Nurse here also! I'm off Boxing Day and plan to spend it in my PJs drinking gin.

halfwitpicker · 18/12/2018 12:28

Last day today.

Back on January 7th. It's 'costing' me 9 days vacation 😱 Worth it though as we fly back to the UK for Christmas 😊

Claracracksthenut · 18/12/2018 12:31

I finish a night shift 8am 24th then back in 25th by 19.30 ( that’s December btw) So I guess that means not a lot of time off. Xmas Hmm . Il

TheEmmaDilemma · 18/12/2018 12:44

I'll be online on the 24th for anything urgent, then out until the 3rd.

ShiningSally · 18/12/2018 12:51

I'm working 24th and 26th but at least got Christmas day off Xmas Smile

GooodMythicalMorning · 18/12/2018 12:54

Of 24th, 25th and 26th but thats it. Working new years eve too

Crimebustersofthesea · 18/12/2018 12:56

I finish on Wednesday until the 8th, I can't wait! I am working NYE because we had no other cover but it will be a short day WFH. I'm v lucky, can't remember the last time I had so much time off.

PushHop · 18/12/2018 13:09

I'm off from Thursday afternoon through til the 7th Jan. Lots of annual leave left to take following adoption leave (had to return to work sooner than expected so didn't take it in a bit chunk at the end), so I'm happy Grin

PorpentinaScamander · 18/12/2018 13:14

I don't get any time off for Christmas
I'm jealous of those that do 😂

Namechange8471 · 18/12/2018 13:15

Clearly is a a stealth boast.

One day off, boxing day...

NoWordForFluffy · 18/12/2018 13:15

I finish on Thursday at 4.15 (I'm on annualised hours so had 45 minutes to take!) then return at 8.00am on 2nd. We close for Christmas and I booked NYE off so I I could have a longer break.

IamPickleRick · 18/12/2018 13:17

I used to get 19 days in the job I loved before I had kids Sad it was a college and they didn’t factor holiday closures in to your AL.

BumDisease · 18/12/2018 13:19

Christmas Day.

DonnaDarko · 18/12/2018 13:19

I don't have time off but I am working from home as DSs nursery decided they're closing over Xmas this year, and I didn't have enough holiday to cover it

YoureAMeanOneMrGrinch · 18/12/2018 13:20

I finish on the 21st (only because I booked Christmas Eve off) and am back in on the 27th.

Anotherdayanotherdollar · 18/12/2018 13:21

I'm a nurse and I'm very lucky to be off work 24th and 25th this year. Back to normal on 26th!

chickydoo · 18/12/2018 13:22

I have Christmas Day and Boxing day
Hosting 16, so not a break really.

WWYDhelpplease · 18/12/2018 17:21

Arf at stealth boast 😂😂😂

Two weeks from Friday lunchtime.

cushioncovers · 18/12/2018 17:25

Work in the nhs and actually have five days off this year. Shock 25th -30th can't wait.

Toomanybaubles · 18/12/2018 17:28

I am off from 20th until 8th January. I can't wait, I have got more than a year's worth of annual leave to take before 31st March because I carried a lot forward from last year and have worked so many hours this year that most of my time off has been lieu accrued not annual leave.

I need a break.

dalmatianmad · 18/12/2018 17:29

I'm working Christmas day and boxing day.

Also New year's eve night.

I cannot imagine "breaking up" for Christmas! Xmas Hmm
