Hi Mark As long as you enjoyed yourself even though you must have had sore head.

Definitely had a sore head Fish4fun, I think that hangover lasted about 3 days !!

Never mind though.

How's the weather up Bonny Scotland at the minute - we are due a mini heatwave by all accounts this week - (not holding my breath!!).

hi mark weather is shocking it is like october up here with the cloudy weather and rain we have had lately..

Were not much better here at the moment! It wouldnt really matter if the weather was great here anyway, as my van is of the road , im getting my gearbox sorted out! Ive had a few problems with my van since i bought it in November. Ive warned the Citroen people, that if i breakdown again, then im demanding a new vehicle. They never answered me, they just gave a nervous little laugh!

Hi Both,

Come nice here in Yorkshire, weekend apparently going to be ok too, (but not holding my breath).

Sounds like fun you're having JD with the Van, nothing more frustrating than a car/van that is constantly causing problems !!

Hope you get it sorted, otherwise those Citroen people are going to have their work cut out !!

Better weather here today the weather looks ok down south,dont think i will buy a van made by citroen either jd,sounds like most vans have problems with their gear boxes,hope you get it fixed jd.

Got van back yesterday fellas, fingers crossed thats the end of it. Back to work as normal on Monday. Although the weather is supposed to be wet again here on Monday. I take the forecast with a pinch of salt though these days, as they get it so wrong, so often.

usually if its wet in ireland it usually makes its way over to scotland.

Weather still bad here in east kilbride (near glasgow)worst and wettest august i can remember and i have been window cleaning over 25 years now,think i will have to move away down south to find the better weather.

Weather over the Bank Holiday not brilliant up North, it was raining one minute, not so bad the other - couldn't really do anything but never mind.

Typical today though, back to work - the Sun is shining and not a cloud in the sky !!

Have you guys noticed how quickly it's getting dark at night now?? Not long now before the C word - can taste the Turkey and all the trimmings already !!

On tenterhooks at the moment also as my wife is due to give birth in about 2/3 weeks time - will keep you posted as to how it progresses !!

Have you Fish4fun/JD got any kiddies ??

hi mark all my kiddies are now in their twenties and they are all females!!!.
I was the only male in this house mind you my springer spaniel is a boy phew!!
All the girls have now left the building...bliss...

No kids, im stress free thankfully. Lots of nephews & nieces though, but i can give them back to their mum when it suits. The dark nights are rolling in alright, although i dont really mind the winter nights, its always nice to see a different season. I know we have a lot of rain, just like you fellas in Scotland, but i think we have the best climate in the world. I always get a roll of the eyes from people, when i say that.....

If we had it to warm there would be a lot of moaning and complaining,if we had less rain which seems to fall in august in scotland.
Global warming who are these scientists kidding...

Houseful of woman - ouch, mind you, I have a little girl at the moment!!

Don't know what we are having this time around, booked in for hospital though on 25th September so not long now.

Wait JD til you can't give them back - that's when it gets manic !!

I don't mind our weather, apart from the snow - that's the only type of weather I really don't like - not bothered by anything else - quite like the rain in a weird sort of way !!

Have had some decent weather here in the glasgow area this month,very mild weather over the last fortnight so mild that i have been back to wearing a t-shirt and discarding the sweatshirt.
What is it like in ireland jd.

Today was lovely fish4fun. But Monday and Tuesday past were seriously wet! Im now playing catch up again!

Unsettled weather for week ahead just caught up with my workbut just when i get back upto date the weather changes again.

Ye cant beat a nice hot toddy mark. Im very partial to the scotch whiskies though, especially Glenmorangie. Now thats a fine whiskey.....

After a good october the weather has went downhill what a start to november.

Been raining on and off since Monday here in Huddersfield !!

Absolutely lousy, never mind, could be worse - we could have snow !!

now now mark dont tempt fate..

This is depressing! Rain, rain, rain! No work getting done!

I got out on wednesday for 4 hours and thursday for 5 hours worse week for a long time.

I agree, it seems everybody everywhere is getting terrible weather! I suppose its the changing of the seasons! Its really depressing.......

Anybody getting out to work!!the weather has been really cold here for 3 weeks now.
Forecast is more of the same for another week at least.
How is it in northern ireland jd.

Hi Fish4fun,

Weather not too good down in Huddersfield, last week the temperatures were dropping to minus 10, had snow again yesterday (Sunday), snowing again today, buses cancelled and no gritters have been out at all so conditions on the roads a bit of a nightmare.

I take it you've wrote the last couple of weeks off?

Hi JD/Fish4Fun,

You guys had anymore snow, had more down here in sunny Huddersfield !!

Hi mark more snow here in east kilbride thats 2 falls of snow this week already!!
Was very cold today temp stayed at freezing all day.

Window cleaning worthy weather here fellas, catching up on plenty of work. Just giving myself another wee coffee break, then its back to the grindstone

Winter is back again as i type this heavy snow is falling in east kilbride,did not get any work done today and tuesday looks worse.nooooooo...
