Just being nosy. I finish on Xmas Eve and don’t go back until 3rd Jan. Unfortunately we have to use our holidays and I always find it a boring time of the year except the turkey and booze of course. :smiley:

Nope. Finish on the 23rd Dec and don’t go back till 3rd Jan.:smiley::D:D Only downside is that the 3rd is a Friday. Seems pointless going back for one day.:cry:

I’m working a half day Christmas eve, then off until the second unless one of our customers needs a delivery. It’s been asked of myself and another driver as we are the only ones with a class 2 licence.

I always find I’m ■■■■■■ off after 3 days so it’ll be nice to get a few hours in and have the extra money, even though I’d be getting a weeks wage anyway :slight_smile:
