When's everybody breaking up for christmas?

[Dan]

Not sure if we've done this one yet but I'm trying to work out properly when I'm breaking up and when I'm starting up again. I say that, I mean, when I don't enter the office as much, and then when I do again. lol

I'm thinking of breaking up as some point between sort of 19th and 21st. (Thought about breaking up on 14th but I'd just end up doing a couple of days anyway so may as well leave it a bit longer.)

Then starting again officially on the 7th Jan but perhaps do a couple of days before that but just half hearted and not full on work.

What about you lot?

I finish Friday 21st, and not going back to work until 2nd January. That's 11 days straight of no work, no grief, no mither.

Today is not going to plan. I was expecting a supplier to pop in with Christmas goodies, only to get a phone call from their office to say they're stuck in traffic so are cancelling the meeting. No Christmas goodies? No longer on my suppliers list! Bah humbug.

I think there are big issues on the A50 Liz if they're coming from Derby way. Two trucks playing chicken and neither won.

As for the time off; that sounds pretty reasonable. I think I might get bored trying to have off until the 7th. Might just do the 2nd or something myself.

I plan on being that drunk on new years eve that I end up in the gutter with a bunch of mates all spread out around me. Might not be able to face even the 2nd after that one.

They were only in Hanley Dan. I checked the traffic alerts. Only issues are in Fenton, the A50 and over towards Hilderstone. I have a hunch that they couldn't be bothered and decided to head back to their office, which is only in NUL.

I've just come back from lunch to find said suppliers Christmas goody bag in reception for me. So much for cancelling the meeting and re-arranging. Maybe traffic wasn't as bad as they thought. But still, bah humbug, they've sent me a pocket diary wrapped in Christmas paper, a few pens, coasters, desk calendar and their latest terms of business. Tis the season to be humbug.

Finishing on Friday 21st but, have to help a mate do some displays in his showroom over the Christmas period, it's for my benefit though so can't complain too much!

 

[Dan]

[Ian]

[MENTION=1]Dan[/MENTION] think I'll go for the 7th, unless something urgent comes in.

not sure when I'll be breaking up, got a massive plastering job to start tomorrow and still got a shower room to tile out that builders have held me up with. Certainly won't be breaking up before 21st Dec though.

Didn't you have a set taken off last year?

 

[Gazzer]

Just took a booking for the 20th to fill in a delayed start on another job. So I reckon the 21st should finish . Jobs booked in for January so as soon as they want me in ! I am planning some away time to visit friends depending on the weather.

Get some off-road ones that are suitable for on-road too. Your only limit then is the road speed. At 90MPH (or even 80MPH) with some they heat up too much.

Looks a bit like nobbly's from off a crosser but do have some lines in them that go right around them still which makes them suitable for on-road in the wet.

You'd never get stuck in those in snow. And they'd do you for the summer too.

[MENTION=1]Dan[/MENTION] , i was thinking of the Vredestein all weather ones to run all year round..

 

[kilty55]

planning to be off from the 23rd till the 7th jan

 

[Dan]

I'm trying to convince myself I should have off until the 7th but I think I'd be bored that week and dying to get back on it. So I think ill break up a few days earlier and then go back a bit earlier.
