    I'm glad I dont work nights! I was taking 24th as A/L but changed it as I'm travelling and work will break my journey- and hopefully we'll get off early!

    Would hate to have to take mandatory holidays at this time of year. I want to be off in summer at a time of my choosing where possible good weather long evenings and stuff to do. I’m off the 25th and 26th and it’s more than enough thanks.

    Worked Christmas day/Stephen's day last year, so have both off this year, on nights for New Years Eve.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    I'm thinking from the 24th (inclusive) till Wednesday the 2nd - or possibly just take the Thursday and Friday as well.

    I will keep the work phone around during the days most people are back though just in case anything happens.

    Upside of this is complete flexibility in my day to day working location. If I need/want to work from home I can without needing approval or taking annual leave to cover stuff like deliveries or repairs etc.

    I don't abuse it though, put in 10 hour days and I'm always around when needed. For me it's a fair trade.

    11 days but will end up working one day somewhere inbetween Christmas Day and New Years. So not too bad although normally I wouldn’t have to work at all between Christmas and New Years.

    Likewise. And will have to do another month after the break before another week off.

    Hardship.

    Edit: For clarity, I only do a three day week. Just in case anybody was feeling sorry for me! :pac:

    Played it smart in work with holidays and volunteered to work Christmas Day, so that got me any days off i asked for, plus the normal sat/sundays off which gives me about 12 days off :pac:
