Is it right though, that there are normally walks available in my office but they are going to people on overtime
and then im being sent elsewhere?

Should the spares be put on a walk first? Then if there's any left afterwards, put them on overtime.
I want to have a moan about this to my manager but i know my contract says i may have to work in other offices
so im not sure if i can really argue.

It may be logical to us but it makes sense to the Area Manger. Your DOM's probably been told that he's GOT to send someone to help out at this other office. This is normally due to them being short staffed. We all tend to just see our own little world, but the Area Managers have obviously got the bigger picture in mind. I've been to offices which were 6 posties short in an office of about 20! It's nothing Personal, you're just an easy target, being part time and not having your own duty. If you don't want to go just use the worse case scenario option. I once traveled to a nearby office, prepped the duty, including the Households and all the mail left from the day before (it had been failed). I then told the DOM by the time I'd taken my Meal Relief and traveled back my contracted hours would be finished. "No thanks can't do any overtime I need to pick the kids up"! I wasn't asked to go back to that office....So it's basically how you want to work it. If you don't kick up a fuss and make it easy for them you can probably look forward to quite a bit of traveling about!
