4 days a week Tues-Fri (Friday is working from home). I work 8-4 generally but it is flexitime so doesn't really matter.

I wanted Monday's off so that I benefit from having the bank holidays added onto my AL.

I work 30 hours over Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Accountant. Having Wednesday as my non-working day breaks the week up nicely!

HMBB · 20/06/2019 19:37

I do 21 hours a week in an office (mostly). During term time I do 4 x 5.25 hour days so I can do drop off and pick up and during holidays I do 3 x 7 days as it makes childcare easier.

Merryoldgoat · 20/06/2019 19:41

I work Weds-Fri 9:30-5. I like Monday’s off and Fridays in the office but I am totally shattered all day Saturday.

ScrumpyBetty · 20/06/2019 19:43

Tuesdays 9-2
Thursdays and Fridays 9-5
I work in mental health

BooseysMom · 20/06/2019 19:44

I work Mon, Tues, Thurs. 9.15 - 2.45. I love it. Wed is the best day to have off as it's quiet and i get the shopping done.
Worked f/t for 20 yrs then had DS and swapped jobs to NHS admin just 5 mins drive away. After commuting long distances for years i finally got lucky! The only issue is i can't get any more hours and the pay is dire being NHS admin. But can't see the point of moving to a job further away for more money as that soon gets used on travel

MrsPworkingmummy · 20/06/2019 19:46

Previously Mon - Thurs, 9 - 5 in an accounting firm.

Now it varies depending on workload/what suits me but mainly Mon - Wed, 830 - 4 and will change to do 21 hours over 4 days when DC start school to allow for pick ups. Still an accountant but now industry based.

Retail, I can choose to suit myself so I generally do Mon, Wed, Fri & Sat. Will swap Fri for Sun when we do Sunday opening (I prefer to have my days off in the week when it is quieter & now DS is 18 he doesn’t want me to be around & DH & I are not that fussed about spending time together Grin.)

MaryShelley1818 · 20/06/2019 21:12

I work for the Local Authority Children’s SS and do 30hrs over 3 days - Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday.
I love having Mondays off and also don’t mind working Fridays as everyone is in a good mood 😄 Much prefer this pattern to 3 days in a row as have an 18mth old.
