How can anyone do work early? - with these dark days I'm miles behind! I'm at least £60 a day down due to shorter working days.

I would have said " most of my customers don't mind me doing them a little earlier, so I can have a few days off for Christmas" " most people get some time off, don't they" then told him to &*(^(&^&^^()^()^()6  ;D

I'm in a similar boat.

No way I could bring work forward. Would be great if I could.
