Slow start to the year but picked up a 6 month contract in June so 150 days billed. Still comfortable and got a 6 months extension starting 7 Jan so here’s to a more profitable 2019.

259 ish. Done lots of horrible 1/2 day 'outage' weekends this year.
I have 10 weeks left to run on this current contract then i'm having a few months off. I just need to somehow crawl to the finish line.

Concurrent clients for the win! And all WFH
2019 is likely to be lower, single client so far and on site working

It's more interesting than some cockwomble fumbling about with BTLs.... Again.Originally posted by fiisch View PostIs this thread to replace the shipping forecast to get excited CUK posters off to sleep this evening?
57 days, largely due to being a permie for the first 9 months of the year, but bizarrely no Christmas furlough despite there being very little to do.....
And for the record, my manhood is enormous.

Past couple of years it has been 220 days, but this year has been 237 days, despite having at least 9 weeks worth of holiday including the end of year furlough. Client overtimey goodness, and plenty more coming next year.

Bill by the hour and works out at 149 days (if 8 per day) but at the end of the year, the important thing is the nice large 6 figure sum invoiced...

I aim for about 160-180 days a year and managed 215 (still xmas eve to go.) Wasn't my highest annual total ever but it's my highest invoiced total thanks to a nice large rate rise in early summer.

280 for me..... I won't get into too much detail about how that happened.... Let's just say I was lucky with one of my clients.

240 for me.
Thats very good. What business is that?Originally posted by MarillionFan View PostI'm lucky now in the respect that I have a passive income of around 35k before contracting only really need an extra 15K a year to breakeven. So the fact I've now moved my retail to online means that's going to be around 30k profit for next year and I've still got contracting income is a bonus
