Okay so this isn't a really common phrase, but I'll do my best to use it in a sentence for ya. "Everyday on end there are 500 kids in my grade." I'm pretty sure this makes sense, if not heres a definition of the phrase "on end": "On end" means "without a break", which has been changed over time so that "days on end" now often means "several days"

Hope this helps you ;) -BG

When something happens for hours, days, weeks, or years on end, it happens continuously and without stopping for the amount of time that is mentioned.

He is a wonderful companion and we can talk for hours on end.

I spend days on end in this studio.
