Unfortunately. I have so much going on during the week that I end up working on weekends.

If you're not constrained by having a partner who works a five-day week or children with a five-day school week, one of the advantages of freelance work is that you can work any time you like and do other things when free of work. | | | A combination | Apr 21, 2018 |
Sometimes I take weekends off, sometimes I don’t, it all depends on the amount of work I have and on the deadline. If I have no work at all and the weather is not good, I might complete some procrastinated domestic chores (ironing, for instance), but right now, and until the middle of May, I’m on a period with no weekends off in sight and long hours every day as I’m editing a very long e-course and at the same time trying to keep all my other regular clients happy… | |

On Sunday I relax and read and the highlight of my weekend is talking to my children by phone or via Skype. | | | Angus Stewart United Kingdom Local time: 22:34 Member (2011) French to English + ...

Over the winter when it is gloomy outside I often take on some additional work over the weekend to earn a little extra.
