Background - dh's company introduced a new policy earlier this year whereby everyone had to take at least one two-week block of holiday during the year. We had already booked our summer holiday which was 10 nights though with weekend & bank holiday dh only needed 6 days off. The rest of his holidays were needed for trips to see our families (who all live abroad) and days here & there. Dh's line manager agreed that dh did not adhere to the new policy this year.
However, the company has now said that anyone who didn't take a two-week block this year must now do so before the end of March 2010. As the holiday year starts in January and Easter isn't until April, this is F* all use to us as a family. We can't really afford to take a foreign holiday at Feb half-term and the thought of going away somewhere in the UK at that time of year isn't exactly appealing - plus the kids will only have one week off...
I am really peed off with this - if dh does have to take 2 weeks off before the end of March we will not be able to go to visit our families as often as usual next year - or I will have to do the trips on my own...
