I don't usually work 4 days a week, but I've pushed mysef due to my Florida holiday.

I will have a week's break after my holiday to deal with jet leg, but do others feel they also work too many hours prior to their holiday?

I thought you flew club in the last year. Bronze doesn’t have many great benefits anyway, the best being reserving seats 7 days before the flight, whereas silver and above allow seats to be reserved as soon as you book the flight.

It’s not just the 18 hours, but the preparation, travelling to the jobs. Today’s job took me almost 20 minutes to get to due to an accident.

There is also a danger element, such standing on a step ladder, and like today I was replacing ceiling lights, so plaster could end up in my eyes. Walking around a loft for 10 minutes is risky as I could fall through the ceiling, as well as dealing with itchy insulation and dust.

When the SAS stormed the embassy, no one commented that they were only working for a few hours.

We went last year, but flew to Spain this year. Norwegian. Working on DH for a Florida trippie next year, but just getting a new car, so can’t push him too much!

No, I am serious. Plus I have to do live testing of electrical installations, so that is potentially very dangerous and could result in death (strange how I forgot the most obvious danger),

I thought I was slacking off this week after only working 63 hours, instead of the 70 I did last week!

Take care of yourself, and don’t over do it MH

I've just noticed your count down lol, think we definitely need a trip report for that one. Anyway I think
you have time to fit that sink before you go.
