I never trust the forecast these days.

Originally it was terrible. But actually now, it’s a bit wet, bit breezy, but nothing too bad. Gonna just have a later start and get my work finished for the week.

If only we could invent an accurate weather forecast. This time next year Rodney.

I have these types of days from time to time either because of weather or mopping up scraps.

Its funny because just 5 years ago when i started £100 a day was a dream, 500 a week! rolling in dough  :D now £100 in a day feels like poverty lol how perception changes.

The wind was blowing quite hard in Bournemouth.

I'm sure the wind blew my pole next door and I accidentally cleaned some of their windows too.

I should have put some slips through...  ;D

Not necessarily. When you have kids/family at home, hobbies,  things to do etc. Have plenty of money in the bank already, work coming out your ears... then working in crap weather for 100 quid is far from the best way to spend your day. It all depends how you value your time, priorities etc. For me, on days where there's a reasonable chance of having the kind of outcome described above, I have far more valuable ways in which to spend it.👍

Same. Done £100 and jacked it off about 10:30, soaked to the bone, sun came out around midday which is standard.

The thing is I've  time for hobbies etc every day of the week even when working....if I earn £100  I've still got 22 hours left in the day for hobbies/chill time/sleep...

I took Daz’s advice. I’ve been stood outside for an hour and fifty five minutes now. Doesn’t work, going back inside now and getting dry pyjamas.

Get two pairs of Gore Tex pyjamas. When one pair gets too wet, dry them on the heated seats and put the other pair on.

I'm glad i was doing insides today...

I have to say though that with all the rain and wind we had this morning the outside windows still looked good that I cleaned yesterday, even the customer couldn't believe how clean they were still.
