    +1, with perhaps a day or so of stuff to tie up at home.

    I plan to see no one except family, and do as little as humanely possible

    Clientco want me in on 22nd and 29th. I was planning to work until 23rd anyway.

    So one day minimum for me. To be fair to them they've said come in or not the other days up to me which is pretty decent.
    Would have been nice to have two weeks off but cant complain. Get me off my backside and earning at least.

    Both are probably equally accurate. One is just less detailed to allow events to unfold without having to redo it every 5 minutes..

    WHS, but not working on Plan B, enjoying time with the kids as it ties up nicely with their school holiday, might try and squeeze a flight over to Spain to see the parents and surprise them

    My contract was due to finish at the end of the year, and I was planning on taking a week or two off in Jan while looking for something else, but it's now been extended to the end of March so I'm going to treat myself to a fortnight off over Xmas/New Year.

    Won't be going anywhere exciting though, unless you count bathroom showrooms exciting. Been promising myself some home improvements for a while now.

    Do you tend take days off during Christmas at all? I feel stingy due to loss of daily rate exacerbated by exorbitant airfares and hotel prices, which like trebles the damage.

    Thoughts?
    Finish on the 18th, back 28,29,30, off 1,2,3,4,5.

    If I wasn't working from home, I'd have the three days off in the middle as well like I normally do.
