Shocking day today... A good 30mins on the sorting frame today despite hardly denting all my mech. Had to finish off yesterdays 'from royal mail' letters... Had to split first street into 2 bags. Next street into a bag then 5 trays of mail and 3 trays of parcels. Managed to finish about 12.30 which is suprisingly good going considering but I must admit I never stopped once.

RED LETTER DAY
1230 
It was a BANGER of a day.
Every bag was split into 2 so I had a total of 12 bags first letter 1000 and last 1400 and I left most of those Red letters in as we have a week to do them and they only came in today.
Bags and weights

2. 11
3. 8

5. 7

7. 5 (a rest

Very bad day today. 22 mech bundles, 6 boxes of letters and flats, 4 packet bags, 20% of D2D's to prep ( 3 d2d's ). Due to the fact I told my manager I wouldn't complete today, I had a casual do half of my delivery. I posted first letter at 10.55 and last letter at 13.15. Took me 2hrs 20mins to do half of my delivery. Got back to office at 13.30. By the time I sorted all my bits and pieces out I was finished for the day.
Out of the last 2 1/2 weeks of doing my duty I have only completed it 4 times out of 12 ( 3 Tuesdays and 1 Saturday ). The other saturday was my day off.
Managers have been saying for months now they want to test my walk but as of yet nothing. Fine by me, I will work my contracted hours and no more.
Roll on Christmas, will only be working my 40hrs.

Run, rabbit run. Dig that hole, forget the sun.
And when at last the work is done. Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one
