I generally have to stick to the school holidays so that dictates when I take my leave. However I spoke to my line manager about having bank holiday week off so not long to wait at all 😁😁😁WinterWarrior said:That all sounds lovely. I hope you survive going back to work ☹️ I like to book the next days or week off so I have a new countdown in place…then I can think ‘only x weeks until I’m off’ when it feels never ending 😬
Thank youteapot2 said:Sounds like a good weekend to end off your break and hope the return to work isn't too painful.
First day back wasn't too bad. I'm back to my own work rather than helping out with emails and complaints which is always good news

Because I totally don't need them, and I probably won't even wear them outside of the house as I hate my legs.
But, but, but I love the patterns! Hopefully they will be as nice as they look
