i dont really look as a loss i just think oh well ill catch up one day i have a loyal customer base who have stuck by me for years i had 6 months off in 2007 with pneumonia and they still all stuck with me went back and they hadnt got anyone else ...... i know its hard financially to lots of people even me when you cant work but hey what can you do we cant change the weather this week all we can do is say oh well hope its better than next week .......and id still rather be here thinking oh i cant go to work because its too cold than being a soldier in afghan or iraq ....as long as you have heating and some food and water .....pay the electric,water and gas the rest can wait a couple of days we are  all in the same boat i know lots of different people with different jobs who also havent worked and wont get paid so were all in it together chin up the winters only started yesterday 1st dec we still got till beg of march to go yet ;) least theres only me to pay it must be awfull for small shops etc who employ and are not making ....... and it feels worse because this months xmas

Well done steve, great sprite, money is not everything in life, some times GOD does this to tell us to relax your mind and body, and look at life in a different way .

10 hours of late starts this week due to steep icy roads in rural countryside. Better to start late then have a prang in the van as water running off the fields onto roads along the hedges on untreated roads where I had to be this week and hills up to 1 in 5. Not greedy so happy to earn enough to cover bills plus a bit of saving for rainy day :)

It's part and parcel of the trade. Just got to accept your going to have time where you can't work. Mind 12yrs in I still struggle to accept it.

Life used to be full of up's and downs....now i hardly ever get up a ladder :) .
