    Extension – very long term!

    It is rather crazy. Due to finish 15th Dec, so literally yesterday booked much needed time in the French apartment from 16th Dec coming back on the weekend.

    Just had a call today – I am now offered to Dec 23rd.

    I really need a break as likely to continue to maybe Easter time, so still going to have my break and come back for the three pesky days before the Christmas break. I looked at pushing my flight back a day or two, with the cost of the flights in the new dates it is hardly worth it.

    You could not make up the lack of planning and communications around contract dates in this game.

      Congratulations?

      Have you told them what you have booked? What was their response? I bet to get you to carry on they can work with a few days of you away?

            Having the PC switched on at home, with mouse twitching software enabled, an option?

              Just say "sorry I've made Christmas plans around finishing that day". For the sake of a week, WGAS? Offer to do it in January.
