Just wondering how many of you went to work today or used the excuse you cant work it is snowing 

[Tosh]

It didn't snow in South East Wales, not in Chepstow anyway; but it was a bit brass monkeys weather.

Yep I went, was lovely in Stafford with sunshine... Did 10.30 - 4.30

I've got an old people's residential complex to do tomorrow; I'd like to have it done before Christmas; so I hope it's warm enough to work.

I still get paid whether I do it or not; I get sent a cheque each month and there's no link up between me cleaning and getting paid; confusing really since I clean this place every six weeks, yet they pay me every month (total annual payment divided by 12 months).

Fairs fair though!

No snow in Plymouth, just bitterly cold. It's okay though cause I'm as hard as nails and still work in nothing but a bright red bikini and flip flops.

I like to be noticed; it's good for custom

In South Gloucestershire I worked 11am til 2pm today and did Wfp tops and downstairs windows away from paths and drives and bladed the rest.

I did a whole bungalow last of all trad. today and the water was freezing on the cills by 2pm(except two dormer windows wfp) - know I know why I changed to wfp! - so much quicker on this particular job!

So I went home and frost protected my van and R/O for the night at 3pm and then cut some firewood for an hour. Now I'm all toasty!

[krave]

I did, got my van stuck on the last job and had to leave it there :-(

[Tosh]

It looks like the cold weather is here for a bit longer:

I cleaned the chippie across town and left it at that.  I was meant to do it Wednesday or Thursday otherwise I wouldn't even have done that much.  The cleaning wasn't the problem (once it climbed above zero).  It was the drive to get to work that I didn't fancy.

My pipes were frozen and, like a dork, i'd forgotten to fill up last night, so I had to mess around for hours unfreezing everything. I got out at 1pm and cleaned till 4 - just 4 large houses. It was mighty cold and the water was freezing on the glass at one place. I had 4 more to do today, so that's down for tomorrow now.

I've got the eleccy greenhouse heater in the van, 500l of pure water and have brought my poles and hoses inside. I've already wrapped all the pipes, filers and RO in foil covered bubble wrap (it was only the connectors and pipes outside that froze solid last night), so i'm hoping I can make a leisurely 10am start and be home by midday-ish. Just hope it's not too cold to clean - washing windows with slush doesn't inspire confidence in the custy!
