I feel as though I have worked more than any other year, yet having just counted up I will have amassed only 170 by the time I ride off into the sunset tomorrow. Perplexing.
EDIT: Christ, I am thick. I tend not to work Fridays. And it's 199 days anyhow. Not 170.Last edited by I just need to test it; 20 December 2016, 12:12.Comment

looking at invoices, I've had 21 days off, which will include bank holidays, so 240 days.
need to take more time off next year. last year I was benched for about 3 months, so warchest took a big hit, so was reluctant to take much time off. built up a bit now so gives me some breathing space.Comment

According to Freeagent, I've only billed 213 days. A bit lower than I was expecting really, considering that I have been in contract all year...
I do target 220 billable days per year, and at least my financial year (September to September) was 220.5 days
I don't contract so I can work all the hours god sends and I'm finding a decent work/life balance. Quite enjoying this furlough week, as the kids are still in school until Friday

12 days billed but that was enough to buy another 2 BTLs in the center of London

Blimey. This thread is an eye opener. I thought most of us worked for the flexibility. I'm surprised at those that just had half days with family or no holidays at all? I had 2 family hols, a lads holiday, went on tour and plenty of long weekends etc cause I can. It must be me that's doing something wrong
