ive taking 6 weeks off to go do london, glasto, spain, france and holland :lol: should be a mighty fine holiday
nice, I don't even get 6 weeks holiday in total!

I'm going to request mine after the 4th when I hopefully get a ticket, but I know i'll be told 'it's too early for holiday requests etc' - which is fine, as long as my request gets put to the front of the queue for when we can book holidays!!

3 Month Sabbatical, starting 31st March, via Nairobi, overland down to Cape Town, visit a friend in Botswana, back to South Africa for the first few days of the World Cup, home for a week, then Glasto  :ph34r:  

Going back to work on the 1st July could be a bit of a challenge after this lot! :lol:

:) :lol:  
However hubby on other had has put his leave in and won't hear until end of november. He will be booking deposit tickets though on 4th fingers crossed he'll get it!

Booked it when we got home this year. However, have recently found out I am pregnant (woop!) so will be canceling it and giving Glasto a break in 2010. Think 3 months old might be a bit little, will be back for 2011 though with the wee one too...

Next time if there is a next time, I think you should plan that a little better!!! ;)

Husband will put his request in once we have booked our tickets - don't believe in tempting fate!  
Me....well am hoping to start a post-graduate course in Jan & have no idea of the term dates!  ;)

Mine's already sorted.
Did it about 6 weeks ago when I started getting the ticket day tingles.
