Around 238 for me - Not a lot of holidays, but a month looking in the mid-year doldrums.
Been taking a lot of weekend breaks, and a lot of home working opportunities, with the client also being local, so not too bad. I am aiming for a good couple of months off around the spring time to re-charge.

Bit of a strange one - 3 different day rates across the year so billable days v total revenue/profit before tax are very much two different things. More successful than I'd expected in April, so it's all good.

Just checked, I'm on 205 at the end of today, so reckon I'll come in 225/226. Happy with that.

Personally, currently, I wouldn't have the capacity to do much more in a day, but totally understand what you are getting at in monetary terms there

I know I could command significantly more if I got into it, and/or worked in London, but I do well enough in my provincial WFH gig, and would rather be happy and comfortable than rich and miserable.
