Thanks everyone! You've all been so helpful. Looks like it will be at least 4 weeks really. I have quite a physical job so will take it easy and be careful.
Meggie....you be careful too with only 2 weeks...it's a tough job! xx
Thanks hun. I am also now thinking 2 weeks will be too little. When I originally asked the question a couple of months ago a lot of people said 2 weeks. And 2 weeks seemed like a long time!! It really isn't though is it!
My work isn't necessarily that physically demanding. I never have to lift the kids and am one-to-one so can control how active the session is. I also work as a special needs nanny on the occasional weekend and that is very physical so I'm taking 6-7 weeks off that. If needs be I'll just have to take more time off. Work will be pleased!!
If you have some control over who you work with then maybe you'll be okay. I don't have such control and ours can be VERY physical. My boss wants to do a risk assessment before I go back. Mine is just before Easter so will have 3 weeks until everyone goes back anyway. Hopefully another 1-2 weeks will be okay for me but even then I may just hide in my office and do some less physical stuff for a while. :wavey:
