    50 to 60 hours a week but that's okay (I like to be kept busy). Work from home at least 3 days a week which helps.
    I guess I would do 50-60 hours for about £700/day, so hope you are getting something like that for it.

    and congrats

    Congrats!

    Try learning from your mistakes next time. Also think about the next contractor and what they will expect from them. You may want to over work your self into an early grave, but it's not on my bucket list.

    50-60 hrs week assuming 5 billable days = 10-12 hours per day.
    Would I bill daily? Would I bollax unless they were paying me 1.5x market rate.

    Then again, would I want to do this many hours a week on a regular basis anyway? Nope - would rather earn less and have a life. Short term no problem as long as its paying but long term no way.

    Then again, wfh helps I guess....
