Would not have been quite as busy, but for more election material coming in to the office today. More Liebour and Lib Dem leaflets, the 3rd lot from both parties in about a week. 9 recorded deliveries, and everything else delivered.

Would have been a good day if there had been no election material and studio/ace catalogues booked another 1/2hr OT again. I hope my Dom has not got used to this 30mins OT as i'll be back to cutting off everyday from tomorrow until he has paid me my OT from 2 weeks ago I still have not got. At least we got a tidy bonus tomorrow (mind you we have had to work hard to get it so in that senario its not actually much after all).

Delivery wise not that bad at all however 2nd bags arrived 1 hour late - if they try and wiggle out of that OT I'll go Postal on their asses.

Did'nt think I was going to finish today because of the heat, luckily I took a litre of water out with me which helped, time to get to the supermarket and get myself some sun block. Hopefully won't be out too long tomorrow.
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
