Is your work getting you down.

Because of those hurricanes over the holiday period we have suffered devastating damage to our external overhead network. (BT phonelines). So we have ALL been informed this week that the company is invoking "Contractual Overtime". Which means I HAVE to work the next 6 Saturdays in a row. I will get paid overtime but that's not the point. I don't do overtime...I can get by without it so I'm not looking forward to this one little bit! Mermaid is peeved because I always take her out for a meal on Saturdays!
At the end of it all will be the same old company line too..."Thanks everyone for going the extra mile, but remember we can't let up and need to improve over the coming year...yadah yadah yadah!
End of rant from one not very happy bunny!

Never mind LR you can always sling the dosh this way

I wish I was that busy!

You could put the OT to one side and make up for the Saturdays missed with Mermaid, BY BLOODY WELL TAKING HER TO TENERIFE. That is a plan.

I can cope with the grumpiness of you working Saturdays if it means I can get to Tenerife.

You can then join Cru and me for lunch. We had a lovely time today putting the world to rights. Which reminds me - gonna find a different thread.

No! we went to Harveys for a drink and then walked back up the road to the place next to the Chinese (can´t think of its name). Cru had Cajun chicken, salad and chips and I had a burger (left the bun) salad and chips. It was really nice.

We could see if we could set a Guinness world record for 3 old biddies thrown out of a bar for too much giggling.

I am still at bloody work, cor easy life.........Good Idea Reg I have to see what is happening here as I am governed by my leaving date.

Mcqueen wrote:13th April for 2 weeks, We can have a forum meet up,

I have to get 3 things to come together:

1. Can I get the leave on those dates? (Just having the leave available isn't enough. If too many people are off on those dates, I won't get it. It's automated)
   
2. Is there a flight at the right price? (Again, I won't pay above a certain limit and they have to match the leave dates).
   
3. Is accommodation available? (This is trickier. I like private, but the "Illegal lettings" thingy is scaring folks. Again all the dates have to marry).
   

I'll have a look on some websites later. (Kev, that site you sent me doesn't fly to Tenerife from Edinburgh or Glasgow. Bummer!)

Skyscanner it is then.
Cam if you are worried about Illegal letting bit use travel republic as they have apartments in complex areas quite good. I have one or 2 I have used that are legal depends where you want to be.

Cam (or anyone), I've got contact details for 2 owners that are still letting . The only thing is that it is in the Puerto Santiago/Los Gigantes area. These people have withdrawn their ads on the letting websites. ( and they are also 2 bed apartments)

Half way through! It's all downhill from here! That's my 3rd Saturday worked out of 6.Only 3 left...

And look at the pot of gold at the end of it, you get to give me a slap in the flesh.
