Really really heavy today with lots of cut-offs and lots of o/t. Manager phoning around to see if people would come in on their day off (not much response there)

We were told that election mat. had to be out by wednesday (yesterday) have'nt started yet as no time to prep it.

Still thank goodness mail volumes ar falling and our new 4.5hr duties are working.

Terrible day today, really heavy. The conservative leaflets were in today, my sixth party, so made a start. Absolute chaos in the office.

We found out that some had 2 or more per house for these, which should bump up the payment a bit. Day started with a bit of rain which cleared about noon and the sun shone for the rest of the day. Oh and I found out we are getting 4.65p per item for the election leaflets.

Really heavy, had about 12 mech bundles to start off with

loads of Election Postal Vote forms, then had to finish off the normal D2D's, followed by nearly 500 Tory D2D's. At least the sun was shining.

It was heavy again today but I just left what I wouldn't get done in my time

ahhhhhh the joy of them having to pay extra to someone to deliver my cut offs.

Crap day. Heavier than yesterday. Loads of National Trust mags. Cleared most of the remaining election leaflets. Bad for packets too. Weather was terrible most of the day.

Just about the heaviest day since Christmas on my round with 11 satchels of mail and packets and I am knackered - if our mail volumes fall any further we will need a bigger office. Weather was awful and I went over 1:45 which will come off our new non rewarding, non participatory budget scheme

Still, on the bright side, I have a Saturday to look forward to with all my election material and all my National Trust mags already delivered so all I will have to contend with is the usual 3 boxes of DSA and a packet bag the size of the Isle of Wight. Have a good weekend folks - you all deserve it.

Busy day all round. Plenty of packets. 6 recorded items, everything delivered.

Bad Bad day today ........................totally f@cked up as I thought it was a 2.25pm finish when it was a 1.45pm finish so ended up working 20mins o/t. when I would normally ...CUT OFF...

Busy, but not as bad as I thought it would be. Packets were not too bad either. Should make up for it during the week.

Rammed again

Bleeding studio - Christmas is 6 months away why are you sending multiple copies of your catalogues to the same house.

Would have been a very good day but ended up with 8 bags all to their limit in weight.

Poll cards finally came in

so I had to do some of them plus a real s***pile of Studio mags but that said I still finished bang on my time
