I’ve only taken Xmas day, Boxing Day and today off, both the wife and I choose to work, we get bored this time of year, rather take leave when we’re off on summer holidays...

Im not bored, been quite busy.....but starting to feel a bit guilty

Most people i know are back at work tomorrow, i did contemplate it but nah cant go back for 2 days, i will wait whilst monday.

Still 4 weeks left in January even going back next monday so plenty of time to earn. Mind you weather forecast in nice till sunday then rain all next week.  ::)roll

Yep we’re all different mate, we prefer to work it, the wife has an easier time at work this time of year, so she enjoys it, and I don’t mind being out working at all.

We take a lot of time off in the summer for holidays.

This year we have been to Majorca for a week, zakynthos for a week, Ukraine for 5 days and center parcs twice. All between March and November.

Why did you stay in a hotel in Manchester?

I presume being Manchester you mean a Youth Hostel?

A 5* youth hostel by any chance?

You’ll love it! You need to hire a boat from ‘Porto Vromi Maries’ take it to ship wreck beach, and the two secret beaches, ‘white beach’ and ‘sfogio beach’

Don’t take a ‘captain’ or a stupid tourist boat. Hire your own it’s great fun, we’ve done it twice. You just need a driving license.

It’s our favourite island, but never been in May, so you may find the water cold and it won’t be as hot...

Flew into Kyiv, then traveled to poltava as we know friends of the owners of a hotel.

Kyiv is nice, but then it’s a major city like all.

The poverty and the low wages are a revelation. Average wage is £250 a month in poltava. Crazy. They are poor, really poor.

Language barrier wasn’t too bad, some of waiters speak some English.

So despite my promises to self I haven't waited until Monday to go to work.

The weather is so good for window cleaning, Mrs Gold is doing a couple of her cleaning jobs, "Our littlun" is working at the local cafe and so I thought I'd just go and do a couple of hours which ended up being 11.30 until 2.00.

Prolly do the same or a bit more tomorrow.
