When do you break up for Christmas

[jackie j]

I have to go to work tonight all night I finish at 7am saturday morning then thats it till 2nd January. Even tho I work in Tesco's I only work one night a week so boxing day being Friday I dont have to go in. When do you all finish and how long have you got off. My OH finishes on christmas eve and goes back on my birthday 5th January. If I get the other job I dont know when I start I expect it will be asap.

Well the way our business isn't going I'm already dossing and looks like I'll be lengthening my Xmas break right through most of next year as well

[jackie j]

Not so good then hayley what line of business are you in. Hope it picks up.

[HayleyB]

Specialist Equestrian Estate Agency - not a hope

Specialist Equestrian Estate Agency - not a hope

erm, wot? elevator pitch please you never know who knows who

[jackie j]

Can you diverse or is that not an option.

[HayleyB]

Haha, I sell properties with land to those that want property with land more often than not horsey people.

It's not something that can be diversified unfortunately. My diversification plans at present are the chooks and selling veggies next year.

Unfortunately as a business owner we cannot claim benefits either and are desperately using mortgage money to keep afloat to ride it out and keep at least one of two employees going cause when we get through this he will be needed and anyway he can't afford to be made redundant either

The work I get paid for, (admin stuff for schools) should get finished in the next couple of days. All the other stuff for Christmas feels as if it will go on for EVER
Just a little rant but why do fellas think Christmas happens with the flamin Christmas fairy??!! Getting naf all help from sons or husband and contemplating going on strike for a couple of days to scare them Sorry rant over....phew

[Polly Fouracre]

Ha! Finish work! I have Christmas day and Christmas night off. Well, actually that is my choice as I do agency work but as no-one else seems to want to work over Christmas I'll think of the double time and do it!

[jackie j]

Hayley I would love property with land and daughter would love at least one horse. Unfortunatly we will have to wait for our lottery numbers to come up !!! Thats if I remember to do it. lol. Have a great christmas and may good fortune be yours in 2009.
