Money wise january is a good month for me and tax Xmas to be paid for at the end of it,if you were going to have a month off I would always choose March as it's the only month in recent years if been snowed off

Weather wise, I've known January to be ok and February to be rubbish.
So it could two months off work  :o.
I can imagine the posts from Daz, now  ;D.

Yep will work all the way up to January,then myself and my customers are getting a well deserved
break.I have the advantage of my house is paid up and my sons are adults now 23 an18yrs.

I shall be enjoying a three day mini cruise to Dublin from liverpool in January with my two sons
my youngest has a thing about ships and its his birthday treat...we land back at Southampton and
my two lads are off partying with my eldest sons old Uni mates and I shall be enjoying some fishing
on the Hampshire Avon and the Dorset stour.

After all that hard work I shall take to the comfort of my sofa ;D

each to their own.sounds very boring to me gary!if thats what id be doing when im off id rather be working! ;D ;D ;D
price higher/work harder!

Am guessing Thailand is as cheap as india, so a month out there could be done on about a small budget, would love to have a month in Goa, was about 40p a bottle of kingfisher. Would go down the beach in the morning and run a tab up for the day, settle it up about midnight, never once did it get to £30. That's 4 of us eating and drinking all day on the beach and that's paying top dollar  ;D

U got me dreaming now

A month ............ Ya wouldn't want to come back

week on the riverbank recovering in a beautiful part of the country escaping the noise of life..enjoying
the peace and tranquilty........Then to really bore you, at the end of  Jan I will be staying in Dolgellau and

Does it matter what persons do . Some want JANUARY off to relax and chill out . Others want to carry on working .
Just respect what persons do , simples .
There's mo right or wrong .

The best decision in my view is meet in the middle and just do the essential jobs , especially in January

The daily express said its going to be the coldest winter in 50 years and we all know they are never wrong!
