When are you breaking up for Xmas?
« on: December 10, 2011, 05:28:41 pm »
I've just worked my rota out for remainder of this month. I've already had 3 days off due to either my sons birthday, a xmas party or the weather. So it looks like I will be working right through untill December 23rd. So I'm praying for no snow or extreme weather between now and then.

21st is my last day until 4th jan apart from 1 day between Xmas and new year to do my nursing homes.

I'll have worked 24 days straight by then including weekends so it'll be a well earned break. :)

working right up to 23rd.back at it 3rd jan.full 10 days off.whatever work doesnt get cleaned by the 23rd will have to wait until the new year!

im noticing cheques either being delayed in the post due to xmas cards or custies sending them late!not good!ill be chasing these up before xmas to get maximum money in.

im working every day until the 23rd (weather permitting)except sunday.last week was the worst week weather wise we ve had for a while!! :(.

it will have to be really bad to stop me working in the run up to xmas!! ;D ;D ;D

windows will be dirtier due to all the strong wind as well!dont scrimp on the rinsing lads!! ;) ;D ;D
price higher/work harder!

I work all day and if they say anything, I say it's because I'm behind, because of the rain dear.

At my school we break up on Friday 16th December. We've got "Double Maths" in the morning (chiz) but it's turkey followed by plum duff for luncheon followed by a pillow fight in the dorm. Then off to Matron for a cuddle as I will feel sick. (Tee Hee)

Then I catch the 2.15 slow stopper from Much Writhing to Haslemere and Mater and Pater drive down in the Bentley and collect me and Raj Infule (The Nabob of Mackmanistan's eldest son) for Xmas hols!!!

Yippee! Matchbox Cars and oranges galore! (Though I'm on a promise for a Brighton Belle" Hornby Dublo train set! - It's got one of these new-fangled Merchant Navy "Spam-Can" locomotives and three Pullman coaches!)

And if I'm lucky I might get to see the new BAC Canberra jet bomber fly past! We new Elizabethan's are so lucky now rationings finished!!!!!

Able Baker Over and Out, Roger Wilco! Zoooooooooooom!

Hmmmmm! Now where are my liqourice toffees - I hope Bunter didn't stick them half chewed under Old Chalky's desk or I'm in for six of the best when I get back. (chiz)
It's a game of three halves!
