Bang on track this year for pretty much a full 2 weeks off.
Have a half day of commercial to do on Monday 21st then off until Monday 4th January. (will have to do a few shops one morning between Xmas and new year but only a couple hours work)
What about you?
-
Not stopping this year.
-
If weather stays ok I’ll be finishing up on Tuesday 22nd, starting back Monday 4th January.
-
22nd last day to the 4th Jan
Happily I have no presents to wrap this year as the Amazon boxes are good enough
-
Had planned to finish Friday - too much work so we're in until Tuesday
Back on the 4th

Christmas eve thats when alot off tips come in 😇
-
You lot haven’t got enough work. ;D
Either that or I’ve got too much. I’ll be working Christmas Eve and even then there will be a few days work I won’t have got round in December.
It’ll be there in January though I’m sure. Looking forward to some down time.

I’ve got plenty enough work 😀 I could happily work right upto Xmas and then work between Xmas and new year too. I’m choosing not to though. Bit of downtime and reacharge the batteries after the silly year we’ve had.

You have too much work!

I'm finishing on the 22nd and going back 4th jan so a straight 12 days off....
Off to stay at a 10 bedroom house near black rock sands in wales for 3 days(xmas eve,xmas day,boxing day)with 9 members of my family.....its cost my brother over £2k for 3 nights!
-
I always find that the time off over xmas always leaves a bit of time for reflection.....this includes making decisions to drop some jobs and a sort out of my van,etc.....
-
Sort out your van? What flick a duster around?
-
Lad who works for me is finishing tuesday 22nd. I might work the 23rd but maybe not.
Will be completely up to date by the time we finish but will be almost 2 weeks behind when we go back :'(
I was going to have thursday/friday off this week so i might drag next monday and tuesdays work forward. Then again i might not,
Cant really be arsed lol its been a long year with hardly any downtime, be glad of the break sod the money.
-
Planned to finish on Monday lunchtime but just had a regular school book in a clean for the Tuesday, so Tuesday I’ll now be finishing.

Thats annoying, nothing worse than getting an extra job when you think you have finsished for the week ;D
Sometimes im out cleaning, almost done for the day then next door will come out "can you clean mine" i always say next time as just dont need that when i think im going home....
-
I don't tend to have a lot of time off. I'll be working up until the 22nd or possibly 23rd and then back on Monday the 28th. Will just have the Friday off for that week (New Years Day).
-
Finish on 23rd and probably go back on 2nd, see how I feel.
-
Will finish up on the 23rd, go back on the 4th
-
I’ve been locked in with Griff for 9 months haven’t left the house we are about to have our first baby together 👶 🍼 🤣🤣🤣🤣
-
Finish 23rd and back 4th Jan, weather permitting. Sneaking to tier 2 area this Friday night for a meal and some drinks with the lads.

We ve been in tier 3 for ages now Dave.....I think we re getting moved down to tier 2 today....
Anyway it doesn't matter....as from the 23rd you can do (and go)where you want for 5 days regardless of what tier you re in....👍😛
-
I’ve given up trying to work it out now.
-
Loads i know have been heading over to york from leeds to enjoy the tier 2 drinks lol
Ive never been one for pubs and restaurants, apart from special occasions they dont interest me anyway.
-
Listening to the numptys on FB you’d think Christmas is pointless if the pubs are closed. Idiots everywhere.
-
Not stopping this year.
did you start dave ??????

But you don't want to be thinking about your van and undesirable customers during your time off over Christmas, do you?
Have a good one anyway.

Its just boring and tedious daz, whats to enjoy lol it hurts your neck and shoulders, its dark, wet, miserable at the minute etc.
10 jobs to do tomorrow and thats me done for one year, ive had enough ;D
In fact ive just messaged 4 of them asking if they would prefer to leave it till new year, one of them said yes! get in! Only reason ive asked them though is because it fits in better with my round if they wait, bit of a scraps day tomorrow mopping up the bits that are scattered about.
-
im not suffering with neck or shoulder pain
bluetooth headphones help the day along
im still getting xmas tips
;D
-
All finished - everything locked up - off for a good end of year drink
Have a good Christmas all

Well thats me all done.
Bit of a premature ending as last job i went to do i had a falling out with the owner and flounced.
Farm house that ive cleaned twice, first time she knocked me down on price after i had cleaned it, second time slow payment then third time she didnt want it doing last week when i was in the area as she wanted it doing before christmas. To be honest its not normally something i would entertain but as i still need more work for the new lad ive kept a few of these messers on longer than i should have...
I reluctantly agreed and i was in two minds of doing it today so left it till last job...pulled into the farm next to the house and i parked half on the drive and half on the verge which is just a mucky field. I parked there because anywhere else i was blocking the drive for the farm vehicles that were coming in and out.
Husband came out shouting about me parking on the muck, i apologised and explained why i parked there, he carried on and said i will be charging you for the ruts you have caused, i apologised again and he stormed off into the house.
So i go back in the truck and buggered off, thats the end of that job and a nice way to finish for christmas ;D
-
Merry Christmas all and and happy new year.
See you in the next year. . Michael
-
Does that mean you have binned them Stoots 🤣.
Hope you go back and fill in those ruts you have made 🤦♂️
-
Lovely way to round of this crazy year Stootsy, always good to finish on a positive note😁👍
