school holidays one..

[WhateverTrevorx]

so how much time off does everyone’s self employed DP’s have over the 6 weeks? And all other holidays for that matter?

Very little planned time off.

No work, no pay for self employed DP.

That said he does often have most of January clear and if he knows he doesn't have any work lined up then he is on childcare duty (otherwise kids go to grandparents / after school club). I manage to cover most of the holidays. Although I'm PT so that makes it a bit easier.

As a non essential tradesman, he has to take the work when he gets it so for example he recently missed 5 days of our long planned family holiday, he made it for the final 5 days.

It's absolutely shit being self employed.
