Winter not over yet.....
I'll be working through it as I'm off to the canaries in a few weeks! 8)
Hopefully it'll only be a light dusting! :)
-
Thanks for your personal update.
I'm also on holiday in a few weeks, thought I would share, yes 5* all inclusive.
Cruise booked for next year already and I'll keep you updated on the dates I'll be away because everyone cares so much...oh snow did you say? ;D
-
What week are you off Daz I’ll pop up and steal the van 🤣🤣🤣
-
Not sure they do beans in the bath at the canaries Daz, prob worth checking before you go
-
Talking of snow did you see Spain the other might
On the news they had 15” of snow and they said it could get as far as where you’re going Daz.

its not really, just choices...
loads of holidays and live in council accommodation (or similar) or invest in your property say a 5 bed detached house over looking the sea....

Yeah peanuts to go to some of these places it’s more expensive to have a week off at home,another cleaner I know always goes away he just gets an apartment with his Mrs never used to pay much more than 3-400 quid.

Some of us choose not to brag about what we've got, where we're going to a bunch of strangers though 👍

Hope it’s not Tenerife on the 21st 🤣

Daz has been to elevenereefe don’t forget.

Can't wait.....need a bit of warm sun before the spring and lighter nights really kick in! 8)
-
Hope it’s not Tenerife on the 21st 🤣
No.... we love lanzarote.my missus is a skater girl and there's a nice big skate park across from the hotel :)
It'll be around 25c in the day which is perfect for bike rides too.also there's a couple of decent gyms nearby to get a few workouts in while I'm there!💪

'couple of gyms"!
That's not a holiday, that's a labour camp.

Just over £1400 for 2 of us for a week in a 4 star hotel all inclusive which is not bad.i booked and paid for this holiday in Aug last year...👍

Can’t remember last time I paid £1400 or less for a holiday. 2 kids and wife’s a teacher which means school holidays only = £5k+ every time.

That was a good deal Danny when I booked it.probably because it's slightly before the main season.our holiday to Greece in September cost me twice as much as this one but that's a 5 star hotel.....
Everything's going up that's why I'm putting nearly every job up from next month.

Flights and holidays have gone through the roof recently. Glad I booked our flights for Greece early as they are twice the price if I were to book now.
Holiday cost for school holidays are insane if you were to book a package, atleast double the price. I always book independent for that reason. 3 weeks in Corfu in August for less than £2500 for the family 8)

Back on topic....
Ice melt grit in the van and sweeping brush for next week. ;D

Come off it Daz, we all know the real reason you posted this thread…….and it’s got nothing to do with ice or grit ;D ;D

My wife’s also a teacher, 2 adults 1 child ( daughter is 15 now so it’s 3 adult prices really) We usually fly from Newcastle or Manchester the first week of our summer holidays as the English schools are still in. We usually save around £1k compared to flying from Edinburgh or Glasgow.

Do you split the cost with your girlfriend Daz? or do you pay for the whole lot yourself?

3days next week, getting fed up with freezing weather.
-
Anyone got snow where they are?
No sign of it yet here in the North West.....
Hopefully it'll just turn to rain by the time it arrives here.... ;D
-
Forecast snow tonight for us and tomorrow for Dartmoor, pointless attempting to drive, let alone work with ice as well so two days off in the warm and dry, no big deal.

I agree...not worth risking crashing the van or getting stuck in it somewhere!
-
Last time we had freezing rain and I stayed home. Traffic news said Police closed many roads owing to so many accidents. Couldn't even stand up to walk on the roads or pavements, It had rained heavy early hours then froze up solid, one big skating rink.
Cheaper to have a day off than be stranded in a long queue going nowhere for hours on end.
-
Forecast -3 here tonight and 3c tomorrow, with light snow...
No where near bad enough for me to be having days off.
-
Just make sure everyone’s got the old frost stat on 🤣🤣 🧊

Had 1/4 tank of water left over from today that was hot just filled the tank up and the temperature is 54 degrees don’t think that will be freezing 😂😂😂😂, don’t expect to hear the frost stat kick in tonight .
-
It will be down here m8 I don’t know where your probe is but mine was coming on last week a couple of times,I know it came on last night when I disconnected reel to tank the hose had water in it so it had been on.

It won’t come in until the water temperature gets down to 2 degrees , mine won’t drop to a like that as it’s well over 50 drinks the tank and that’s a 1000 ltr tank
-
We got 4” of the white stuff this morning.
-
Who's working then? ;D
-
-5 here right now, -4 yesterday morning too.
Grippatank heaters paying its way for me again this year. ;D
-
No snow and dry here and now looks like it's gonna miss us entirely as its gonna turn to sleet/rain instead according to the forecast.
Just as well as I don't want any week days off before my holiday as I'll lose too much money
-
Snowing here 1c its not sticking though....im finding it quite nice working in the snow :D
-
It’s 11.5 degrees here so no ice and snow , warmest day of the week so far
-

2 x 5 hour days thurs/fri to finish off my week and 3 days next week before hols....can't fookin wait! ;D
-
No heater needed in the van overnight as its gonna be slightly above freezing here tonight.👌
-
Wasn’t frozen overnight last night either. Bit of sleet this afternoon but nothing to stop working. Full days work tomorrow then a long weekend in the lakes with the mrs 8)
-
The central part of the country is getting snow tonight-tomorrow big band of snow making its way across Birmingham area from Wales,rain in the South East maybe a bit of sleet.
-
Falling heavy here now

No snow in Dazland, too much hot air.

Nah, feel crap, weathers crap, ..., besides which not all my custys are paying on line which means im giving back change to possibly vulnerable people, makes it an easy decision, im not that desperate for money.
-

I live about 10 miles away from Malvern, know it well.
-
No snow here, barely dropped below freezing overnight either.
-
Nothing far South it’s been drizzling throughout the night what was in Kent has gone or at least it has on the South borders of Kent.
-

It was like that here yesterday afternoon, then within a hour or so it was a inch thick..
-

I'll be finished for 230pm.....its just rain here now.... :)
-
Ive managed to miss the snow entirely here.all scheduled work completed.
A nice dry sunny day from 9am tomorrow....
-
One of them days today when I just couldn’t warm up all day, chilled to the bone. 🥶
Off until Tuesday now though 8)
-
Got about 2 inch of snow here and its still falling. Supposed to stop 9am tomorrow. Hopefully it will be a day off sledging with the kids if schools are shut.
Either that or I'll wake up to slush
-

I find the hands get very cold, when working above your head the blood supply isn’t as efficient and the left hand in particular can get very cold! Even with gloves. More so on bigger commercial work.
Tend to find long johns and layers keep the body warm enough with a hat and snood.

Another advantage of hot water when it’s cold, it heats your hands up when you carry the hose.
-
Try stretching the left hand from shoulder down to the wrist,could just be something like a trapped nerve causing that.
-
I wear nitrile gloves and I can feel the heat through them carrying the hose or poling.if they feel a bit cold I run my hand through the brush jets...
On topic a slight dusting of snow on the grass but none on the roads
Crack on as usual.... :)
-
12 inches in Leeds and surrounding.

Rain all next week with strong winds Monday and Tuesday....glorious start to March ::)roll

No ones turning over a council flat, you’d get more by nicking some sweets from the local corner shop.

Get Dazmond to fart on them after he's had his baked beans? He won't be around for 11 days though.

If he does that in the swimming pool and follows through (highly probable at his age) that'll be the last holiday his girlfriend takes him on.
