    How Much Time Off At Xmas ?

    All contractors have an enforced 'contractor break' at our place over the Xmas / NY period, resulting in me this year having 3 whole weeks off over the hols and then returning on a 3 month extension in Jan.

    Result !!

    What about anyone else ?

    (I would do a survey with the usual Andy someone not really funny or remotely related category, but will let the big boys do this )

      Yeah, me too. ******* pain in the arse this year is. It just doesn't make any sense, or monetary worth, to go to work over that period
      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

        Two weeks and one day. Enforced by the client but I was going to take the time anyway.

        All work and no play etc etc.

          two and a bit weeks? I leave Mad Friday (travelling down the M1 that's going to be fun) and I'm back Jan 2nd. Any longer and various people (both family and clientco) will probably want to kill me...
