But if I add in the travel time, it gets horrendous. I'm not sure I'm doing it right, but if I:
- add up hours/month travelling to & from work
- add it to hours worked
- divide hours travelling by total, and multiply by 20, I get (a) days/month spent travelling.
- divide travel & accommodation cost by net income, and multiply by 20, I get (b) days/month working for expenses.
(a) is 5, and (b) is 4.5. Total 9.5 out of 20.Comment

At 0.40 a mile I get nearly all of this back in expense tax saving, but at 180 miles a day, I'm back on the old 0.25 rate before you know it, so on a normal month after the high rate is done, I'm probably about £250 out of pocket, less than a day's net income though.Cooking doesn't get tougher than this.Comment

Approx 1 hour will cover my monthly fuel bill. It's great having a local gig (my first one in 3 years!).Blood in your pooComment

7 hours a week to cover accomodation and transportation - gig was too good to turn down! Getting some good experience on the CV before I head off to Oz later in the year!
