    I worked all day today and the rain didn't stop all day.... I'm a full day behind still so I'll be working tomorrow.
    If I put a flag on the mower I think that allows you to work all day. I'll hang it on the umbrella which is attached to the mower handle!...And I'll pull the mower behind the tinnie.....

    I've just cancelled this whole week, will move all clients forward(or is that back) 1 week. It is to much hassle
    trying to catch up. Yeah it means its 3 weeks between cuts but what do you do.

    Rule 231(a) applies here mate. You must have a stubby in your hand at all times

    it's unAustralian to work on Australia day that's why Coles,Woolies,BUnnings and all the major shopping centres will be closed
    and Mick i think you might need to change your location listing
    Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
    And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you

    I've had 2 fine days this week- Monday & Thursday.
    Monday I spent at home sorting out BAS/tax. Thursday I decided it was too un-australian to work.
    Maybe this should be in the "I work with an Idiot" thread.

    Raining again today and next week is not looking any better for this area.

    Pretty much the same here Ed. Monday dryish but I had to spend the day not working to take Henry to start Prep. Only there for 1.5 hours then the rest of the day looking after him at home. Same as you yesterday.
    Wednesday arve was dry here till about 5 but again I had to look after Henry while Amanda did whatever she did after she finished work. Makes it hard for a bloke to earn a living.

    just looked at the Elders 28 rain forecast for Sydney and Brisbane and looks like you've got 2 days in the next 28 without a chance of high rainfall
