When you say your out just after 7am dont you have to wait for a sat missort run ??? Ours dont come in to about 8am so no chance of getting out early. :sad: :sad:
What's a missort run ? :whistle Is that the second delivery we have every morning? If so , that lands about 6am.
Strange week last week, worked my day off so Mon - Thur was really quiet not been that easy for well over a year.

Not too bad today, no Sky mags yet. Out at 8.30 back by 11.45. My knee has been swollen the past couple of days so I took it easy, can't take time off to rest it. Not back now till Tuesday, off to see Simpson Millar on Monday about my AOD.
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

Not as bad as the last couple of weeks, but bad enough for a Saturday. Packets were down so I guess they may arrive Monday. Woke this morning to find it had snowed again so am hoping that we don't get any more.

:Very Happy
Missort run= We have a local missort run which one of our drivers performs and returns to our office by around 9am weekdays and 8-815am sats. Normally i only get a few items but you have to wait for it before you go out. :sad:

worse than I thought then - they are bound to do a reprint and send them again.

A good day for a Monday. Packets were even less than Saturday, which made a nice change. Still had a bit of snow left over from Late Saturday night so I hope we don't get more.

I delivered mine as addressed so if they weren't for those people they just gave them back (the dozen or so that didn't have any number on them just got endorsed and sent straight back).

I f******* hate caravans :mad :mad

Loads of mags today, sky, gardening, caravan(wrongly addressed) etc and to top it all off I locked myself out of the van :oops:

And I would like to thank Dingo for making me laugh with the quote 'the biggest payrise in history', that has had me chuckling all day :left:

Looked like a nice easy Monday until I spotted my three trays of flats, 5 specials and 9 recorded, then I realised it was Tuesday and it should have been lighter still :sad:
