Was supposed to be out for 7.30 to do a café before it gets busy ... normal time I leave is 9am to avoid school run traffic and other rush hour traffic ... school traffic always make me smile ... they park in side roads as all schools near me have no parking lines outside then they get all stressy when you don't let them out - unless their a fit milf  ;D

Come the summer though will be aiming to be on the glass for 8.30am

Café will be getting done tomorrow - its becoming a grudge clean as insides in kitchen have bars fitted and always get my arms minging in dried grease  >:(

930am i tend to start domestics in the winter months(leave house around 9am)sometimes earlier if i have commercials to do first thing.

i never start before 10am if working a saturday.

spring/summer i tend to start at 9am most days.

im usually up at 630am -7am but i need 2 hours to wake up gently/ have breakfast/make packed lunch and flask before i leave the house/check worksheets for the day/catch up on news/weather and CIU! ;D ;D
price higher/work harder!

I try and leave home at 8am, sometimes it's around 8.30am depending if the kids are ready on time.

Used to finish around midday most days but it's gone crazy over the last year, now I'm lucky to be done by 2pm. Today I'll finish around 4pm I reckon as got some add one to do.

Out the house every day between 6 and 6:30. Get the commercial jobs out of the way before the rest of the world wakes up. Rarely work past 4pm, usually around 2pm.

Yes every single day apart from Sunday's. Sometimes just an hour, sometimes will be commercial work all day. I'm naturally an early riser so I prefer it that way.

We book work to run 8 to 3:30 all through the year.  That way, we don't take on work in summer that we can't keep up-to-date in winter.  It also means we all get to enjoy the summer afternoons and evenings.

today and monday left at 6.30 for commercial

Most days leave 8.45 to do school run then get to work for 9.30 hate starting that late

if i didnt do school run i would be on the glass for between 8-8.30 everyday

and as early as necessary for commercial, so my answer is all different times :)
