    Start at 8, leave at 4

    Pick up daughter from nursery and home by 5.

    I'm knackered all the time, I'm a natural late night person so having a wee yin has been a bit of a shock to my system.
    Describes my setup almost exactly except have now got nipper No 2 so double knackered ! I try and leave at 3:59 to try and beat the warehouse staff out the gate who have to wait by the clock until bang on 4.

      Current Gig

      05:00
      07:30
      15:30
      17:30 - Then do some work for another client. So I finish / go to bed about 10pm

      New Gig
      08:00
      08:30
      16:30
      16:45 - Then do some work for another client (double billing is nice). So I finish / go to bed about 10pm


      I'll be retired by the time I'm 30 (5 years - at this rate it might just be possible). See many people think they are going to be retired by the age of 30 then they get married and have kids. But I have confidence that my looks and personality are of a sufficent calibre to keep the women away and actually make it a reality.

      See how many of you now wish you were an ugly social outcast with no social skills. Yeah...thats how I roll.

        As I'm benched at the moment (only just started looking), this was always a typical day. I spend most of my time working in the smoke.

        05:30 wake up
        06:00 leave house
        08:30 arrive work
        17:30-18:00 leave work
        20:00 arrive home

        Theres a lot of people in here doing long days.

        You forgot to post your own stats Clippy.

          Double billing... nice work

          Retiring by 30... Mmmm... but you can't carry on living at your mums , are you budgeting for a house? According to the papers your looking at 200k per child to bring them up, so I think I'll leave out the kids as well.

          I've took 3 months off and now I don't think I could retire at all. I'd get too bored. I'm looking properly now, if I take any more time off I'm gonna start chewing the sofa.

                What time do you wake up?
                When the Mrs' poxy alarm goes off at 6:35

                What time do you start work?
                About 9/9:30 depending on how efficient I am in the morning

                What time do you leave work?
                Depends, normally 8.5 hours after I start.

                What time do you get home?
                Tend to go for a swim afterwork - so around 7ish.

                  My housing situation is fine

                  Yes I am looking for a house. Just Leicester doesn't really have any nice areas to move to the are close to the center and near the motorway. I could always move to spinney hills

                  Not having kids. If I do I'll make them work for their keep.

                    A fine tradition, just a shame there aren't any pits/mills to send them off to any more.

                      Holy Christ, some of you guys seem to work work longer hours than Maggie Thatcher.

                      Just remember:

                      Makes a man healthy, and wealthy, and dead...
