It's just stopped in Chepstow, so if you want to get a couple of hours in it should be ok in the next hour for you.

I was quite lucky considering.....

It cleared up at noon, I had something to eat and got ready to start at 1.00pm.
I did all my little bungalows, and it chucked it down as I was finishing the last one, about 3.45.

£65 is better than nowt on a monday, and not bad considering I didn't start until the afternoon. :)

Still got wet in the end though.... :-\ ;D

I just caught up with paperwork today.  

Paying bills, snivelling to the tax man; explaining why I haven't paid him (he's after most of 04/05 and after 05/06 'on account'; the theif).  We haggled for a bit and we came up with a monthly repayment plan.

Then I went out and started pushing letters through my customers doors telling them I was putting my prices up!

So I've had a productive day.

We had rain in Derbyshire about 3:30. Throwing it down but I finished the house we were on, first clean with WFP, customer came home just as we finished. Explained the new set up and said she could pay when it dried up. No problems, paid me there and then.

Will be working in the rain all this week.

Telling customers it's not rain, but free final rinse!

Typical!

''Dry the rest of the week I've heard.''

Spread-eagled over a conservatory roof and it emptied down, just as though someone had thrown a bucket of water over me! Drenched. Vehicle 500 yards away and finishing off and loading car got totaly drowned. B****y typical - Dry the rest of the week I've heard. - thanks for that squeeky   :)  :)
