Never bothered take the trailer or any machines out. Sat in the van for 6 hours, more kernackered than if I'd done a days graft. Especially the heaters in the van, head was nodding every few minutes.

Didn't even bother today. What a load of crap and it's not even close to winter yet. *shudder*

I don`t know when they ever get time to play the bloody game with our summers.
I bet that Brazilian who signed for City is looking out of his Hotel window and thinking "where the F&%* have they sent me"

Blimey Sean - not good mate.
We worked late on Thursday and overlaid Friday's driveway - bloody glad we did as we'd never have done it yesterday.
