Ahh see if I wasn't leaving those are the hours i'd have to work (minus your booked holiday).

Some of you guys are well lucky! Bet they make you take some of it as your annual leave tho, surely?

You're never at work anyway so surprised you realised you'd finished for Xmas!

Finished yesterday, not back in until the 3rd January......that's because I used up remaining holidays, though, I'd normally be in until Friday this week, back in Wednesday to Friday next week, and then back in on the 3rd.
