Title: who's rained off
Post by: thewindowcleaner1 on August 24, 2005, 12:05:07 pm
Just sitting here wondering how many of us are rained of?

I plan to go out armed with bussiness cards to get some more commercial work if it carrys on, cheaper than going shopping with the missus + kids.

Yeah I'm rained off too.  I did a bit until it started though and I even carried on a while afterwards.  I don't see the point of getting soaked when I'm pretty much up to date with my work.  If I was a long way behind with it I probably would work though.

Did 2 factories first thing then it pi**ed it down, a customer told me that i should check the weather forcast before i come out in the morning guess what i said - begins with f and ends in off

Oh yes let me just check the weather the forcast is rain for today but its not raining yet , but the forcast says rain ! i'd better have the day off just incase.  I explain to her if we all went on like that we'd never earn a penny , weve got families to feed , mortgages and bills to pay  
Just like she has in her warm dry cushy office  stuck up b**ch , yes im rained off too and cheesed off

Hope its dry tomorrow  ;).

yep me :(, going on my holls in month or so and this is going to play havoc with my beer funds :D

as for weather forcasts ill watch them for a rough idea of what the weeks going to be like but with all the new techie stuff we have now you would think we should be getting better at forcasts......

i do my own forcast and put my head out the window in the morning, they forcast 70mph wind across my area for the begining of the week .........that was a load of bull too ;)

no pubs due till next week either :(

ok gota go porn is calling :D


*SMACK......POW*

Forget my last posting on this thread.

The sun came out just before two o'clock!!!!

Went to Stafford and attacked the days work with gusto, [plus a bucket of jollop, applicator, squeegee and scrim].

Oh yes! and an *rse pocket full of receipts which I gradually exchanged for beer tokens as the pm ground onward.

Just about to eat, have bath, and redeem some beer tokens. Lovely Jubbly!!

Here in Brighton the day started dry and mild but that all changed at about 11'ish.

We were doing mainly commercial work so we got soaked but at least we finished early.

Am off to have a siesta.  ;D

I saw Ian_Giles in town soaking this morning.

We were rained off the windows, so I knocked Wor Lass off and went and did a gutter and soffit clean. 

Thing is, the last house we did in the pouring rain, and the customer smiled, passed pleasantries and paid us!  No problem.  Wor Lass hates it though; makes her hair go all 'curly' like the stuff under my armpits!

So, by the time I'd finished the gutter and soffit clean (underpriced at £60 - it was a bugger), the sun came out so I started where we'd finished this morning.

I've started advertising gutter and soffits on my chits, and have two in the bag, and three waiting to hear from. 

I think I'll save those for when it's lashing down.

Unfortunately no windows for me to clean today so I went out canvassing in the rain and ended up with a bag full of soggy flyers.  Mind you I did manage to create a nice papier mache version of a lump of poo. Simple things.....etc..
