There must be a few shift workers on here leaving off the turkey & sprouts and heading for the office? Maybe that's why Hyypia left: fancied a few drinks over the festive period.

Are the players training on Christmas Day,or are they allowed the day off and told to behave?

I think the usual routine on Christmas Day, is to let the players have the morning with their families, and then train/travel depending on the fixture.

Mrs P back to work Boxing Day. More depressingly for her though is she starts 3 night shifts at 9pm NYE.

Are you working?

Yeah, at 6am :)

Managed to persuade some kind soul to do my Boxing Day shift though, so I could attend to, er, more important duties :albion:

Jnr. Skipper has a Gap year Job as a Ward Healthcare Assistant in a Hospital 30 miles away. He hasn't yet passed his driving test.
He's doing his early shift today by the usual one and a half hour train journey. Tomorrow is a shift starting at 2.00 pm. and ending at 10.00 pm. Boxing day, back to the 7.30 am start. They don't get fabulous money, they get days off in lieu.
So I will be driving up and down to Lymington throughout Christmas so that he can do his job. I have a Christmas meal to cook for both of us but with those shifts it looks like Saturday or Sunday before we can sit down to eat it at a reasonable time.
We would normally be eating Christmas Dinner at my Sisters in Woodingdean with about 10 to 15 other members of our family and then Brighton at home for a change. :( Merry Christmas every one.

I met a young lad yesterday who said he's doing a double shift on Christmas Day as a care assistant in a nursing home. Said he loves the job (and admittedly gets paid better on Christmas Day, so it's worth his while). Absolute credit to his family, how good to see a young guy so dedicated and caring. Full of admiration for people who do that job (and nursing), as it's never very well paid, and it's not one a lot of people would want to do.

Good luck with the hospital runs, Skipper :)
