I am UK based, I don't have fixed hours - my contract is for hours to do the job.

I know for some people that would be a scary concept BUT for me it actually works really well.  I am usually at my desk for around 40 hours each week, but some of that may be at home evenings or weekends.  When I need to be home for deliveries or whatever during the working day I don't have a problem doing that; and if the bus gets held up in traffic I am not late for work - I just make the hours up.

Everyone in my immediate office works on this basis and it creates a very relaxed working environment, the work gets done and there are much lower levels of work related stress. 

I love it and would really struggle to work fixed hours
