My eldest sister is a nurse and her kids are older so she works all over Christmas to enable colleague with small kids to have the magic as they did when hers were little , she used to swap Christmas Day with someone that had no kids/ older and they wanted the extra money .My lodge didn't look like that at Sherwood! Agree most people couldn't afford a break right before xmas but what about the annual leave! Most working mums are lucky to have Christmas eve off! Mark must have been on one of his 'special fridays'
