horrible here,left girlfriends at 615am this morning and theres massive puddles everywhere.the amount of rain we ve had over the last few days is staggering.one min its dry and fine and then seemingly out of nowhere really heavy torrential rain/hail,strong wind and thunder and lightening. ::)roll

ive got 7 jobs to clean today totalling £292.00(five of them pre notified).they ve got to get cleaned today no matter what as im very busy this week.

thank god im going on holiday at the end of the month.its been a rubbish spring/summer weather wise this year.need a bit of hot sun and blue sky before the onset of winter! ;D

what did you end up buying mate?

you need two by the way(one for morning/one for afternoon).nothing worse than getting wet in the morning and having to put a wet jacket on for your afternoons work after drying off in the van at lunchtime.(not good for morale!). ::)roll ;D

Always chucks it down when you really need to get some work done.

2 weeks behind. Can't work in this it's bouncing down .

This year has been awfull,  apart from that heatwave back in may it's been the worst couple of months since I started.

Got more done last winter

I bought a waterproof karrimor jacket from sports direct £35 , was working in the rain this morning and I am bone dry , fantastic jacket , I didn't get hot in it and the water just rolls off the jacket , and it's very lightweight too - it's completely dry now.

I'd recommend it to anyone!

thats usually the case.it always seems worse  when your sat at home.once your out in the van its much easier to crack on.i must admit i was pushing it a bit today.the odd spell of dryish weather but lots of torrential rain showers and strong winds.the climate is definitely changing.we get a lot more wet weather both in summer and winter these days. ::)roll.
