Hi Dan,
Maybe Tom Marble's timesheet..el is what you are looking for
https://github.com/tmarble/timesheet.el
As I recall if was discussed on this list awhile ago. Also see his
interview with Sacha Chua's interview with Tom
http://emacslife.com/emacs-chats/chat-tom-marble.html
Hate to say this, but I still haven't tried it myself.
