I know not everyone has these working patterns, but to those of us who do, we made it 🥳🥳 one last week to go and then it's that weird in between time until the new year 🎄🎅🏻

Technically I do have a day next week for the Christmas do, but nobody works so I don't count it 😂 four days to go 🥳

I finish on Thursday this week Grin

I'm very jealous, I have Christmas eve and Christmas day off. Enjoy

Please be considerate to those who will be working next week, whether by choice or not. Especially retail staff.

I'm very considerate, my brother works in hospitality. But that doesn't mean I'm not allowed to be happy about being done with work

Very jealous!! I do have a day off in the week so I suppose it's not as bad as it could be 😂

@TheGrinchIsComingToTown it's the best feeling isn't it?

I did years of retail where I only ever had Christmas Day off - as soon as I went self-employed I made a promise that I'd never, ever do it again 😂

Walking into the office this morning knowing we've all checked out is lovely. Feels like a really relaxed, excited atmosphere which is nice as we're usually so busy!!

Really looking forward to some time off too after a rough year for our family

3 get ups and 3 corporate events to get through!

boulevardofbrokendreamss · 16/12/2024 09:22

I dont finish until christmas eve, but then I'm off until 6th. Ridiculously busy this week though, hence procrastinating on mumsnet!

Not only is this my last week, it's also my last week in a job that I genuinely can't stand. I am totally checked out! Really looking forward to a bit of downtime and a new year, new job!

I'm also in this position but still have next Monday and Tuesday to go as stupid me didn't take those two days off when I had the chance as thought I'd still be here and preferred the 1st two days of Jan. Needless to say I'm taking it easy this week and next!

JabbaTheBeachHut · 16/12/2024 10:44

Day off today and breaking up on Thursday, can't wait!

Also have a stupidly long holiday this year, as we're not back until 7th January!

hairyunicorn · 16/12/2024 10:49

My last day is today 😆i've been in since 8am and the day is dragging so slowly

BloodyHellBob · 16/12/2024 11:23

@biscuitsandbooks it really is a great feeling! First time in 5 long years I haven't been dreading going to work!

@Coco1oco I actually have a half day to do next week but it doesn't count as far as I'm concerned! Good luck in your new job!

Lobsterteapot · 16/12/2024 11:59

@TheGrinchIsComingToTown Ah thanks x
We’ve all got this - only a few more days of work bollocks and then we can crack open the cheese and lambrini!
