High winds, rain lashing down, heavy snow forecast for later.
I can't remember when I last did a full week.
And they say it's going to get worse. Ah well merry Christmas.

Rain and snow with high winds in notts, took everything out of the van yesterday and wont be putting it back until after christmas, managed to get enough done over the last 7 days to pay the bills and tide me over until new year, going to spend some time re-arranging my round and getting some admin sorted. Start the holidays early and spend some time with the new son and missus.  ;D ;D

Happy days................... ;D ;D ;D

Weird. I worked all day in the rain. I never work in the rain. Today I just did it. Seven years and only worked in the rain when I was caught in it. Only thing people said was 'I don't envy you today' and just paid up. One customer from down the road paid me in advance before I got to her and it was pouring down.

I guess you can work in the rain. Next year I'm just going to do it.

The wind has dropped now, this morning it was howling.
Working in those storms a month back earned me 3 cancellations

Well I decided to go at 12pm as it dried up. Got to my first job opened van doors and tank was empty!!! Strange because I only filled it up last night!!. Found out it was the digi varistream turned itself on overnight and drained tank.
Anyway decided to trad some bungalows instead. But as I was cleaning them it started raining again but managed to earn a lousy £30 all day. Strange today was my lowest ever and yesterday was my highest ever!!!
