Absolutely tipping it down in the North West, for the 4th day in a row, raining where you are?
-
i was up at half five this morning,done an inside job,then drove miles for outside work,only for it to be blown out because it was tipping it down.Drove home,now the bloody suns out.
-
see i read the weather forecast! ;)
Had the morning off as weather was bad, just on my way out now as it has all cleared up
-
tipping it down here in gloucester, my bank manager "wife"wont be happy,not ernt much last few weeks,bloody rain
-
It is the wettest drought since records began
-
I am looking out of the patio door and its raining.
Saw the weather forcast this morning and I thought forget it.
Its great when you have a choice to work in foul weather or not, some dont. The bin men have been round this morning looking grumpy.
I take the long term view with the weather. Its what I earn over a year that counts not what the weather is doing in one week. You will have good weeks and bad weeks. This is my 49th week wfp this year and its been a cracker of a year. I only need to earn another £500 before the end of the year to hit the target I set myself. So I feel pretty Darn good despite the weather outside.
Make hay whilst the sun shines is my motto.
Best get back to the wife.

Worked right through it gents, it doesn’t faze me in the slightest. Gale force winds, rain coming in sideways, thunder & lightning the lot also had to do quite a few balcony climbs I tied the ladder on every one of them.

I thought at one time the van was going to blow over. I was parked up having a coffe at the time.
I pressed on and completed my day.
What a blessing that WFP is, there's no way I could of worked off ladders today.
I think this last fortnight is the worst weather for the last 13 years, On the North Wales coast that is. Dai
