Pretty much the whole of the UK business world eligible has done this by now I think. We're not having it confirmed for a little while because the day after the holiday was announced the booking system was overloaded with the entire office trying to book it

I've done this although as I'm just about to move placements the new people may be slightly less than thrilled that I won't be there for all that time.

Hmmm i'm wondering if work were fibbing now, they said we couldn't book in any of next years holiday (our year ends 31st of March) until the new year started.

Might try it on the system tomorrow.

My technicians have to send holiday requests through me. Somehow I got there before all of them. Damn shame that.

Our week is just closing for that period, as obviously so many people will be wanting this time off, they're just shutting down like they do over Christmas.
