Busy day, as usual (thought volumes were down) Scratching my head a wee bit this morning though. After delivering those nice wee cards to all our customers, you know, the ones that tell them all about the extra deliveries they will have in the lead up to Christmas. Anyway, in comes our manager and announces that we will have to make savings over the Chrismas period. Something does not add up there. I guess that will mean there will not be any of the promised extra deliveries? And we will just have to get on with things with less hours available. Suppose it will all help the management bonus pot?

Quite good for a Monday. Threw off 2 columns of D2Ds before fixing up. Threw another 3 columns of D2Ds off after I fixed up, ready for tomorrow. Finished with about 25 minutes to spare. Got home absolutely soaking wet, been raining pretty much all weekend and is still coming down as I type this. :roll:
