I dont really remember many xmas days that i've actually been off in the last 14 years.....5 years army as a "singly" so copped stag & on call duties & was always too far away from the folks home and then all my jobs since have involved working the period.......more recently 2 years ago i came off night shift xmas day morning & had 3 & a half days off which wasnt too bad........last year i was xmas day night shift & next year im xmas day day shift.
But this year............just so happens with the alignment of the moon and the stars that my usual rolling rota 14 days off is right over xmas woop woop woop!!!!...........up to scotlandsville via the lake district with the missus, dog & baby......much food, booze & enjoy time with the family.......baby is 11 months old & my gran still hasnt had the chance to meet her, my folks only seen her once..........sorry to rub it in Robbie but woop woop woop!
Got a cottage with a log fire not far from my folks bit.....we also all have a couple of luxury apartments in princess street for a night for the whole lot of us courtesy of my little sis, xmas market with fine grub & booze from around the world on offer......that's what xmas is about. 8)
& my phone will be getting switched off too........no surprise calls from work for me asking me to come in.....no thanks.
