I was thinking the same thing, mail levels must be falling!

I wonder if the mail traffic figures that are collated at the Mail Centers back this up? :Boo hoo!

Effing cold, wet, cold and wet :crazy: The weather went from sunny to sleet to snow to rain then just back to the beginning again so I spent the whole day freezing Image

Anyway, the mail wasn't too bad so I got finished just about on time but it took me about an hour to thaw out.

The week hasn't been too bad, except for today which was about the usual finish time around lunchtime. Packets were not too bad for most of the week.

I used a kill off sticker for a 'No Access' today for the first time. Do you just check the box, or do you add an explanation, ie building work?

Just a tick in the box,along with the date,your initials and security badge number is enough :Very Happy if you want to write an explanation feel free as long as it does not cover a return address.

For the regulars with own walks.

Do you think the workload had dropped and get easier since New Year ? I mean numbers of posts.

Another light day, all of my bus were finished by 12.30. Virtually no DSA stuff today, mainly items with STAMPS on :shock:
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

Goning through a quieter spell in my office. Hardly any packets. Cleared the last,(for now) of my National Trust mags today.

The packets in my office are just the same but I've notice a slight drop off in mail (only taking out 7 bags as opposed to the 10 it was) :d'oh!

Wonderful, but that may be down to the fact that I am on holiday this week and have just got up.
