Been out since 8am but Weather in the south east has me well and truly beaten now.
Doing a gutter 2nd floor at 8 in 60mph wasn't much fun!

7:30-1:15 without lunch and then it lashed it down. Just about managed to get everything done that I had planned.  Using the pole was like flying a kite though.

Been playing catch up with paper work and other stuff, printing leaflets, watching star trek.  I could have gone out first thing but glad I didn't bother now.

They had the police chopper out earlier, evacuating people not far from me. Nightmare down here, although my house isnt under threat so feel for the people who have been affected.

Im here tearing my hair out because ive got 300 houses over due, yet peoples homes are flooded... had a bit of a reality check earlier lol

Vehicle was due road tax as from 1st Feb so decided to SORN it as weather for at least Feb doesn't look good and it saves any comments from customers about always raining after you've been, so at least a month off.

So Dazmond, we both feel good then, no I've not been looking out of the window for a month, I said I hadn't taxed vehicle from 1st February which is only 6 days, not a month, anyway I'm enjoying relaxing time until weather improves.
