Not a bad day today all in all.

Probably below average amount of letters and flats for a wednesday, not too many packets either.

Done a row of a mates duty for a tenner and was still in the house by 1pm.

Nice work if you can get it. :nana

Good day Monday, Tuesday. Bit heavier Wednesday and busier today due to the Tescos club card stuff. Not too many packets. Light drizzle but warm.

Quite heavy today, they seem to push everything through on a Friday :roll: Been on a rural duty all week only took 4.5 hrs to complete today! Also tripped up and bruised my knees and cut my hand on a poxy letterbox :cry
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

I've always been accident prone, before I went into the 'Room of Doom' I held the record for most AOD's in 1 year at my office :Very Happy I think I daydream to much :crazy:

On the busy side today. Plenty of DSA, but the main thing was United Utilities which filled many of the gaps. 1 recorded and got rid of everything. Dry but not bright.

terrible - stomach doing somersaults all day after suffering sickness and "runs" yesterday. However, Lineo was a diamond when I went in he said he would cover some of the round :Applause :Applause . Still could not make more than about 30 minutes with a visit so the help was a god send.
