    32 hours a week, over 4 days, rarely do overtime.


    Self employed, usually one full day from 8 am til 11pm on and off. Also any evenings when I feel like it or want the money.

    Secondary school Teacher, so varied hours.

    During term time, Monday to Friday I arrive at 7.30 am and leave at 4pm. I then work 7pm until 9pm marking and preparing lessons. At weekends I will do another 5 to 8 hours. During the term time holidays, I do probably about 16 hours a week, then the summer holiday as little as possible!

    If you average it out, it is well over 45 hours a week.

    Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    4pm to 8pm everyday.
  • Contractor/consultant to a global business. Paid daily. Yesterday I started at 6:15am, still working at gone 8pm. Today I had a lie-in and started working at 6:45am, but I'm still working now. Do solid days Monday to Friday, and a few hours (which I don't bill) on Sundays as I have colleagues in the Middle East.

    Self employed so choose my own hours to fit around ds. But generally:


    Term-time 9:30 -2/2:30 Monday to Friday . Some work very late at night at times or bit of online marketing as and when during the rest of the day and weekends. Occasional weekend nights.


    School holidays late at night (like now!) or early morning with bits that I can do, if ds is occupied, randomly dotted throughout the day

    Did you post with the wrong 'alias' the second time around or are you confused about your times?
