Four consecutive days at home with the good looking half ..... over Christmas ?
Don't think i would survive that one :wink:
Ha - wimp, I'm off all that week :sad: It happened once before - I gave it away to a lad with four children..............unfortunately the wife has seen my holiday printout because like a berk I put it on my office wall..............what makes it worse for me is that I don't drink but I do pretend deafness.

I've stopped bothering about tax, I had an accountant take a look at mine and he said it was correct - you'd probably cringe if you knew what I was paying in tax per month I know I do :cuppa

Bearing in mind that christmas this years falls on the Tuesday that weekend will be heavy and may require a packet operation on sunday.

Christmas maybe two months away but unless you been involved in christmas negotations you wont understand the fact that it takes some considerable time to achieve an agreement at local or area level.
And does all that guff preclude a notice to members to the effect "the following agreement has been suggested for christmas arrangements and the PEC is minded to agree unless there are some compelling reasons not to" - you know the sort of thing dingo - a sort of semblance that the membership is included.
Negotiating, dingo, is not witchcraft and I have negotiated in the past but that's not really relevant - particularly as I was negotiating from the opposite side of the fence.

Christmas on a Tuesday - bet that's never happened before.

Whilst you are in a communicative mood dingo is there any news on the 75/25 FT/PT split because it seems to be taking a considerable amount of time for RM to be forthcoming.

Christmas on a Tuesday - bet that's never happened before.

It has actually. Way back in the late 80s early 90s I can remember us doing 2 consecutive years with a single Sunday delivery to try and make up for the lost days. On our return, we had a few 5 day duties back then, I did my own walk plus 4 hrs ot for another blokes walk. 5 bundles in total. those were the days. :cuppa

Not this year.
£200 from 2013.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
