Back off Holiday and in a funk... Cheer me up??

Lol love it Mrs Shep, can identify with them both! haha. Thanks

Did you have a nice holiday?

Couple more for you

I did thank you, went incredibly quickly though.

I love memes, could seriously sit here all day reading them lol.

Haha thanks for the laugh with these! I'm back to work Monday after a week off so might need to look at them again in Sunday night

Where did you go Daisy? So gutted that we won't be on holiday again until next August/September time!

We went to Newquay, Cornwall Calella. Was lovely, feels such a shame to be back to reality. Our next holiday now will not be until our honeymoon next July

Yeah, we decided after our honeymoon last year that we wouldn't go away this year, but it's hard!

Sounds lovely Daisy, hope the weather was nice for you!

My neighbour (who hates me) was telling me how she's just back from Turkey and how hot it was, wish we still had a holiday to look forward to! Australia feels so long ago already!

Our next holiday will probably be our minimoon next August then honeymoon January 2017!

In NZ you have to 'ear'n your holiday before you can take it, you don't just get your 4 weeks at ghe start of the year and use it up as the year goes on. Since I only started my job in January I wont have earned any leave till Jan 16.....?

What?!!! That's so weird!

Ah that really sucks! Couldn't cope with that! lol. Holidays see me through the year!!

That's outrageous YK. No Leave for a year?

Yeah, it's ust the way they do it, each payslip you get tells you how much leave you have accrued and what date it is 'valid' from. You always have a zero balance in your valid leave in the first 12 months.

my last payslip read, total accrued leave 52.5 hours, total valid leave 0 hours. Depressing

what's worse is that my leave won't be valid till january 2016, but the organisation i work for shuts down for 2 weeks over Christmas/New year. I will be given the option to borrow from my next years leave (which i don't want to do cos i want 4 weeks back in the uk next year to visit family and attend my brothers wedding) or take the 2 weeks as unpaid leave (which i don't want to do cos who wants to be unpaid at christmas when you're likely to be skint enough). It really grates me that the official shut down period basically means that i have the timing and duration of 50%of my annual leave allowance dictated to me, but it is really common here.

on the plus side, you can just keep accruing, you don't have to use it all up in a year. I have known people to 'save up' enough annual leave to be able to take 6 months off! Personally I dread to think how many years they worked solidly to achieve that tho.

Im the same, just back off honeymoon and reality ouch!
