Done this plenty of times in the past.

Alternatively I've extended the contract end date by two / three weeks to take time off while and rollover as normal.

So in your case extend to the end of January take December off, this way you can maintain your 'employed status'.

Depends on whether you want to work in December and January or not. If you did, then it doesn't sound like a good thing. If you want to have eight weeks unpaid when it's cold and miserable, then it sounds like a really good thing to happen.

I would treat it as a new contract because the old one has expired and there was no continuance to the new one. However, it's unlikely to make any practical difference.

It is only December I will not be working for, resuming again in January. Ideal situation for me.

Or one contract with multiple schedules of work, depending how you set it up.

Not confirmed yet, but how good would that be ?

PS - would that require a brand new contract or merely an extension ? I may post this more formally in busines/contracts once clientco have confirmed this is happening.
