But £250 of that was on Monday....oh, forgot, great day for working yesterday, but only managed £90 because of reasons outside the weather, typical isn't it :-\
And only about £40 on Tuesday...sigh...
£6.50 so far today! lol
Guaranteed £40 tomorrow (shops) regardless of weather, but if weather is decent it'll be up around the £200 mark, so a pants week apart from one day.
so I guess it is a bit more than £350, but cos I've sat on my arse most the week it feels like a really awful week!

Here in Germany (near Hannover) the wind is also howling and the rain is beating against my own windows so I have had to cancel most of my work for today :( It is comforting to know that most of us seem to be in the same boat this week though ;D ;D

But did you get any work done? ;)
I sat drinking tea till conscience got the better of me, then went out and did a little commercial job (£25). Violent gusty wind but at least I got it done - went to Faversham afterwards to finish off what I started yesterday - managed to do the three jobs still left in the area so saved having to go back there tomorrow morning. Just finished when the heavens opened :o
Got home, more tea then at 2.30 the sun's come out.
Too late now - I've lost the incentive ;D
Cheers,
Ian

Ive got a new round starting monday in Dartford, this will be my first time out......hoping the wind stops :(

hi there
currently on a high level contract in leicestershire.
tuesday was windy
wednesday ok
today - nightmare gusts, no work allowed,
at a plant cost of £300 per day any delays are costly.
so i'm hoping that we can start again tomorrow.
dont need weather like this.

Worked everyday this week even with the strong wind and rain (Newton Abbot, Devon).
I've even managed to get a couple of jobs ahead of myself and took on 4 new jobs this week which i have also done.
I've had quite a good week this week which i am surprised at.
Got a quite easy day tomorrow ;D

This is my worst week since I started. I think I've done about 200 quid tops; I can't even be bothered to add it up.
Chepstow was wet and windy again today!
This job can seem like the best job in the world at times. On other occassions it's ruddy miserable.
-
I'm not even on £200 Tosh. Usually the last job of a friday is to bank the weeks takings ;D. But today I can't be bothered to drag up to Lloyd to pay in a bit of shrapnel >:(
Hoping next week things will be better for us all.
Good weekend

Yup, that's about what I've done too.
I think I was on about £180, and did about £20 today. >:(
Half of all that was because of shops.
Would have been little over £100 otherwise. ::)
Hey, I agreed with you Tosh!
You must have made sense...

Today was ok in Hertfordshire. Phew!! I needed to get some work out the way.

A couple of years after I started there was a week at the start of October when it chucked it down all day every day. I remember the week because it was the first week of my accounting year. I earned £5 or £10 that week. It wasn't raining one morning so I went out and did one or two jobs. That was my lot for the week.
Today has been OK in the southeast. It got quite windy for a while and there was very light rain in the air for a while but I earnt fairly well today.

Done a lot better than expected this week now I've added up the days. Around £470. A lot of stop start in that though. It's not been too pretty in the southeast but I think you've had it harder further west.
