What hours do you work during the week??

Mine's just about to go onto full livery (as soon as I can find a suitable place)

My work varies loads so I just can't commit to being at the yard when I need to be.

Currently if I am working from home I do 9-5 and often another 1-2 hours in the evening.
If I am working from clients offices I leave the house at 7 and get back around 7
I also work in the city on an ad hoc basis and again I am looking at 7am-7pm
Plus I fly to europe a fair bit which is often 4.30/5am - 10/11pm

Can you tell from the amount I am posting today I am on a working from home day!!!
 
I don't work at the moment as I'm on maternity leave, but will be returning to do 20 hours per week. I wouldn't have had my horses on full livery, but it has been impossible to find decent DIY round here and I wanted the facilities offered by my yard, so I had to bite the bullet!
 
My normal hours are 8am - 3.30pm, but I regularly work til 5.30pm and later, and occasionally have to work away from home. My horse went onto full livery about a month ago, as I couldn't guarantee what time I could get to the yard every day, and I felt that a more regular routine would be better for him.
 
I work in London & start at 7.30am, so leave home at about 6.30am. I normally finish at about 5.15pm & get home at about 6.15pm & at the yard by 6.30pm, but I might have to work late at short notice, plus I have client functions & meetings after hours as well, so it can be later.
Full livery means I know they are done whatever work or the trains

throw at me!!
 
I get to the office for 7 and the market that I trade closes at 6, but because I am self employed I don't always work those hours. There are times when I'll be finished by 9am, but it's easier for him to be done, because I can't guarantee anything.
 
I work from 9.30am from 2.30pm. The rest of the time I am a mum to two boys. So my hours start when the get up and finish when they go to bed. Luckily they go to bed at 7.30pm.
 
I am a secondary school teacher in South London, I am usually in school by 7.30-7.45am. We work 4 long days and a short Friday. Monday-Thursday I rarely leave before 5.30-6pm.
Alternate Thursday I am at University in Canterbury till 9pm then drive home.
On a Friday we finish at 2pm and whenever possible I am in my car ready to go straight to the yard with my bags packed!
Half-terms and holidays are fantastic but working in a school is very inflexible and so competing midweek or arranging any visits during term-time is a no, no! Luckily I have an amazing YO who is there for the farrier, Dentist, Vet, back lady etc, etc.
I honestly don't think I could do Diva DIY with the hours and unpredictable nature of what I do.
