Why do one lot each day, just do what you're supposed to do, don't forget it'll take more time setting in your D2Ds, then if your out late you won't have the time to do lapsing so then it's up to managment to do what they're paid to do and manage, simples .

I'd just do 1/6th a day, if you go over then leave it for the manager, as said its his job.

The weight of 6 items can be a joke. There is a sheet that the phg's (ex) get to tick off when the d2d arrive and that shows the total weight of the contracts. Mine will reg hit 60-70kg. :sad:
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

They are considered to be as important as live mail. How much they weigh is completely irrelevant. :cuppa

Not when you have to carry 6 of the buggers and the guy working next to you only has 2. :Boo hoo!

You are lucky to get such light D2D. In my area we have three monthly magazines which are in the top weight band (80-100g) which means that contract alone is 50-60kg and total weight of D2D can be over 200kg :Boo hoo!
