OK confession time - I'm looking forward to going back to work.

I like time off as much as the next person, but I like it on my terms, what I don't like is being forced to have time off when it's fking freezing cold and everywhere is either shut or heaving busy.

Am I the only one?

After around 2 weeks with my 2.5 year old and 8 month old, I'm kind of looking forward to some peace and quiet in the office next week!

I've been working from home over the holidays which has helped keep the boredom away.

Hoping to land another contract or I'll be twiddling my thumbs for a while.

Aye, I've got my fingers crossed for the lottery too! 4 more weeks pay, then I'm out on my ear!

Looking forward to getting back to it, but since I've been told my project is comeing to an end, things have been very quiet, making time drag. Mind, makes looking for a new job easier! smile

I'm quite looking forward to going back, done the whole Christmas and New year thing, and now a bit bored this weekend. Got some stuff I could be doing, but can never be bothered at home, and it'll all be done in 2 hours monday morning.

4 days at the Autosport show next weekend too, that should keep me interested.

Stinking cold and Friday was set to be one of the busiest days of the year for us so _had_ to go in. It sucked.

Dreading going back on Monday. I know I'm going back to an absolute st sandwich. Hate my job at the moment, but at the same time lucky to have one in the current climate.

Getting up at 6 for the first time in a fortnight is going to be an absolute hoot...

Wonder if I can remember how to do a tie up...
