Post by: Crystal-clear on January 02, 2012, 02:20:16 pm
today is a bank holiday but tomorrow is a working day right? non of my round but one day is worked on a weekend/bank holiday but if tomorrow is a working day is it likley that customers will have family etc round and off work because it was only new years the other day

when do most people return to work i mean most customers not us do they take the whole week off? and return on thr 9th?

for the last 3 years i never had the chance to work so close to new years cos of the snow

I was meant to go back today, but I thought I would have another day off, and eat to much  ;D
Most if not all working people go back tomorrow.

I was planning to go back today and do a few of my 4 weekly's - but decided to take the decorations down and pack Xmas away instead!

If I don't get the weeks work done by Friday - I'll work a Saturday morning.

I worked last week too -though I didn't do much.  Just a few light commercials and a few houses to save going to the cashpoint.
I did a couple of light commercials his morning too before doing a coach trip to the football.
Back to normal tomorrow though it sounds like the weather may be too extreme.

First day back tomorrow, the forecast is crap so another day off, im really itchen to get back in routine, if i dont work soon im going to have... a crisis. i suppose i can play with the r.o. sort out trad gear. check ladders etc. have a nap, watch tv, sling away the old maggots away left over from a fishing trip. i suppose i could count them, that would be fun.   happy new year to you all.

I was all geared up and mentally prepared for a days work today, then I got up and looked out of the window. Actually I didn't have to, the rain on the window woke me up about 5am.

And the wind was blowing hard enough to be heard above the Mrs snoring.
