I started the first job this morning and gave up after trying one window as the wind was so strong.

The wind has died down a bit and I should go and do a few houses but I can't be bothered.

Silly really as I'm 3 weeks behind with some jobs.

You say only a week behind but a week behind is serious money down the toilet. A week behind to me is a disaster i hate it. Just think your car was a grand but by being a week late you must have lost near on that.

mick i dont look at it like that!ive been in this game many years and occasionally we have periods of very bad weather,low motivation and bank holidays that disrupts the normal flow of work.(all 3 together for me lately!!)

its only money!ill soon be out earning again! ;) ;D ;D ;D

i used to think like you but i tend to go with the flow these days.no point getting frustrated by it.i have the attitude of "ill take my luck as it comes".why is it a disaster?if you ve got a good round you ll be fine!! ;) ;D ;D


best wishes
