So are you getting on top of those odd jobs around the house that you won't be able to do once you're back at work? Or are you one of the four in five who don't use bank holidays to get them done? Let us know in today's poll. Vote now and you'll find the final results in tomorrow's Morning Mail newsletter. No comments have so far been submitted.
