I was just wondering how many hours everyone does a week and does anyone work weekends.

We work Mon - Friday
Start at 7.30 and finish at 18.30 (11 hrs) and yes this is everyday

Thankfully because there is 2 of us we normally can get a 10-15 minute break

I work 8am-5pm, 4 days a week. And never weekends.

**mama2three** · 10-06-2011, 01:38 PM

No weekends for me either , 7am to 6pm mon - fri , occasionally 6.30 depending on traffic.

I feel really lazy now as work three days a week, one full and two half days (mindees at nursery) and then work everynight from school pick up to 5.30. suits me.

funnily enough i have just been on the phone to tax credits who wanted to know how many hours i did...

told her i did a 55 hour week

she nearly fell off her chair...i had to explain i was self employed etc.

on a positive note i massively over estimated my income for last year (i forgot to take off all my expenses) so i might get some money soon!!!

heres hoping eh?

i work 7.30 - 6.30 5 days a week - so a 55 hour week and thats before you start on paperwork/cleaning etc - makes me wonder why I bother! lol still only 6 months to go until maternity leave!

I do a 55 hour week but then spend the weekends at car boot sales/charity shops/craft fairs looking for resources. I always seem to be in childminder mode and never switch off.

**Cammie Doodle** · 10-06-2011, 02:46 PM

used to do 50 + per week now work Tues Wed and Thurs 7.15 - 6.30, but it suits as it gives me 4 day weekends EVERY weekend

**newbie1512** · 10-06-2011, 02:48 PM

I do a 60 hour week and thats not including time spent at the weekends and evening doing paperwork or getting activities ready for the next day.

I never seem to switch off but I love my job so its not too bad

**cherry** · 10-06-2011, 03:21 PM

I can really relate to this, our weekends seem to be the same, wouldn't have it any other way though
