While teaching full time it would have taken a lot more than cash to give up a single day! Made my escape and now open to all reasonable offers, especially Christmas and New Year, that way I could be happier and richer.

Marriage tip number 28 from the gospel according to Ivan .. sometimes it worth donating your credit card for a bit of 'me' time (that way your wattles remain intact)

4. Ten times pay. I’m not for sale, unless it’s huge! 17.3% (410 Votes)

I wouldn't give up my fortnight's summer holiday for anything, nor Christmas Day, New Year's Day, nor would I work early on Boxing Day or late on New Year's Eve/Christmas Eve, other than that I will work pretty much anything, more so than most I mean that almost literally. I have done two 11 hour shifts with a 5 hour break between them before when I needed the money badly enough (completely illegal but hey...) I've also done 19 days without a day off. Dedicated or barking mad?
