    225 billable days + about another 50 days worth from fixed price stuff

      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.

        237 billed days - lots of half days for kids appointments or wife being sick.

          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.

              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
