been out this morning at 9 as it wasnt snowing, until i got me ladder off,so dun 1 house and got £8 tip first tip  8) went to next set of houses what i thought would be easiest to do bungalows,and snow that deep i feel stupid trying work in it,all window sills full of snow and ice,cant be bothered till this rain comes wash it away,


is there anyone actually working in this?if so any of the custys asking you to leave it?

Not working  :'(

Giving me wet winters any day, can't rain all day everyday!

I worry when we have the bright cold days no cloud cover.

I worked Monday afternoon and that was my lot.
Looking ahead, there may be a window of opportunity at the weekend buteven that may not happen.  Looks like a sustained temp above zero next week though.
Looks like the overdraft is going to come in handy this month.

Was out all day Monday, not been able to get out since as our estate is all but impassable. My next jobs are a few miles away from home, so I don't expect to be out again this week.
