I've taken on quite a few like that and they will be done rain or shine, unless its really going to be severe then like Monday at least you usually have some prior warning.
I do have a first clean arranged for Monday but I think she will understand why I'm giving it a miss. ;D

Snow was predicted for the begining of this week
In January the weather men said we were going to have the worst winter for years.
They have no more idea than we do :(

Whats all that about :-\, I am not desperate its work that needs doin and will still only do a 4 day week.
If the weather is bad then you do what you can.
If you can't work NWH then you can always tidy out your van or untangle the bristles on your brush but don't make stupid comments about guys doin insides.
;) ;)

Same here at the mo, but its sposed to start tonight, and peak in the morning!!!!

Well.... they predicted it would be pouring Friday..... loveliest day in months. They predicted a "big freeze" during February.... was mild all month apart from a couple of frosty mornings....
...they predicted planes would fall out of the sky in the Year 2000, they didnt. They even said the eclipse would be spectacular.... and it barely went dark :P
I tell thee..... if theyre as accurate about the weather this week as they were about the above, then it'll be the best week for cleaning windows ever :P:P
But I could be wrong.... ;)
-
well the sun is still shining here ;D lovley actully if you go outside quite warm
-
I can't get the bbc weather web site to work - probably full of window cleaners trying to find out the weather!

Seems to be a tiny bit of dry weather between 9 and 11:30 here in Surrey. Still not going to risk it I think. :)

i am already gearing up for a day off tomorrow ;D......which usually seems to guarantee perfect weather when the day arrives ::)
-
Wind and rain has well and truly arrived here >:(
Been up since 2am as it's too noisy to sleep :(
I'm sure I must live on the windiest hill on the Planet !!!
-
Bloody weather. Im already about 3 days behind (i took a week off....I am the boss after all :D )
Was hoping to catch up some today. Guess I might just go leafletting instead. (posted 300 yesterday, got 3 enquiries. not a bad result :)
-
No chance of any work being done here today. At least its definitely a no go, worst thing is when it keeps changing its mind.
Going to take the kids to school instead, don't want them standing at the bus stop in this.
-
its wet and windy in darlington , forecast says it will improve later on
-
Raining here at the moment not too heavy but its supposed to turn to snow sometime soon and be quite heavy
I always find without fail that winter always has a sting in its tail no matter how mild it has been every year its the same and at appears this year is no different

Far too blowy for ladders today. I imagine handling a 40' wfp in this wind is tricky.
-

-

-
Its stopped raining here too. Dammit ! Now my wife will be on the phone wanting to know why I'm not out.

We've got a job for the 60' pole planned in for today..........maybe not!!
Might send them out to do some leafleting.
Got another job to do tomorrow, big estate house £550 insides and out, if it's still bad tomorrow we can at least get the insides done.

Absolutely horrible!! Already had to repair gates this morning - feeling it won't be the last with this wind!!!

Can't understand it, it's pretty calm here so far, had a rough night, maybe i'm sat in the eye of the storm, i'll give it another hour i think.

Raining here now too, looking at the sattelite, the rest of the day is going to be like this.
-
There's a lull in it right now but there's supposed to be more to follow around lunchtime. A good day to tidy up my flat and catch up on other stuff (like posting on here) :)
-

Listening to the lunchtime news it all looks pretty horrid for the next few days down south. Thinking that I might be stuck indoors until mid-week >:(
-
i tiled my downstairs cloakroom, been saying to the wife i would do it on the first wet day, well today was the day
well ive cut them all, just need to lay them now, that'll wait for the next wet day, which looks like tomorrow
-
Isn't it great to know your not the only one stuck inside, and not be able to earn your crust ;D
-
Worked today and had a very profitable day. But it was wet most of the time.

Did a first time clean today with an elderly couple in a large house. the sort of situation that normally causes problems on a day like today.
Turned up made a start. Bloke came out said "I'm off out here's your money and at least the rain will have softened the dirt" :o
And at this stage I was in full waterproofs and it was lashing down.
Who said you can't work in it? Sun came out before I left so I checked the glass and it was drying perfectly.
