Most billable days in a financial year?

I aim for 160-200 worked billable days in a year. 220 is a busy year where I'm probably not going to get much time for training and development as well as the off-time that I want. My "record" is 248 in 2011 where I took off three working days in total. I wish I hadn't, only imbeciles or those with mindless jobs can work that much without burning out.
My current consultancy piece is likely to be 160 days over a 12 month period with an average 3-4 days a week. It's interesting watching the stressed out bunnies trying to fit 16 hours into a "professional" day with five of those a week.Comment

Easily did 366+ in 08 when I first started contracting. The war chest was important to build up especially as the banking crisis was in full flow.Comment

216 so far. Expect to work the remaining working days left too.
First year contracting, will be making sure this record holds.Comment

I'll probably get somewhere in the region of 205. I'm guessing though, as last summer I was on hours rather than days for a client for about 4 months. Only my second full year, and having a big lump of time off late summer (about 5 weeks) was an odd thing to get used to.
edit - this is a lie. I've counted all of this April in here too. (when this one finishes) .. so about 185.Comment
