We all need somewhere to sound-off sometimes, and often just knowing that other peopls are having the same problems helps a bit. Glad to see you sounding positive again. Winter is always a nightmare for us; Christmas, tax due Jan 31st, accountant's charges, it all adds up when we're not working due to the weather, even in a good year. I plan things like the car and van service whilst I'm quiet, but of course then can't afford them.
Yesterday I was putting off a planting job as the ground was frozen, and there were snow flurries. This afternoon, I was in a t-shirt. My invoicing from November through to doing March's this week is the worst 5 months I've known in nearly 30 years. How do we plan around these conditions?
Gotta love this job......I couldn't imagine doing anything else, but it does get to you sometimes!
Hi Andy, glad things are picking up! We've had a bit of a frustrating week this week with one thing and another but hey ho; try and keep the old chin up. But it does get you down from time to time. It's good to talk as they say :)
