Very annoying this bad weather, i've got about a day and a half left to do of my December workload but probably wont get them done til Jan now.

Fin - Isle of Wight to Eastbourne could be severe. There's also a strong possibility of storm force 10+ in the Channel tomorrow evening between about 9pm and 3am Tuesday so anywhere near the coast could really cop it.

Same here. I've loads that I need to be doing. I was behind anyway and I'd promised quite a few good customers I'd be around during the week before Christmas but it just hasn't happened. Now the next two days will be a wipe out. Gusts to 70mph are more than just a possibility.
The end of the week isn't looking good either.
It now seems to be the same each year. This southern coastal strip seems to coping it more and more each late autumn/winter along with the SE bit into Kent.
Good luck with the game. I hope it ends up a better score than their last match.

This is God's revenge for having a town so full of weirdos.
-
Dry here in Sussex,hopefully get full day in,hope all the others with work to do get lucky with weather.
-
Going to be wet here tomorrow, but we're on time, so get everything finished today.
-
8-10 am today possibly then a possible full day tomorrow if the wind is not to strong only promised a handful of custys i would get round but with weather so bad at times what can you do .
Probably got more chance of getting more money by trying to collect on a few custys today who i know will be off for xmas . Mike
-
All those wet weather lads that say "Yeah, I clean I the rain. You've just got to train your customers and man up", well here's your chance, crack on then lads! ::)roll
When they say it's going to be bad today, frankly it's like that where I am here in Wales regularly, and that's why I have spare days for wet weather.
-
its not the rain, its the strong winds with the rain thats the problem, doesnt seem to bad at the mo, might try do a couple hours
-
The problem with the weather over the past week plus what we are going to get is the wind as a rule i will work in the rain but not in strong winds when it is lashing against the windows .
I went collecting last week a day after cleaning some houses and after some overnight rain and strong winds the windows when i checked them as i walked up to the house's did not look like they had been cleaned .
I even had the odd custy comment but i did say it was out of my control so you have got to tread with a little caution at times ,
It all depends on how much you really need to get your work done i only have about 8 hrs work to do as over the past 2-3 weeks i have been bringing a days work or more forward and working 6 day weeks while i could as i knew i would be off for a week so why lose out so much and be getting in a panic that you cant get through your work in time for xmas .
FORWARD PLANNING MY FELLOW WINDYS . Mike

This is God's revenge for having a town so full of weirdos.
What town do you live in Geoff?
-
I've got my own town, set side for just me. It's called, 'Geofftown', not to be confused with Grifftown or Hectown.
This way, I am guaranteed to be weirdo-free. But it does mean I have to travel a lot for work.
-
2 houses and I'm drenched that's me done
-
I had a full day planned for today and an easy morning tomorrow but thats window cleaning in the winter for you ....... may do Friday but think the year is actually done now ..... roll on 2014 :)
-
ive had three fence panels blown out in my garden already
glad i worked saturday and sunday no chance today :)
-
I live 14 floors up and I was just watching a windie trying to clean windows wfp along a road opposite.
He could hardly hold the pole upright for more than a few seconds at a time to rinse the windows. I was amazed he was even trying.
Not only that, being a coastal town, the windows facing away from the rain will just get covered in salt very quickly.

Dry here in Sussex,hopefully get full day in,hope all the others with work to do get lucky with weather.
looks like i was wrong,got a few done now pixxxxing down,hopefully better for tommorow
-
I am shutting down at 5pm today. Been a good year thanks for all the feedback and banter looking forward to more in 2014.
Wishing you all a good Christmas and New year. See you all in 2014
Cheers

I am in the south west of Ireland. Been wet and windy here today, as it has been for the last two weeks, but have still managed to get a few done. I will be out again tomorrow for more of the same. I don't expect to get round to everyone who hoped to see me before the christmas holiday. But hey ho, what can you do?

i was worried that a lot wouldnt be happy they didnt get done before xmas,, the truth is its pointless, i just rang a few to ask if the wanted it done i would do it, very few wanted it done
-
I wouldn't want some fella turning up at the window while I was stuffing the bird, either.

On Saturday I went out to try to do a few, but the persistent heavy rain saw to it that nothing got done, but I did manage to rearrange some of the work for Friday 27th.
Over here most people don't want to see me between christmas and new year, so I am happy to have the opportunity to do some work then.
