So how long can you go without working?

Cheers

[HIGH LEVEL WINDOW CLEANERS (scrimmy)]

i dont mind working in the cold......but i have to tell you, collecting last wednesday night...the whole run was like an ice rink...should have taken me iceskates....on a serious note, 3 folk died up here last week slipping on the ice and cracking the back of their head.....thats why i am awaiting delivery of the ice grippers from ebay for my boots.

3 hours further inland than you Dave, a foot of snow here since a week. All next week is average -6 to -8, so it's not looking good. I live 900 meters from the nearest road, so just getting out of here is a challenge. Once we get out though, it will be pole work or downstairs only. Oh well

Had a very dry and hot summer, so this is the payback I suppose.

[pingu]

if it's that bad I'm just going to cancel it all and enjoy the time off....then I am due back to work on the 25th of Jan...I might a well sit here watch porn and just enyoy the scenary go by glad I got that xxx package added to my tv channels.

Cheers
Dave.

I reckon we could get 4 weeks work done in 3 if we had too. Would be knackerd, but you got to get it done
Just wonder how long this snow is going to need to melt. We can get by if we only do downstairs, but that's alot of money to lose.

This is the worst part of this WC malarky Dave. That's why we are building the carpet cleaning side of the biz. So far this month, we've got about 600 quids worth booked. Nearly all of the carpet stuff can be done late afternoon or weekends, so fits in well so far.

Its more the frustration that is getting to me really..I have a slush fund to get me by and for the most part I have planned for this bad weather so money wise it's no biggy (not that I want to use it really).

It's just that I want to work and do what I am supposed to...I feel useless really...

The snow is ok but it's just when it melts and refreezes that makes it hard...so even trying to drive round in the van is very hazardous I already need a new back door due to damage caused in the ice...main roads can be ok but most houses are on side roads that are just not treated so are like little ice tracks.

I think I like you I need to look at another venture that might help when needed.

This is the Dutch predication for the next week starting Monday.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Minimumtemperatuur (ēC)   -8   -9/-6      -9/-4     -8/-5    -8/-3
Middagtemperatuur (ēC)     -1   -2/+1     -5/-1     -3/-1    -2/0

I have to admit the Dutch for whatever reason are normally bang-on when it comes to weather prediction...I have learnt to take their word as gospel...

Have a goody...
