Well spotted Mich you are indeed correct, many moons (4 years) ago when I worked in Companies House they allowed people to actually be 14hrs 48mins down on their flexi-time clocks and you can imagine how many people did and still do take advantage of this perk.

I want to work a lot less, I currently do 32 hours which means I have lots of money in retained earnings that I cant get at without paying extra tax.

Id like to do one week a month next year, which easily pays all the bills and will enable me to draw the money out.

Well when they only work 35 hours a week, they're obviously not going to get the job done.
