Am still on sick leave but otherwise worked straight through - although sometimes we arrranged half-day duty cycles if things wern't too busy. The proviso being that we remained on call and sober.
Mind you night duty over the period was a right pain in the arse.

I'll finish sometime on the 24th and be back the following Tuesday then same again for Hogmanay but the bit between Xmas and New Year is usually pretty dead so I'll play it by ear/legality of driving :y

Although its a Friday, I'm going in to the office. Every time I work from home on Christmas Eve, I end up working until 8 or 9pm :(

Aye mate, it's not the best of news with VAT going up, no pay increase in last 3 years, and already down a day a week from last crimbo. Still, as I said, it could have been a whole lot worse.
Hopefully it'll only be until the motorcycling season starts again.

It's the same every week though really, get in at about 5ish, wake up roughly 9 the same morning. I agree though on Christmas day it'll be a right pain in the arse :(

Self employed. Suppliers based in China. Many Asian customers both here, and on the continent.
To answer your question, I may not be working 16 hours Christmas Day, but I'll certainly be spending a couple of hours on the phone and checking emails.
If someone would be so kind as to remind me what one of these 'day off' things are like, then it would be appriciated.

I would be working up to the morning of 21st, then back in on Days 25th, 26th (both closed so not in), nights 27th, 28th.
But... Been off sick with my bloody back since the start of the month and looks like I'll be off for another 2 or 3 weeks still :'( :'( I've "Slipped a Disc" and also trapped the sciatic nerve so really not in good shape at the moment :'( :'(
And I'm bored! I can't get on with anything and it's really getting on my nerves! >:( >:(
