How many of us are working the bank hols?

onceinabluemoon · 25-04-2011, 06:43 AM

I have one in today and two in on Friday, in between I have 3 days off...

This is the first time since I've been a CM that I've been asked to work bank hols so it feels a little strange. The upside is of course great rate of pay which I can use to treat my own children on our 3 days off.

Anybody else working?

I am working them all but really don't mind in this weather as I can get out and about with the children

Thinking I may book one off in August though!

Enjoy your bank holidays all x

I was supposed to be working next Friday with one, but dont think I will be now and she came down the chicken pox over the weekend

**mushpea** · 25-04-2011, 08:24 AM

**FussyElmo** · 25-04-2011, 08:33 AM

**breezy** · 25-04-2011, 08:40 AM

NOPE! never work bank holidays

**kel1983** · 25-04-2011, 08:59 AM

Nope I am not working bank holidays. I would if asked and I would have to charge £8 per hour. Lukily all my parents also have them off so not needed.

I am enjoying tis lovely weekend, although I did work Saturday 9.30-2.30. Three days work this week for me and another lovely long weekend off. Cannot wait.
