    Christmas Break - What's your plan?

    Happy Christmas one and all.

    Well it's my last day in the office for two weeks due to a mixture of compliance leave and enforced contractor lay-offs over the Christmas season. I had the option to negotiate an exemption but I'm shattered and really need the time off. Not even had a chance to do a Christmas CUK avatar, for which I'm truly sorry,

    Hopefully today will be a nice quite day of housekeeping tasks making sure nothing falls over whilst I'm off, plus taking my mum to lunch as it's her birthday.

    Not doing much over the two weeks, having a family Christmas just sleeping in late and walking down to the pub. Will probably not be posting on CUK until the New Year as number one on my "to do list" is "Computers - Avoid".

    So what's everyone else doing over Christmas?
    ...my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...

              Work up to the 23rd back in 28th, 29th & 30th, not bothered as I have a pile of DVD's that I never seem to find the time to watch.

              Being paid to watch films and munch mince pies is preferable to doing the same at home.

                Our landlord has given us notice he intends to evict us, so after agreeing a date with them - we've been looking for new premises for about a month now. And we'll keep looking over christmas I'm sure.

                    working upto the 23rd. Then working again on the 29/30th from home. No point having the ability to WFH if I can't do it over the festive period.
