Everyone loves a short work week or a long weekend to recharge the batteries.
Although Christmas and New Years have just been, many are wondering when the next bank holidays are coming.
Bank holidays are named so because banks, government offices and most businesses are closed on these days.
These three-day weekends give workers a chance to take some time off from their work lives to spend time with friends and family.
While the weather may be a bit dreary now, the bank holidays in May will hopefully give people an opportunity to enjoy some sunshine.
