    Another carer here and I will be working until midday xmas eve, New Years eve and New Years day.

    I'm working other days over the xmas/new year period too, but I'm off xmas day and boxing day. :D

    Just agreed to work xmas night too but most of it will be the sleep in.

    The only day I'm not working is Xmas day. Even New years day is work for me this year. The amusing part is it's all at standard pay.... hopefully I'll get the days back at some point.

    Yeah, we get no extra pay or days in lieu either. Bummer isn't it?

    I've been Money Tipped!
    I only get Christmas Day off. I work in a shop and I hate the fact that we open every day. Do people really need to go shopping on Boxing Day?

    No they blooming well don't.

    It wouldn't kill us to have no shops for two days.
