Given there are usually about 261 billable days (Monday - Friday) in a year, I have just worked out that I billed 262 days in the past 12 months, I am happy with that, but my god I need a holiday when this contract ends!

That's pretty ******* sad, really.

If I wanted to work all the time, I'd be a permie.

When I am in a contract I take as little time off as possible, after this I have a month in Spain planned with the kids, worked out quite nicely that I am due to finish just as the kids break up for summer, I won't need to look for my next contract until February, will get bored sometime in September though and try and find something then.

Your client let you work bank holidays, Xmas day and New Year's day? That's not bad going...

After they get rid of you () I am bloody well making sure that the last 6-7 weeks before hard go live everything is in place for me to ride off into the sunset having made more money out of this project than the Client

That's 8 hour days ... Billed a lot more than that year before last ... ... Something north of 390 days ...

**** me, thats a lot. I did about 188 last year which is the most I've done in the last 4 years

Best/worst I did was 272, lots of weekends and I would gladly work Bank holidays which are a PITA, everyone off, can't go anywhere.
Averaging about 202 over the last 7 years tho, not entirely by my choice but still coining it....
