Off from 21/12, probably do a few half days in between chrissy and new year, but back full-time day after new years.


I generally plan to go in but once I sit down with my jig-saw puzzle  ;D  ;D that my missus always gets me theres no moving me then.

If Im lucky I might get a big ol' Airfix kit  ;D  ;D My missus is good to me, she knows what I want and I love that time of year, we both just chill out, take it easy, relax, and stuff our faces.

Actually, now I mentioned it, I might take a fortnight off.

If you stop work for a prolonged period do you start to fret?

Not sure yet what time as had planned on big job starting the week before then taking us into jan, but, theyre not having it done yet now.

Marc, wish i was going sking, injured leg last time (feb) in canada & still not fit to go sking.

Hoping mainly to work at least 2 days in the middle & have the rest off.
