I am wondering what people will be doing from 2nd to 7th!! Surely u will get bored!!

A few years ago i would go out just after the bells on the 1st and if she was lucky i'd be back for the 4th. Times have changed now and that doesn't happen

 

[ManchesterGas]

Self employed and will work if the phone rings, nothing booked in for over the festive period. If I'm not out working, I'm sure I'll be working at home. I'm sure SWMBO will let me have Christmas day off :santa_smiley:

 

[leethegasman]

We also take two weeks off but will go out to leaks etc but not to work that can be done in the new year.

 

[Centralheatking]

I dont do Christmas Eve - after 16.00 - next day 05.00 but we have others that do

Other than that it rolls on as usual. Our obligations to the likes of Peverill mean on call
is a fact of life. CHK

 

[Barry98]

Finish 21st back the 6th

 

[Centralheatking]

NICE - wish it was like that here CHK

Finish 21st back the 6th

 

[Mike Jackson]

Finish 21st back the 6th

I get bored with that long off. Rather have it in the summer when I can get out in the nice weather.

 

[cr0ft]

last working day is the 20th for me and back on the 2nd. I will be getting in plenty of cycling to burn off the mince pies. Oh and 2 years worth of annual accounts to do on the days my wife is in work - joy!

Aren't HMRC on your case quicker than that?

 

[Dannypipe]

I'm not officially taking any time off. But will have all scheduled work done by the end of next week.

I'll take emergency call outs over Christmas if the money is ok.

Wife is due to have our third on the 1st so I'll take some time off when she arrives!

 

[shezzaar]

Finishing my proper work on the 13th, than start again on the 6th. Although I am going to be helping a mate, during that time

 

[PlumbBobBob]

probably finish on the 20th, although if a regular wants work doing i will turn out. back on the 6th unless needed before again only for a regular.

Sorry, what I meant is 2012/13's annual accounts to sort out and 13/14's to get up to date!

 

[Paulus]

apply to go in the arms if only to see the video it will be worth it

Thanks steveb.

I have done searches to try to find out how to join the arms. There is one to say to pm dave but I'm not sure who dave is. Can you advise me how to go about joining please?

Thanks in anticipation.

he's doing the next 2 years not last 🙂

 

[IDCHAPPY]

I'm finishing on friday 20th and off until the 6th Jan.
Always take 2 weeks off unless we get a right cold spell and a load of bursts but that doesn't happen too much like it used to. Houses are better het and insulated than they once were.

I'm hoping for this, it's noce to spend 2 full weeks off with the family 🙂

 

[Leo21]

Planned work all done by the 19th, will go out if I want to. Off to Edinburgh in Scottish Land for a few days, then go back when I'm bored or sick of mince pies and beer.
