Did a handfull this morning but everyone seems a bit grumpy. Had a phantom sill wiper just after i'd finished so she wound me up, small school to do but locked out then another miserable old woman who said "not today it's Cristmas after all!"

most just will not want you around, they will be at home enjoying family time, they dont want to have some1 peering though the windows at them

i worked all day today and picked up a new customer and worked all xmas eve and will work till about 4 on wed, i cant understand why people woudnt expect you to be working its not a public holiday the bin men, posties, wheelie bin cleaners etc are all working, as far as i am concerned if the banks are open then why not. dont get me wrong if everything was rosie and i was made of money i wouldnt bother either

[mark dew]

couple of hours today. probably 3 tomorrow and 4 on friday.
I wanted to stay off until 2nd but i was itching to get back again. Xmas fell on a funny time this year.

It's -6.7 deg here in Holland (07:31am) so I don't think I'll be splashing it all about today.....

Cheers

Its amazing how much colder it gets on the mainland of Northern Europe compared to here.

[pingu]

Just dropped to -7.1 but I have always found this time of day to be the coldest at around 08:30...

Just too cold to work have tried the brush heads and they just freeze within minutes...but it is the jets and feed pipes on the brush heads that freeze first.

Cheers

I'm enjoying the time off; this is the longest I've had off in years; and I'm not going back to work till the 5th; but funds are running low to be honest, since we've all over-spent this Christmas.

[ftp]

I might pop out for a bit later but it's very tempting to stay in. £50 would be better than nothing at all. What worries me is that if i wait untill the fith then the weather could be even worse.

I was going to do a few hours today, but I'm still frozen up in the hose.

I've had a hot fan heater in the van for nearly an hour now, but microbore is still crunchy!

Annoying, because there's no frost this morning.
Obviously much colder in the middle of the night.

[Tosh]

Squeaks, that's got to be annoying; the back pack does have it's benefits.

Would taking the hose inside your house overnight be possible?

if its just a hose chuck a kettle of boiling water over it. a kettle or 2 will sort it out straight away. i do it all the time with no problems

[Sir Squeaky]

Yeah, you're probably right.
Should be ok now anyway though.

Tosh, I carried it in once, but never again.
The old back suffered after.
Have you felt the weight of 100m of hose full of water?!
I've got 14 steps up to my house too!

If I've misjudged it and get a frozen hose, I bring it in and put it in front of the fire.  Not too hot though as I don't want to melt it.  I'm going to check the outdoor temperature in a minute as it might be OK now to get an afternoon in.

I know it's not so great on the back is it?  I live in a middle floor flat which is probably the equivalent of your garden steps.  It's a pain but it's a necessary one.

Cold ...I have just been out ice skating (badly) on our local pond !!!

Dave.

[suds window service]
