I'm planning on finishing on the 23rd and going bk on the 3rd jan.any work that doesnt get completed wont get done until next year.ill get it done unless we get a repeat of last years big freeze!cant see it happening again this year though!

The 2nd Jan is a bank holiday due to new years day falling on a sunday so a straight 10 days off for me.

Regards

I would work Christmas Eve but there are Elf and Safety issues.
I keep tripping over the little buggers, as they are unloading the sleigh.

Every year I aim to have the week off between Xmas and New Year.  Every year I don't manage it.  This year I will aim to have that week off again - apart from the few little weekly/twice weekly jobs that I have.

Don't you guys who work seemly all the time get bored of window cleaning? ??? I always have a good 7-10 days off at xmas.

Do you think some of you are workaholics?

Don't get me wrong I work hard but I know when to take a break!

Last working day on Friday 23rd. Now i've found out Monday 2nd is a Bank Holiday, looks like i'll be going back on the 3rd.

Sod working on commercials through the holiday period. Fair play to those that do but not for me i'm afraid.

same here.

somtimes i hate reluctantly taking a day off and it turns out to be dry weather.  Fair enough if i take time off for holiday i want it dry then.
 but if i have to take it off when i dont really feel like, it can bucket it down for all i care

Will prolly take the lot off - but I might have a security gatehouse roof, cladding and glass clean which will be ideal to do for a full day in the week between Xmas and New Year as the factory shuts down and I won't have to play lorry dodging.
