I can empathise with this it always seems to happen to me, but I think mine & possibly yours is a stress related issue, you know you can relax & then the mind & body just takes over & crashes, takes me 2-3 days before I feel 'normal'

Yeh I think you're right, I was thinking along the same lines a few weeks back.

My lead up to a holiday involves a week of finishing off normally 3 or 4 awkward jobs along with the usual work that's booked in, bloody spent by the end of it!.

.A guy I used to work with booked a 3 week family holiday in an expensive Portuguese villa
He went down with mumps on arrival, was whisked off to hospital, where he spent two weeks, and he then spent a week recovering in the villa. He never even made it to the beach at the end of the garden!
He then got back to work on the Monday, 3 stone lighter and white as a sheet.

The boss did not give him the time back.
He left the company soon after ......

Don't worry, @Sandra6 , a lot of people spend their days off wasted, so you're in good company. :laugh:
Hope you feel better soon, preferably before your next days off.

There is a difference between annual leave and sick leave

If you are too ill to have worked then you can claim the leave back

I have just done this with one of my staff

Weeks leave, saw doctor on Monday and signed off

Produced fit note and leave reinstated

Unfortunately, I don't get paid for the first 3 days of my sick leave, so it's more financially prudent to be on holiday rather than sick.
I'm feeling a little better , thanks @Pat "5mph" , I'll be back to work tomorrow, like it or not.
