dom going for meeting with planner shortly,yes weve got a revision and park and loop to look forward to,oh i cant wait NOT.talking to most the office most fancy the 9 day fortnight option.thing is i know you get 5 days off after working 9 but at the moment if you work your day off you are working 6 days on the trot and you are knackered so what will it be like working 9 days on the trot ? you will need most of the 5 days to recover,can anyone recommend a better option or a list of options we can choose from thanks

4 week rotation like this

Week 1 Mon off
Week 2 Tue and Wed off
Week 3 Thu off
Week 4 Fri and Sat off

Only ever work 6 days at a time.

This works for us

you don't work 9 days on the trot! Unless you're out delivering on a Sunday! 9-day fortnight works for me...more Saturdays off and a LONGER long weekend every 4 weeks.
