i have decided to not do any work till 4th jan and schedule for the month(roughly).i personally dont care about long range forecasts as there often wrong.i do not run my business by believing the forecasts!i cant tell u how many days work ive got done over the years when the weather said it would be a washout and the rain hasnt come till ive finished or not at all!!and thats the weather forecast just for that day!! :

.
also u might be dead this time next month so live in the day!!there is not many conditions i cant work in apart from heavy rain/gale force winds.i can work in the snow and ice without pumps freezing etc as im trad.
best wishes
