Bloody hell, my other half would of made me work that and then go away for a fortnight!
I dont price days off or worry about their value - its a day off... Instead focus on going out for a good coffee and enjoy the world! Somethings you really cant price and those are your family, your health and a bit of R & R's value for your body and soul is priceless.
Im with you david
i would of given the wife the choice because i know what she would say to that
I would have spoken to my wife, we'd agree on a wee holiday, then I'd do the job, then more work would get booked in and the money would get spent without knowing where!!
If I wanted a day off but a client wanted work done I guess it would indeed take close to the 500 in the title to encourage me to work it instead.
At the moment with college still running, I'm working near 6 days plus the 7th for college (though that's not really working is it?) ..anyway, I've come to the conclusion that working almost 7 days is a bit much, so to be honest its not money, its spending time with the family that I miss. Agree with Harry, ok 2500 is a mental amount of money for a single days work but he has a heart to put the other half first and you got to applaud people for that!
Why are you guys working??? Ask yourself that, it is to be rich and be a millionaire or have a family.... sometimes though saying no, sorry I can't work is the hardest thing to say to my clients, crazy
You have got a family and are working 7 days a week ? Shame on you. Life is to short to think about money. Unfortunately one of my sisters is such a fat beached whale she wants every thing done for her.
I say family I mean, Mum and girlfriend, I havent got kids if that's what you mean Stuart. Genera;;y speaking I have had a day off but things seem to have got a bit out of hand at the moment and the girlfriend wants a nice holiday, so I will work bloddy hard to get that for her..
Also my van had a huge bill for the dpf had to be replaced, it will soon be up for sale, as I only do short runs and it isn't worth risking it again. So to be fair, yes I agree, if I can cut down a day and make myself to more fixed priced jobs I will do so. But first I have a month til college finishes and also got to sell the van. There isn't enough hours in a day :(
