I'd love to have shops every day, but not enough to go around!
I could ditch wfp and go back to having a nice car again then too instead of a van!

I reckon fair play to him. As with all of us, he needs to make a living, and he is showing that he is prepared to do what he can.

I would be out there too, but with my modus operandi and the type of work due to be done, it's out of the question until the snow/ice clears sufficiently.

I must be desperate mate. I'm out in all sorts of weather. If it works then good. Who cares what people think? I pay bills, when other people start to pay them for me, I'll give a shyte what they think.

Desperate is having a credit card to pay for every day living then only paying the minimum when the bill comes in. Desperate is living off what you haven't earned yet.
