Ive got a few rounds to clean this week so ill be out hopefully tomorrow.

If the water freezes i will be using screenwash and if the ice is too slippy i will be cleaning the bottoms only with the tips to suppliment my earnings. The most important thing is safety so i wont be taking any unecessary risk.

Im quite lucky this year because i have all but 1 bill to pay and some savings to get me through until january so im in a very good position financially opposed to last year. I will do all my collecting and see my customers before christmas no matter what the weather.

Regards
Danny

Wonder how many on here took the advice in the summer to put away a few pounds  ;)

I  put away £40 a week and now have nearly £1000 to fall back on if needed.

No snow here near prestatyn, but there is where I need to be working in Llandudno.
Still _5. Trolleys, ice, and hills make working unthinkable.

I'm in Basildon Essex.  Was -10 over night went out at 9 with warm water still -9 and the water froze on the windows.  Tried a bit of trad and that froze instantly.  Looking at the forecast for my way tomorrow it's much better so I'll just give it a go then.  Still -7 as I type.

Simon...got stuck up your way this weekend.....two hours from the five bells roundabout to the canvey roundabout...absolute nightmare....then another 7.5 hours to get back to clacton.... :'(

There were over 30 cars involved in various accidents on that stretch of road Saturday, good to hear you wasn't one of them.

Around 0 degrees this morning here. Actually feels quite warm! Had a light snow shower too. Worked since 7 on a commercial. A few high windows, so cleared the areas around the windows and salted before using a ladder. Worked a treat. Off to do a couple of bungalows and see if a few houses just want accessible windows done, then I will call it a day.
Do all the good you can, and make as little fuss about it as possible.

Yes, did about £120 of shops and pubs today.
Don't know what to do the rest of the week though, apart from a day of bungalows I have due.

Ignore Tosh's "sprinkling", it's chucked it down with snow all day!
The roads are getting manic now, and it's just got heavier.
