walked the dog this morning god it was cold 

[Roy Harding]

Did a full day, but some roads were single track with 6ft drifths of snow. And the roads were like an ice rink.

On one road took me about 20 mins to get the van moving as it was sliding from  side to side and going no where.

Lets have some rain

According to my van thermometer the temperature has now climbed to zero so I will be out there by 10.

When it reaches 10! You'll have a very long wait, Paul! About mid March, I reckon...

   .  Well I did get out there around 10 o'clock in the end.  It wasn't the most productive of days as working was tricky and energy sapping in those conditions.  I lost an hour through getting stuck on some ice.  It was a very gentle slope but I just couldn't get off it.  Luckily my customer has a Landrover and pulled my van out (better not put his price up next year  ).  This made me a bit more wary of slopes.  Fortunately I'm in a very flat part of the country known as The Weald.  It's a plain between the north and south downs.  Lesson learnt, a bit later I did another job and ran the hose a long way from the road at the end.  One good thing about this weather is that trip hazard is vastly reduced because a lot of people just aren't going out and the footpath had loads of snow on it.  I had another job with flat roof access but the climb point was from icy decking so I just wrote a bill for a reduced amount and left the bit above the roof.
I'm very happy to have taken £126 from a day that was very difficult at times which had a late start, downtime in the middle, and a bit of motivation difficulty later on.
It wasn't the greatest start either.  I had a cancellation letter from a customer.  Not a huge deal.  It was a £13 job and, in truth, if it were a new job I would be asking £15 anyway.  But they are reliable payers and never mess me about so I would have been happy to carry on doing it for £13.
