Who works weekends?

[armyash]

Hi guys after a productive and very tiring 2012, I want to make more progress in 2013. I am going to get some business cards and leaflets printed this week and start getting them out where I live in Kent. As I live in Southampton Mon-Fri I will be putting myself out there as available day and night weekends.

I will not be doing gas work to start with as I do not have my own GSR and I want to keep costs down. Also this forces me to stick to plumbing jobs which I don't really do with the company I work for so can get some practice in.

I don't expect to be busy every weekend and I don't expect to get rich but it's the first steps towards working for myself.

Everything will be above board in regards to insurance/tax/NI etc where neccessary.

Who on this forum works weekends or do you let cashflow dictate? do you charge more for weekend work, if so how do your chrge compare to regular charges?

Thanks for reading. Happy new year to all, hope you all have a good 2013.

Pretty much let my workload dictate.
I woyld rather work seven days, then to work later at night.
I have a two year old boy, and the thought of not being there to read his bedtime story to him fills me with sadness.

Most Saturdays and Sundays when work available. We do not charge more for weekend work as it is usually a convenience for us.

I have a 2 year old girl and when I leave her on Sunday nights it's a killer.

I work weekends. The wife and I are doing a self build starting in March. So I'm frantically saving as much as possible. Which means working weekends and evenings for the next few months.


ive even given up booze! Been over 6 months since I last had a beer! Said to the wife I wouldn't drink until house is complete!
