How does ten whole days off work sound? What if I told you it could be done by only taking four days annual leave?
Think of all the activities you could do in ten days; think of all the vast amounts of absolutely nothing you could do too.

Sadly, as with most things in life, there are a few conditions to this. Before we go any further, this works on the basis that your job is Monday to Friday, and that you get bank holidays off. If this doesn't apply to you, then you may as well leave now to be honest.
Or stay so you can tell a friend.
If it does, you're in luck - and the first long stretch you can get off work is just around the corner.
To get ten days off from 13 April to 22 April, all you need to book off is 15 to 18 April, because of the way the bank holidays and weekends fall. Obviously this one is dependent on how lenient your boss is with notice and the like...

OURS IS GREAT BTW.
The next one, which is probably a bit more realistic for most of us isn't too far away.
To get nine days off while only using four days holiday - book off 7 to 10 May. This means you get 4 May to 12 May off.

Then at the end of the month, you can get another 9 days off, with just four days annual leave (25 - 2 June).
After that though, it's a case of waiting until the end of August, where you get another nine day break from your colleagues, just by booking 4 days off (24 Aug - 1 Sep) - perfect timing for a late summer break.
Next up, it's Christmas - where you can get 16 days away from the office, by only using seven days holiday. Where you can do something cultured like take a long haul holiday, or just sit in your Christmas PJs drinking Baileys from 10am and eating cheese. Whatever works for you.
So there you have it, you can take 53 days off work this year, all for the price of 23 days annual leave.

All it takes is some tactical planning, a bit of strategy and the hope that none of your colleagues have already done the same thing...
