So who's finished work for Christmas?

Bat21 · 19-12-2008, 23:14

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?

Absolutely nothing planned as Bat21 has taken over and doing a grand job too.
