Finish Friday lunchtime, back in 28th/29th then off until 3rd Jan. Then have 8th/9th Jan off as I'm going to Barnstaple for long weekend to deliver more Christmas pressies to youngest son, ex missus and ma-in-law who moved down there a couple of weeks ago, also son's 19th birthday on 7th.

Trouble is this is busiest time of year for me. As finance/admin manager, I've got to squeeze in end of year stock taking and produce end of year accounts as well as continue with day to day stuff - DOH!!! :(

I won't finish up until tomorrow, although a few of the guys have a pub lunch planned so I don't see the afternoon being particularly productive :D

Don't go back until the 8th January, and I expect I'll be needing that week after new year to recover my senses.... it's gonna be a good'un :D :D

Got two big party nights planned for Friday & Saturday this weekend, then of course Sunday is Christmas eve which is an obligatory party, as is Christmas night! My liver is going to hate me for the next few weeks ;)

Ive just had a pleasant suprise.

I have just been into the office of the company I have been doing work for over the last couple of weeks to drop the last of the paper work off and they have asked me to do some more after Christmas. They have a load of work for me in the Western Isles :o. Still beggars can't be choosers ;D

Never mind no pubs - more like no booze and no shops at all on Isle of Lewis - and i do mean that! One shop recently tried to open on Sunday and was forced to close within 3 weeks.

they go to church 4 times on a Sunday and the real traditionalists even make Sundays tea on Saturday as its "illegal" to cook.

Its an experience (my parents retired up there but regularly flaunt the law by having parties on Sundays)  :o
