I went to Spain for Xmas and New year all inclusive for £330! I've re-charged my batteries and avoided the circus that Xmas here brings especially clogged up roads and towns!
I'm back at work today!

I'm in Spain at the moment as well, fly back tomorrow.

We are on the Costa Del Tropical and it rarely goes below 8 degrees at night and up to 20 in the day. It's 18 right now.

Tbh I'm not here on holiday, my misues is Spanish and her mum is very ill and has been in hospital for the past 4 months. I've been coming every month to help out and do some sea swimming.

I might as well have the month off. I'm not doing anything exciting though.
My missus is working for the next few days and my little lad is still off school. I might get a couple of half days in this week and do a bit next week but after that I'm doing a course to do with my son. It's only a couple of days a week over two weeks but throw in some bad weather and January will be pretty much a write off.

I deliberately shoved my work on on CP so I wouldn't have much work this week. Trouble is I'm still flat out with extra's.
Just realised I only had one whole week off in all of last year!!!! (Christmas).

I don't take holidays because I'm a workaholic.

When I reached 50 (5 years ago this year) I was one year into building my new run in Ireland.

I'm now flat out, so not much chance of a holiday even if I wanted one (which I don't).

ok so you might not like a holiday in my sense of the word(4 and 5 star hotels  in far flung places)but everyone needs a break.surely you take SOME time off apart from xmas every year?

I had a few odd days when it hammered down last year but that was it. Don't often work Sundays but normally do a half day on Saturdays. I don't have a desire for five star far flung holidays to be honest.

Been there, done that bored with it now. Hot women in bikinis tend to be my daughters age. I prefer a bit of culture after all the sex. Tourists generally embarrass me particularly the English.

I was self taught, mainly by studying all the pictures you use to put up. That's probably why I suck :'(
