To tell you.. I’ve finished for CHRISTMAAAAS!!!!

[MrsGrindah]

So giddy . Had a long slog up to it, so now sat with a huge glass of wine, Christmas lights on and demolishing Lindt chocolate.

Start my Xmas shopping tomorrow , with no pressure . In Tier 3 but isn’t everybody , but still will make the most of it.
Anybody else with me?

I'm green with envy, but I hope you have a enjoyable Christmas break.

Enjoy your break OP.

I don't finish till Monday but I'm working from home and my job is easy so I kind of feel like I've finished already (sorry boss! 😅)

[quote MrsGrindah]@RavingAnnie Of course you can. I’m sorry it’s not going well for you and I really hope things get better quickly. I do know what if feels like to be overwhelmed.Hope you have a lovely Christmas when it comes.[/quote]
Thanks for the lovely reply 😊 Hopefully your kind thoughts will kick my brain into action 😀.

Have a lovely Christmas!

Nope. Another one whose working on Christmas eve.
Just hoping it isn't too busy.

@RavingAnnie Thankyou x

I clicked yabu because I’m jealous I hope you have a lovely Christmas though

I finish tomorrow...unbelievably excited!

Enjoy your break!

I work up to 5.30pm on Christmas Eve, then oncall for the 4 days over Christmas and back to normal hours come Tuesday 29th. I do get NYE and NYD off though which I'm very much looking forward to

Enjoy!! I finish tomorrow and am SOOO looking forward!!

Ugh, I'm in work until the 23rd. Have a large for me until I can join you next Wednesday!

I've got everything except the cream, sprouts and clementines. Only thing missing is my SIL; she always comes to us, but lives in Kent, so she's stuck there.

So envious of you- I finish Christmas morning and have a glorious 24 hours off before I am back in on Boxing Day. So make the most of it and enjoy every minute and have a lovely time and I shall live vicariously through you

@Mrbob Thank you and now I feel obliged to have another glass of wine just for you!

NB Does anyone else eat marzipan by the slice?

@nosswith

No, think of those such as in the NHS who are needed, or those who will be working such as in retail on Boxing Day because we don't have the sense to have proper holidays by law.

Oh stop it

Me too! Finished until 11 Jan, first leave all year. Can now crack on with eating mince pies my Christmas jobs

The spoilt eh, all I get is half Christmas Eve off, and start late on Boxing Day.
Yes I finally have three days off, after too many weekends..........the joy of retail and over demanding and often rude customers

No I'm not. Technically a key worker even though everyone hates us. I have Christmas Day off. I'm working all weekend. Such fun. I'm so so exhausted.

Glad that people get a fun Christmas though, 2020 has been shite so everyone deserves it. Ngl, being 25 has really not been fun. 'Best years of your life' my mum says. Yeah.

I too have officially finished today although we’ve been in isolation for a couple of days so my last day was technically Tuesday!
It’s been a bloody long hard slog of a term and I’m enjoying switching the alarm off for tomorrow (have been waiting for corona test results that could have come in any time so I still had the alarm set in case I could still go in. They finally came in this evening at around 6:30, negative thank god, so while I will pop in to work tomorrow it will be a quick tidy of my desk and sorting through some paperwork before I skip back out again!).

Im a stay at home mum and also parent carer so don't really have time off but i do it marzipan on its own love it! Enjoy 🥂🎅🏻🎁🎄

*do eat

Finishing up at lunchtime on Christmas Eve and I can't wait - it's been a heck of a year and I'm knackered!

Not back in the office (obviously, by 'back in the office' I mean 'the other room in my house') until 11 Jan and I am really looking forward to lots of sleeping, eating, drinking and big walks.

Enjoy your hols, OP. God bless us, every one.

MN will have my guts for garters but.... I'm on holiday till the NY and I managed to get a cheap flight to Tenerife. I'll confess now I took my two kids out of school!

Enjoy @Therunecaster we went a few years ago with the kids at this time of year ( actually just after Xmas for 3 Kings) and loved it.

Me too.

I should be downing cocktails with my best friend but I'm sat on my sofa in my pjs watching Sabrina with my cat.

I’ve finished work today too! Really pleased to have finished. I do feel for all those working over Christmas to keep everyone else safe, or those who are alone.

We aren’t having a few days isolation before Christmas because I’m a single parent so want to see some other family for Christmas.
