the company I work for is going to be doing a 4 day week till xmas

apart from the small financial loss this is good news

what i need now is ideas for my extra day cheap or free (as i am allready losing money) ways to get the most pleasure from it. But as the missus will still be workin a full week we can't spend the day in bed playing hide the sausage.


suggestions please

Start looking for a new job for when the company goes under/ makes people redundant?

Find more work, because it seems to me that you are about to experience a lot more hardship.

What you'll find is that the 5th day is spent organising for next week and tying up loose ends... IME frown

I am from a manufacturing background and would warn anyone going onto a four day week to be looking very carefully for a new job.
If you consider manufacturing can return 20% profit then going from a five day week to a four day one simply removes all profit.

I've worked a 4 day week for the past 9 years.

We used to work a half day on a Friday, 4 hours, but added an extra hour to the Mon - Thurs.
