Same here, as of 5pm Christmas Eve every other advert on the TV ( so I'm told :lol: ) will be a department / clothing / electrical/ furniture and travel agent store's announcing the boxing day sales start at 10pm boxing day and they have the best offers on in the whole universe, never to be repeated..... So.... Most blokes just carry on drinking from Chrimbo day , go to the match or races, entrusting the female half of the relationship to go ' bargain hunting ' with her sister or mum, then come's home to find the house full of discounted shite with 99% off labels including sofa's that a blind nigerian shack dweller wouldnt have in his hut, clothe's he wouldnt be seen dead in in daylight and a booking to holiday that would have the residents of Baghadad checking the fine details of thier life insurance polices. Bizzare what Christmas causes if you ask me... Ian :lol: :lol:
me, too ... Off 22nd, 23rd, 24th, 25th, then 29th, 30th, 31st and New Year's Day ... BUT all the doctors are away the week between Christmas and New Years, so I'll be adding a little kahlua to the coffee pot!
Are they taking these days ( Christmas Eve and NY's Eve ) off of your annual entitlement or giving them you off for nothing ? Ian :lol:
I know. I spent an unfortunate 17 years down there during my yoof. Papa thought it would be best flit down there to give my sister and I a better lifestyle. I didnt have the vocal ability to tell him ' darn sarf ' was full of pricks and he should blow the idea of movng to the smoke up his asre when I was seven years old. I've changed since then. If your off over Chrimbo are we going to meet up for a few pops then ? Ian :lol: :lol:
well I am off a lot.. Between now and Jan 2 - I will be working 4.5 days in total! And still being paid normally.. gotta love having lots of vacation time available to me. Ha ha ha ha! Katie
