[QUOTE="IANTO, post: 65216, member: 942"] I must admit I don't count hours. I earn a living from office work, although most of my clients are Farmers or involved in Agriculture in some way. Day to day work is easy, and over the years I have set systems in place, that ensures I have the required information in the required format, which saves time for me, and money for them. Day to day work, I normally manage on average between 8am and 3pm, eating a Roll and Packet of Crisps while working. I could make a comfortable living from this work alone, particularly as my wife works, and enjoys her work too much, to give up until she has to. I cannot resist a challenge, or something outside my day to day work, such as to give a recent example, what a Power of Attorney, can and cannot do. If I costed the hours spend on research for "one offs", and what I should charge at an hourly rate, then I am out of pocket, but like most farmers do not count or apply a realistic rate to their worked hours. My daily occupation is mental calculations, rather than Physical Work. Putting in hours of Physical Work on the land, is in my mind equivalent to other Office Workers spending time in a Gym. [/QUOTE]
