Jobs due Christmas week

Finish Fri 23rd. back on wed 4th Jan (2nd and 3rd will be bank hols for most people)
Will go back on 2nd if I'm desperate mind.

However I might do some one off jobs in between if they come up

Jobs will get pushed forward a week. couldn't care less if they like it or not, It's Christmas and only the second week I've had off this year
You sound like me :thumbsup:

Customers can like it or lump it. I'm in this job to pick and choose my hours.

The last time I took a week off was last December. I had a couple of weeks off when my dad had his brain haemorrhage back in June but that wasn't time off, even if I was in Spain. I've told a few mates that I'm taking three weeks off over Xmas and they've all acted shocked. I feel that I've earned it and that's one of the best things about this job.

I had a week in August august and I've had the odd day but no where near what I would have had in employment.

Yes I get that response a lot from family.you know the ones who get up everyday and are slaves to minimum wage moaning about their jobs etc ( I was one of them ) if I'm ever at home early, i.e. 3pm, I will get the "its alright for some " line. well no its not alright for some, I've got of my **** and decided to make it possible through hard work. yes I'll have as much time off at Christmas as I can afford as I've worked hard for it and deserve a break.

What customers might think is not a consideration. some self employed people think they don't have a boss, well they do they have customers.me I prefer to be the boss and I would put that first over anything as without that I'd rather be employed.

 
Was actually going to work days between Xmas and new year until read this post.

Now I'm with you guys,23rd and back 3rd or 4th. No rushing to do more work either,the weeks that will be late are all lettered to that effect within the clean tickets
