So who's finished work for Christmas?

[Bat21]

Finished work today at 5pm and not back until 7th Jan... over two weeks freedom from the daily grind... yesssssss.

Off doing the aunty and uncle Christmas card run tomorrow evening.

Mum and Dad are coming round for Christmas dinner on Sunday.

Monday prepare this place for the late night move which will probably take until 5am Tuesday.

Tuesday or Wednesday I might get the bike out for a blast to clear the cob webs.

Thursday we are off to Lucy's Mum and Dad in Worcestershire for Christmas dinner and will be back home Boxing day.

After that..... no plans and will just chill.

So when do you all break up and what are you up to?

Smallbone....?HOW MUCH?... 8O
Did some of their stuff a few years back, what a rip off :?
Mind you I was inspired by how much they could charge for it all 8)
When Mr or Mrs X does the over my shoulder thing, I just do a bit of routing or sawing without the hoover on :wink:
that usually gets rid, if not just ask them if the kettle's still working cause I put the water back on ages ago :lol:

[CaptLimey]

I envy you guys - really!!

Us retired folk don't get a day off!

There's no long week-end relief to look forward to - no 'sickies' to take - just the never ending maintenance on the house, car, bike, caravan.

BUT thankfully, we can just chill out if we need to!

Life is good. Let's be grateful, whether your working, looking for it, or just surviving after a lifetime of it. Let's all be thankful that we're able to enjoy another festive season.

Merry Christmas to one and all, CL

P.S. Loved the cards!!

[zippy656]

well put it this way, some kitchens i payed LESS for my house ( 3 bed semi.. i can get 10% but at that price it dont realy matter..

rip off.. no way!! we are the BEST EVER...

how long ago did you fit it.. might have seen my name on some of it, or not as the case my be, depends when it was

ive dont teh router trick a few times too. one woman would sweep teh floor as i did it till i had to tell her to stop.
