Dropping to 4 days -not allowed mon or fri off - which slday would you choose??

[Sounsure777]

Hi
Im finally dropping to 4 days-im exhausted working full time with a 1.5 hour commute each way 3 x a week (i currently work 3l2 days from home which is a huge help but when i drop to 4 days I can only do 1 day working frm home so im still in office 3 days a week :-/ )
Anyway, which day would u choose off? Im thinking weds? Or maybe thurs? Im not allowed mon or fri x

I would have Wednesday off. I'm currently on Maternity leave and hope to drop to a four day week on my return. I'm toying with Wed or Fri as my day off.
Where I live Wednesday is a half day for local businesses so would be restricting if I needed to get stuff done as bank/shops/post office all close at lunch time. Might be worth having a think about what you to do (if anything) on your day off

Tueday so then you benefit from extra long weekends when it is a bank holiday Monday.

Wednesday used to work for me. You’re only working two days then get a break. Also quieter midweek for visiting supermarkets, banks, post office, hairdresser, dentist etc.

I’ve been 5 days for years now and I miss my days off. I used to have Monday and Friday off - the dream! Why did I give that up?!!!!

Wednesday! That's what I'll be doing too when I return from maternity leave. That way you never do more than 2 days in a row

Tuesday sounds good for the bank holidays though

I'd pick Tuesday so it runs nicely with bank holiday Mondays but I'm Irish and I think we have a few bhs more than the UK. Although they're not all on Mondays eg Jan 1st, march 17th, dec 26th

Wednesday it's half way through the week

I'd say have Tuesday as your working from home day and Wednesday off, gives you a nice break in the middle of the week and save's the Monday commute being such a thought when you know you won't have to do it for the next 2 days.

Who provides your childcare? Better check with them before making up your mind or they may not be able to accommodate you.

I’d take the Wednesday off and work Friday from home.

I work 3 days a week and for random childcare reasons have to work Mondays and Fridays. It's annoying but not as bad as I thought. I have Wednesday's and Thursdays off and it's a lovely break from work! I wld pick Wednesday in yr position x

Wednesday

I have Wed off. I love it. I can do half a weeks washing, shopping etc without having a weeks worth. It breaks the week up beautifully too
