No wonder you are busy, but why the hell are you doing it? At that =
rate,
even with 100% utilisation and no holidays, sick days etc. you are =
looking
at =A315k earnings. Take off cost of doing business and employer NI =
etc. and
why don't you go get a full-time job and stop wasting your life? =
Seriously
you need to rethink your pricing model. Either you can deliver enough
quality in a day to justify closer to =A3300/day or you are in the wrong
profession. Assuming you can deliver that quality why are you =
undervaluing
your own skills so badly. =20

Yes there is competition from overseas, but that does not mean every
developer should be charging Indian rates. Do you get your goods at =
indian
prices? Then you can't afford to work at their prices.
