I'm away from 20th to 27th, the two lads are away 27th and we're back to usual working on 3rd.

The only stuff that gets done during this time is multiples per week, weekly and fortnightly work - all shops - which is still done on schedule.  The rest of our customers have been trained to wait the extra two weeks.

I worked Jan 1 several years ago.  I started by doing a few small, non-residential school buildings by which time I assumed that all the drunkards had woken up  ;D .  Then started on domestic until about 3.  No-one minded (or at least they didn't say anything).
This year I was hoping to take the whole week off but realistically, I think I will need to work one or two days that week.

Might just wait till 2nd January, am a mile behind like.
