Out from the 18th to the 2nd :+1:

#34

I’m assuming that it’s a gifted day’s leave (i.e. the office is shut but it doesn’t come out of your leave allowance).

#35

Last day at work is the 16th, then I’m off til the 3rd. Going to a conference after that!

#36

Milton Keynes Travelodge?

#37

yeah, this is what it is for us. An extra day if Christmas day falls on a weekend i think?

20th Dec - 3rd Jan. Can’t come soon enough and actually have a few more days than that to use but am too busy really to take them. Other than days when I absolutely have to go in I’m going to start working from home every day from next Wednesday I think though.

Well, there are always three days between Christmas and New Year that aren’t on a weekend or a bank holiday.

Many places shut down for those three days, some without making you take them out of your leave requirement.

(eg we get 20+3 days of leave, with those additional three having to be taken during the christmas week)

#47

From 20th December to 7th January. Needed.

We have to take the 3 days between Christmas and New Year as leave even though the office is closed (so we couldn’t come in and save the leave even if we wanted to). Its angers me.

Finish at midday on Thursday 21st and back on the 3rd. Don’t think I’ve ever gone to work on January 2nd, fuck that.

#53

Off 21st to the 2nd - will be away from my house from the 18th to the 3rd. Pray for laelfy’s houseplants.

#54

:grimacing: fack I haven’t thought about this, we’ve just bought a swiss cheese plant. You got anyone that can come round and water them?

#55

If it was over the summer I’d be more worried, but I reckon a big glug of water just before I go will just about see them through.

Liverpool! I haven’t booked the hotel yet but I am hoping it is better than a Travelodge.

Last year we all got the 23rd off for free, announced by email a few days earlier. I am hoping for the same again. If that happens I’ll use it to take off the 2nd. But I won’t tell Clive until the morning of the second when I tell him," Er, no, I am staying in bed for longer. Ha ha!"
