I take a 'week' (for me that is 14.5 hours a week) off. My manager gave me it as unpaid holiday, so i didnt mess up my sick days or holidays. She's great, and basically as long as I make up hours/take it as hols she doesnt mind... Unless it's a weekend which she relies on me for... Her sister had major mental helath probs and killed herself bout 19 years ago, and my boss has brought up her sisters kid as her own (her 'daughter' is 20 now). She understands how awful the NHS/mental health prof's can be - no one helped her sister and then said that she'd not used the facilities properly as a reason she'd killed herself. Anyway, I'm off the point right now. But, yes, take it a few shifts at a time...That's what I do! xxxxxx Love you RYL mummy xxxx
