Nothing wrong with a 12 hour shift if it's earning' your own wage.  ;D
That said, you need a good work life balance.  Too often I watch these wife swop type programs and you see a very nice house and possessions and then under the surface it turns out one of them works 15 hours shifts to pay for it and never see's the kids/wife/husband.  Some "nice life"

So I'd say, whatever you feel comfortable with and whatever gives the best balance between income and lifestyle.

I do at least one every week.

That's why I can have Fridays off.  :D
Did two last week and finished work 10 a.m. Thursday. ;D

But it depends on what you want, some blokes would like to stay out the house 5 days a week and therefore spin their work out a bit..... ;)

Sod 12 hour days. Like my social life too much. Work is just a means to pay the bills. Enjoy life while you can with the ones you love.

Sunday just gone I did all the caonpies at a morisons had to work outside shop hours, so did a 5:30-10 and then 16:30-22:00. Trouble is it's rarely worth it as the next day we couldn't work due to being fatigued.

My goal is to work four 6-hour days. I started on a 4 week cycle with three days per week of work. I'm now on 6 weeks @ 5 days (weather permitting) & need to off-load some work soon!!!!

Screw 12 hour shifts! ;)
