-5deg today
« on: January 16, 2013, 06:58:10 am »
-5 deg outside at 06:45 with a high forcast of 0 deg by 1pm!!!

Roads are all like a sheet of ice at the moment. 

Time to put Plan B into action, send guys out leafleting, catch up on a load of leather restoration work, tidy the workshop and fit new tank (when it arrives later) to new van.

Also get two van sign written today in workshop

I wouldn't write the week off. Like Gold does I would try to get a few hours in if possible.

If you can even get just £50-100 done your bad week turns into a good -bad week rather than a bad-bad week.

I think it would be interesting if you guys could post where you live. 

Everything's white where I live, and I think today will be a day off.  Wor Lass has a docs appointment this morning and Wor Little Un has an interview with a college in Bristol this afternoon, so I may have taken today off anyway.

I've prepared nothing last night either!  :-[

SE Wales.  ;D

I've stuck a heater in the van to defrost the reels 'n' stuff, I think I'll go and give it a crack with some houses just down the street.  I don't want to be driving miles to find out I have to jack it in; I'll leave it till about 10.00 am.
