Hi everyone,
I'm going away on holiday for 2 weeks on July 4th and just wanted to ask the best way to prepare for this.
Every year I go on a 2 week holiday but in the past I have had my best mats mate to do a couple of days whilst I was away to keep things ticking over and sites from getting ****** off.
This year however, he is not around so what is the beat strategy, I don't want to be stressing while I'm away about my business falling apart and losing loads of sites when I come back
Would appreciate any advice
Cheers
Ross

Re: Holiday
Double machines in busy sites. Go on mad top up of every site in few days b4 u leave. Leave top key and stock with trustworthy exceptional sites. Leave note with site explaining holiday.

Re: Holiday
yep gavin got it spot on, a note with your holiday dates on is a must make sure you got your answering machine on and ask them to leave a msg if machine breaks down then you can hit them first when your back along with your busiest sites. i never take my phone on holiday because it can make your holiday a disaster, enjoy yourself.

Re: Holiday
Holidays are a real issue for me too. I live in a rural area, miles away from my family, who all have jobs, so have no one to call on in such circs. Therefore, I can only get a proper break in winter. I cant understand how someone with 300 towers, would manage, if they did not have a fallback person, for this and any illness etc.

Re: Holiday
Are you guys telling me that at no stage in the year is it possible to take a week or two off. It is possible with planning . Just follow Gavin's advice and you will be fine. All sites understand that you have to have a holiday and if you've been giving a good service all along then they won't mind if you miss a fill or a jam for the duration of your holidays.
