Main summer holiday is after the year end accounts are audited and published. Another break in October half term before the budget season get going. Christmas break is at least two weeks (because we close the building, from Christmas Eve until New Year anyway) this years its three. It sounds restrictive but actually works well for us as we have some guidelines before we start.<BR/>LizzieLizzie @ her homeworldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18257339462096688164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541846551315802129.post-76124831866185841472008-12-30T21:20:00.000-05:002008-12-30T21:20:00.000-05:00We are creatures of habit.
