How many hours a week?

[Johno]

When you tell someone you are a sparky they always say, you must have loadsa money, but seriously how many hours do you work on an average week to live a no frills life.

I probably do about 50-60

About 20-25 hrs a week at mo (+ about a day pricing, wholesalers and paperwork).... part timer.... been on my own about 2 months and slowly picking up.

But earning nearly same ££ as when working for big firm doing 40 hrs a week and hating it! and then having to do 2 evenings a week and every saturady private work!

Not so bad this time of year, but dont fancy 20-25hrs a week when summer is over

Been self employed for 18 months now. First half of first year was quiet doing probably 2 days a week 8-3 ish. Second half of the year picked up a bit doing 5 days a week 9-5. This first 6 months have been dead struggling to get by doing odd jobs here and there. just starting (fingers crossed) to pick up again which is good

Do this constantly even got moaned at by the boss because i am going on holiday for 2 weeks in July.

....I'd lose the will to live................................................I work to live not the other way round...................I do a flat 40 hrs 8 till 5.....if I have to work a weekend I'm not a happy bunny.....too many other things to enjoy at the weekends to waste them working.
Done the 7 days a week thing years ago,whatever I earnt a way was found to spend it....time has to be found to do the things you want to do every week, otherwise what's the point?
