depeds what you mean by too bad really.

If it's rain n wind then there is always something you can clean. I have a few choice places that I can clean as the home owners are never there in the day and they have never complained - even though I cleaned in torrential rain etc.

If you mean everything is frozen so work is impossible then it's under the cover with a cuppa (translated as "you look after the 5 month old little boy as you are home whilst I get some housework done) :-)

I do the best i can do,

I don't work in the rain but if it's on/off, i'l sit in the van and jump out when it's stops.

some days been, raining all day but stopped at 3pm say i'l still usually go out and do a couple of houses.

Depends how good or bad my earnings are that week.

will be working a lot more saturdays last year lost 60 days work this year.

that includes bad weather days/half days, bank hols, personal hols 3days only :'(, lost 12 days due to things keep going wrong on van.
