Try a magnet on the meter, it might keep the costs down :lol:

I am so gutted, all I have ever wanted to do at Xmas was be away somewhere in the alps with snow on Xmas day. Its written in my work contract......no holiday from 1st to 31st December. Found out to-day, off xmas day and boxing day, my day off for this week will be Saturday, off Sunday, day off for next week will be Monday, Tuesday will be the day they owe me for working my last day off and Wednesday will be the Xmas shopping day that they could not give me before Xmas cos too many staff were off sick...........I could have gone away :cry: :cry:

I know Dave, at the moment I have been offered another job, I have until New Year to decide. Plus I could take my hols when I wanted.

I have sort of the same problem, there is 9 peolpe in our team and only 2 people allowed off at the same time. Im supposed to work boxing day & 27th however its my turn to pick the days I want off over Chrimbo so I picked 26th & 27th. No one wanted the 2 nights off so Ive booked them off also! :D We could of all gone for a late booking over Chrimbo :cry:

I work for myself so am lucky that I can go whenever. Unfortunately, OH has a real job as a nurse and we have to work round her shifts. BOO!
Still, not long now. 17 days to go.
