Absolute mare. Worst day since Christmas. Millions of flats, never seen so many. Bulk mailing to nearly every house and did ALL Sky mags. Strangely not bad for packets, only two signed for. Poured for the whole 4 1/4 hours of my walk. Two hours overtime.Late home, late for the school run.

Loads of parcels today, the walk were'nt too bad, went about 5 mins over. At least it was dry but blowing a gale and the sun came out eventually. Had to go in the Crown Office on the way home 31 people queuing in front of me :arrrghhh did'nt get home till nearly 4 because of that :sad: .
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

Heavy 1 today. Loads of flats. ALL the Sky mags were sorted up in one go. Plenty of those tiny boxes from Tescos. Rained all day from before I got up until just before I finished, around 3ish.

i know that's what you should really do, but it's so much grief, they won't just accept it when you say you don't want to work past your time, which they should. there should be no argument. so i end up thinking, oh well, it's a few more quid in the bank. or even, what i'm going to do this time is have a lie in on tuesday and get the hours back that way.

The worse Sat in ages :sad: Had sky mags to finish and some black plastic flats (finance) which really bulked it out. Rained all the way round and at one point it was like a moonson for nearly 20 mins so i had to stop and let it ease. Did not get back to 1pm and the office all locked up :sad:

Finished just in time on Saturday, didn't do too badly for packets, which helped. Monday was loaded with packets. Getting used to throwing off the walk sequenced boxes. For those not getting them yet, take a hand full from the tipped box, at random. Don't try to take it from the beginning and work through the box. This is tiring and puts strain on your arms and neck. Best to take some from a random point and work with that.

Tiring I had to read a document and frankly got very confused about the picture on the back of it that had Billy in underwear, shaking Higsons hand (I hope) and some guy with a banner in the back saying Log onto RMC, and he wasn't watching EastEnders either.

I too have had a tiring day. I have wasted my day off searching RMC for a report of the Southampton v Huddersfield game to no avail.
