Tuesday,Wednesday and half Thursday. You won’t get that Sunday “oh no I’ve hit work tomorrow the weekend is too short” and having a Friday off means you can go for long weekends away or get the house straight freeing the weekend up 🫠

I'm off work on a Monday and i find that loads of playgroups are not on, museums are closed, play cafes are closed. Something to consider if you are wanting to go out
that's what I've been thinking! At first I was tempted to just get it out the way on Mon, Tues and Wed morning but then I realised I'd still have the Sunday scaries and it could be nice to extend the weekend 🙂
thanks for the heads up, that's really annoying!

I work mon tues wed every week and prefer it as I have the rest of the week to myself and 4 days in between to do as I please !!

If your kids are in nursery at all, the Mondays and Fridays are bank holidays, so better for the nursery days to not be then

When I did work I had every Monday off and I absolutely loved it! Everybody was moaning and I was chilled 😂 I use a Monday as a reset day even with our toddler it’s a day to catch up on things,relax and do what we feel like xx

If you're putting them in paid childcare on the other days then avoid Monday at all costs so you don't pay for bank holidays x

If your in the uk avoid Mondays

Also check what’s on in your area and what day that falls on ie story time at the library.

Mondays also you miss bank holidays if you are already off! I work mon tues weds and love it x

yeah my thought exactly. Sounds perfect

Tuesday Wednesday Thursday......long weekends ♥️

How does your company work out entitlement to bank holidays? Mine adds on any missed bank holidays so I was always going to have Mondays off so I get more flexibility with when to take the extra days. I do Tuesday, Thursday in the office & Friday at home which I like. I wouldn’t want to do 3 days in a row as it would be too much
I'm not sure how my company deals with bank holidays actually so it's definitely a question I will ask!

I had Mondays and Thursdays off and it proved to be perfect :)

Not sure what type of company you’re with but the only thing with having Mondays and Fridays off is you don’t get the bank holiday pay whilst being off. Even though it’s a nice way to have a long weekend you’ll miss out on the pay without work.

Don’t work Mondays, save the bank holiday hours!

My son goes to Nursery Tue-Thurs and I request those as my working days.
If you're UK and using a nursery for your childcare you'll find that they are closed on Bank Holidays and you will still be charged. It's only a few days a year but better to avoid them anyway! Also as others have mentioned the long weekend aspect is nice too.

It depends what works for you and your partner if you have one, also around childcare etc if you have any, I work Monday, Sundays and Wednesdays, ideally I’d prefer to work a weekday instead of the Sunday however due to not being ables to get the childcare I can’t 🥰

I work Monday full day in the office
Tuesday half home half office
Wednesday office
Thursday 3h in the morning at home
Friday home

I do Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and I love it x
