I leave the house at 05.15 most days and get home anywhere between 18.00 & 19.00, so generally out of the house 13-14hrs per day/65-70hrs per week with a 140mile a day round trip (I was relocated 2 years ago). We ride Thursday evenings and some Sundays.
However, redundancy is looming – I survived last time, but have opted for voluntary this time, as I've had enough – it's mostly stress and miserable faces when I get there anyway.
It's a big scary step, with large outgoings each month, I'm leaving a decent salary to go self employed. It has the potential to earn more cash and give me more free time, but is scary nontheless.
