Day No.4 for me. Bored silly. Novelty of snow has worn off very rapidly.
-
same here in coventry
-
Managed two half days this week. Snow now all gone overnight [not a sign of it} but guess what its now raining, and forecast is a mix of rain, snow and sleet.
Gonna give it a miss apart from a couple of chippies and have a go tomorrow, which is supposed to be ok.
Absolute boredom has set in and ive not enjoyed any of this time off, gettin right under my missus feet.

This looks like it could be our first day off this week, had our first lot of snow through the night, not very deep, more just a covering, but the roads are frozen solid and like ice rinks, temperature outside is still -3 deg.
Luckily we have a load of caravans to clean internally, so I can dish out the pink marigolds and Mr Muscle and set the lads away on those.

snow /drizzle here . off to do inside of conservatory after going for a burger hopefully she supplies plenty of coffee .forcast for rest of month not too good maybe might get used to day time tv

Getting fed up now.
I've made less than half the money I need just for my weekly bills, let alone any money for me.
-
2nd day off for me in Gloucestershire. 6 inches of snow. still snowing. Wouldnt mind another few days of it myself. Off sledging with the kids as soon as it stops coming down . theres more to life than cleaning windows.

As i said before. East Anglia always gets missed.

Snowing well here in Worcester, i have managed to work for a day and a half this week.
Severe frost warning for tonight, thats just about the iceing on the cake.... or should i say roads.

We've worked one-and-a-half days this week; made very little money; and spent a small fortune on ruddy DIY stuff.
I've hung a new kitchen ceiling light, changed a light switch, done some painting and put some pannelling up by the stairs in the kitchen and now I'm off to Homebase to get some attic boards to start boarding it out properly.
I always find February the most depressing month of the year!
-
I've not done a stroke of work this week and the first part of next week looks grim too >:(
I suppose on the positive side I'll be snowed under when the weather improves...
...snowed under...get it?....na ha ha ha ha (I should have been on stage)!

Snows got to you Simon ???
Goodness snows when I will catch up ;D
Now I'm at it !!
Pooring here. Waiting for it to clear a a little before I go out.

This part of East anglia (st. neots) is swomped with snow, missed monday, worked tuesday half day, worked weds, thrusday to much snow no work, today more snow on top of what we already had and it is still snowing >:(
To top it off had no post either because it is to dangerous from the posties, so no cheques in either, getting work done in office though so not all bad, just hope it goes sooner rather than later, as it is starting to get on my ..

i made a sledge yesterday, we were out on it at 8.00 this morning :)
my daughters school is shut today, it was the 1 of the very few that was open yesterday, though the head said they could stay in school if they wanted or go home, it was a authorized day off, i asked mine and she said " can i stay and play with my friends " fair play to the school, she spent allmost all day outside in the snow , only 8 stayed in her class ( 2 of them her best freinds ) , only came in for hot chocolate and snacks ;)
i need to tweek the sledge though, will fit plasitic strips on the bottom aswell

We've worked one-and-a-half days this week; made very little money...etc
Same as me.
I've been texting Gilesy and he reckoned it was perfectly workable all morning!
I'm due in St.Arvans, and we went up to have a look...it's 2-3 inches deep and blowing a sideways blizzard!
It's nothing like we've got near town.
He seems to think customers will be fine, and it's normal! :o
He's either full of it, or on the wind-up. ::)
-
full of it i recon!it aint sunny is it or even fair weather!

I think Ian_Giles is just more determined to get work done and money made than the rest of us 'sad-sacks' who take a day off when there's a 'cloud in the sky'!
Of course Wor lass and I could've worked today; we just had a good excuse not too; and I bet you were the same.

Not at all. I really needed the money.
Did you go to St.Arvans today?
No-one would have worked there.
It was like Siberia!
You upset any customer in that.
3 inches deep and sideways blizzard, like I said.
Like this...but in St.Arvans... don't tell me this is fine for work! ::)

;D Good effort!

Snowing here today, didn't start coming down heavy till around 9.30 and was already out. Only got turned away by 2 customers. They all know i work in the rain, so imo its no different. In fact i would rather work in the snow than the rain. The roads were fine, just drives and gardens covered in snow.
-
Still nothing here near norwich.
Please give us some. >:(
