Being young & stupid did 7 to 7 Mon - Thurs, 7 to 4 Fridays and 7 to 3 on Saturdays for 5yrs, reached the point I didn`t know what day of the week it was.
 
To be fair I don't start till 9:00/9:30am but I do finish around 7:00pm or later. It suits me, I'd love to start at 7am but just can't do it. I'm terrible in a morning...

same but half the time i cant get into places until 9-9.30am but otheres im in at 5am
 
What noise can you make at 5am, is this commercial?

yea only time you can get in other than from 9pm till 7am
 
only did it for a few months when I was getting going in this business, used to relief milk for a local farmer, up at 4.30 milking at 5.00 finished at 8.45 and off for a days property maintenance/plumbing. or do the evening shift aafter work and weekend am and pm. The best customers I ever had, all 250 of them.
 
i used to leave home at 7 for work at 8, do a backboiler to combi conversion with vertical flue, all flushed and tested and back home for 8pm. did that for nearly 2 years. My concience at throwing the work in got the better of me and i quit. i thought that was hard work - the young lad doing the house next to me had it all done by dinnertime!!!!

When I worked for iguana that was a short day for me.

If I was lucky I would have a job near me but most of the time I was leaving home at 6-6:15 to be at merchants for 7:30, usually leave merchants about 10 by the time they got the order through, do my days work then leave for home usually 8 at the earliest.

I couldn't just lob everything in and tried to do every job to a good standard.
 
I couldn't do any of that amount of work now. I'd quit and become a post man.
 
I dont Usually start till around 9:30 and try to finish at 4:30pm
But If im on a good paying job and need to get the work done, I can start at Half 8 and work till 6pm without stopping or having lunch
