Snow and lots of it up here on Tyneside, BT bills and a few packets.

Slow going though, was soaked by the time I got in, and I missed Loose Women.

busy as fook
managers have ramped up the size for foot postie packets.so got beasted on packets plus mail
thankfully i finished my D2D's yesterday.
we had a city wide resign but have now been told its been put on hold indefinitly for our office
we have 12 leaving but only 2 coming in so they are flapping.guys who were leaving are pissed
drivers are getting monitored heavily with managers watching them from cars

pegasus results and proposed walks were put out today
3.5/4.5 hour versions
now the pressure is on.being told if we dont agree to one it will go to executive action and there will be no office resign
also told all walks "will be made part time and nobody will hold a duty"
for me its like meh.pegasus came back originally with my duty @ 3.25 so if they want to add 5 minutes then so be it.
if it comes back they want to add more then i will be querying where they magiced more up from

most seem resolved to disregard whatevers offered and let them push through under EA if need be

as you can see its all fun and games

Valentines day saturday :Very Happy :Very Happy so a fair bit of 2nd class meter post got left :nana which meant it was lighter than normal, i think they were so worried about any break offs. Dispite this i was surprised to find i still went 20 mins over :sad: I think it down to having 100% detached houses.

Hardly any cards today, which I thought was strange. Mainly DSA and flats. Not bad for packets and only 1 recorded delivery. Cool day with little sun, but dry.
