I'm just starting out. Wrong time of year I guess. Do you all make sure you're finished for the day by 5pm or have you got any tips for working a bit later?

Flask and an apple?....where will you get your energy from?. I need a big breakfast then thick peanut butter butties, choccie biccies and banana to keep going, plus treats from custies.

You cant do windows once It falls dark although you are bound to get caught out on a few occasions. I think tomorrow, 4.45 will be stumps up time and once we get into mid/ late november then 4.00 is the latest for working. You tend to fall further and further behind with your round!

I agree natty...but surely you cant survive on just an apple whilst you are working....particularly in winter when the body is crying out for food.

 

[Natty1972]

You can't work later, once the light goes, that's it. I work 8:30 till 4:30 all year, so that covers me. The darkest days are around Christmas anyway.

 

[Natty1972]

M8 by Xmas I'm finishing at 3.30 pm . If it's really cloudy it could be 3 pm

 

[norm]

Tried it today ..... By 2 pm I was starving two apples and a butty tomorrow

Two rounds of toast for brekkie. Two sarnies, bag of crisps and a picnic bar got me through. I don't eat much in the day. I have gone all day without touching me lunch pack before now A smoke and a cuppa usually do me /emoticons/smile.png
