    Given there are usually about 261 billable days (Monday - Friday) in a year, I have just worked out that I billed 262 days in the past 12 months, I am happy with that, but my god I need a holiday when this contract ends!

    That's pretty ******* sad, really.

    If I wanted to work all the time, I'd be a permie.

        When I am in a contract I take as little time off as possible, after this I have a month in Spain planned with the kids, worked out quite nicely that I am due to finish just as the kids break up for summer, I won't need to look for my next contract until February, will get bored sometime in September though and try and find something then.

          Your client let you work bank holidays, Xmas day and New Year's day? That's not bad going...

                  **** me, thats a lot. I did about 188 last year which is the most I've done in the last 4 years

                    Best/worst I did was 272, lots of weekends and I would gladly work Bank holidays which are a PITA, everyone off, can't go anywhere.
