I usually work through most weather , but the wind was waking me up all night with things flying around in the garden banging into the fence panels, I've txt everyone and cancelled.
Looks like I'm going shopping with the Mrs instead  ;D

I learnt my lesson yesterday venturing out in winds. I was choosing what streets to work on, as some areas are built up areas acting like wind breakers. Cleaning windows was ok, wind not really effected technique. However i was dodging flying objects and recycling boxes and van doors slamming on me etc. So its a later start for me today when winds die down.

My mrs wants to go out shopping as well, but i always hate spending on days where i should be earning  :'(

Ditto, i shud have started properly last week. So i should be half way through my work. Whereas im not through my first quarter of my round. I enjoyed having some time of work but ive lost my mojo for returning back to work at the moment. Think its the january blues

Went out this morn, blowing a gale so decided no wfp work. Started trading off a few jobs but it's murder, spray goes all over the windows just as u getting down to the bottom frames.
Jobs in the middle of a row of buildings are ok, jobs on corners are a nightmare with the wind, decided to call it off for a few hrs

Am tempted to go do a small pressure washing job,  but I think I will catch up on some gold rush I recorded on discovery chanel

It's about as bad as it can get today. Snow and ice on the ground, blowing a gale and freezing cold.
Done 1 job and went home. Second day off this week because of the weather.
Sorted out the schedule over Xmas to nice and neat days, it's now buggered already!
Swings and roundabouts in this job, earnt fck all this week but have a couple of beast weeks lined up for the end of the month so it all evens out.

i think we all suffer this esp in january.the best thing i find is to just go out and do half days.ive been doing this all week and ill be working today too(3 hours work locally).ive still earned £800+ this week and thats working from my car with a backpack and a few barrels. ::)roll ;D

ive got a call back to deal with on monday.first one in ages.i think its because id skimped on water(£40 job too).shes a good customer so ill go back and reclean all her windows.ruddy backpacks! ::)roll

£800 on half days on a bad week and your messing about with 2nd hand vans and new engines.
Impossible done straight away, miracles can take a little longer.
