I've given up.And i'm near three weeks behind anyway. Bit of a disaster.

Tonight took 4040 etc in, took pumps in and drained heater.

It'll be jan when i face the punters again.I'm hoping not too many drop me, but if some do, they do.

three weeks behind yesterday you were three years in front of us all

I am planning a bit tomorrow at -8, don't how I will get on but worth a try

[Klean07]

Fair play mate. One of my custies gave me a bottle of something but its wrapped up in xmas paper so Id better put it under my tree along with the other present I can open on the big day.

Hiya mate, Went out yesterday and got a full day in but woke up today and very heavy snow. Its only just stopped here. According to radio Merry Hell has been the quietest its ever been (thank god). -7 here tonight. Must be bad to have most of premier footie games called off!! As most have undersoil heating.
Well I'm still optimistic in getting all my work done before xmas. I've only got another 3 days max anyway. Good luck to you anyway mate.

Same here. The temps we get here during the day are what the southern softies get during the night.

Go out wfp'ing at 3am & see how you fare! :

See the news today 'cos they got a few inch down south : We had over 1 metre two weeks ago!!! : :

[birdymiller]

Been -3 all day today, im trad. Water froze til 12ish so used cloths. Managed to mop and blade for a couple of hours then started to freeze again. So called it a day. Im in sheffield and at moment we have not had this batch of snow. We got 2 foot two weeks ago which meant i had ten days off. Got fed up at home bored and not earning so went out in snow drifts just doing downstairs for a few days. Charged my custies half price and they were happy! Not going to get above freezing til after christmas so got to get round this either changing starting time or using screenwash or just cloths. tips are going well as well, custies are taking pity on me coming out in such extreme conditions so are tipping well and getting 4 or 5 hot drinks a day!

We really needed about 2/3 more days but it's not looking good but not prepared just to give it up - even if it picks up mid week then will give it our best shot.

We've got under 10% customers which are over 6 weeks but we've got a whole bunch which like an extra 'early' clean before Christmas. It'll be a case of most profitable/closest and apology phone calls to anyone we've promised but can't get to. Side roads are going to be out round here for certain until all the snow we've had today starts to melt (got approx 5/6 inches)

Problem is, first nice day they all think they are priority. My aunt's been on the phone and asked when we were coming to do hers.

6 inches you are joking you are not that far from me and we have had more like 14 inches so no work for Monday and yes you were right they did close merry hill down around lunch time today due to weather me and a mate off mine went down to great bridge today and it took us 2 1/2 hours to get back and it was only 6 miles the worse i have seen since i was 17.

[Paul Coleman]

Give up?  No chance.  I'll write off days individually if I have to and even part days.  There's no way I'm writing off whole weeks if there might be windows of opportunity in them.  I will be keeping options open until last light on Xmas Eve and also the 29th - 31st.  Indeed there is one job I may even do on the 28th if travel is possible.
