We've just been using ladders and a squeegy all week and will continue to do so till it gets warmer.

I've selected the easy stuff; I'm not doing awkward jobs trad; and to be honest I'm quite enjoying the simplicity of it.  However I haven't turned over as much as I would've and I'm feeling pretty tired.

I'm getting old!  :P

ten 'till two for me. Could have done more if I didn't have to come home for a pee  ::)

Went home to pee? why do you think they make fabric softner containers with wide necks?
I can manage with one of these even now I'm using the car, AND DON'T WASTE IT, TAKE IT HOME AND POUR IT ON THE COMPOST HEAP.

Been working all week.
Snow here but nothing like up North.
6"

First time I have seen water freeze on double glazed windows.
Had to call it a day at 14.30.
Even the water from the aplicator started to freeze on the windows.
Makes you work quicker though! ;D

Luckily it wasn't so cold for you then.

Hot water freezes quicker than cold water.

I have never noticed before, and we always clean in freezing cold weather.

Oh it'll keep your system running. Would have helped me today!
But for those with freezing on glass problems it's unlikely to help.

Light snow here and the roads are clear.

Started at 10 am in icy windy Avonmouth and did a small commercial wfp and put grit down and swept it and the water away round the entranceway door which I bladed trad.

Then did four houses wfp and salted and swept away from the doors which I did trad. Then as it was getting near 3pm I finished off with three bungy's trad with screenwash and water in my bucket 50/50.

So I'm making my goal of hitting three figures a day so far this week but it is only half what a good December day (say 5 degrees celsius with no prospect of freezing overnight) would produce.

Hey ho - pre wfp six years ago and a ton in a day was a reasonably good day for me. 
It's a game of three halves!

one of my biggest concerns is the water falling to the ground and freezing.
if someone slips on it i could be liable.

You WILL be liable, but some people here think i'ts worth the risk.  The risk of their pocket, that is, not to the poor sod with a twisted ankle.

So far we have not lost anytime this week until today. we are starting at 9 insted of 8 as its still minus 5.

We run a cold system but I have found if i prepare well overnight we get through the day as if it were like any other, apart from freezing our own nuts off of course  ;D
