    Mondays for the extra public holidays, then wed/thur so that you always have a long weekend

    I used to do Mon, Tues, Fri at work. It was great. Like two weekends. Fridays are great to work, especially after a break, because everyone is feeling "Friday" and winding down whereas you're feeling ready to go, so you look super-productive but still get the long lunch and can knock off early.

    Because part-timers often get public holidays taken out of their slightly increased annual leave (or at least they do in places I have worked), I'd say Tues, Weds, Fri would be your best option. You get the long weekend (and a weekend if you work the Sat that week), only work two days in a row max AND don't have to tiptoe around the house when your DH is recovering from nights.

    Other consideration for me: what day is payday? Elect not to work that day. Cos then you get money coming into the bank when you're sat at home doing no work. I love that feeling.
