/brexit/etc

                  In 2019, disappointedly, I think I managed 175 days over 2 contracts where I was binned from. The bloody CTO put down the marker and then the last dude PM brought in his mate to replace me. It was always his intention to do and I was blind.

                  I want 2020 to be much better with clients and prospective, because I have mortgage to pay down, credit cards to hose down.
                  I just want "strong and stable" clients and I am not a tory at all.
