How do you invoice your clients?

Talking about providing clients with detailed time tracking... At the moment, I have an excel invoice that I created and each day I put the date a brief (very brief) description of what I did and plug in the time I spent doing it. I use formulas and have my hourly rate in there so it figures it all out for me. I also have a section at the bottom where I have the mileage (also formula based) and can add all other additional charges (my client insists on paying me mileage and for all materials, but I haven't really had many since the start of the project). Anyhow, I'm curious, is it normal business practice to tell them what you did and how much time you spent on something or do you only provide that if they ask?
