not bad again. old vauxhall big ears has been replaced by brand new bipper. it's nice to drive, altho not that much room in the back. enjoyed the packet run. i like bringing the flowers to all the nannas. makes a nice change from delivering bills and shite.

Tell your DIM that you can't complete, next time you think you'll go over, otherwise, that won't be the last half hour you do for free.

Worse sat in a long while.
Had 7 mech trays inc bills which we had to throw off and take where we were going :sad: Ended up leaving just 23 bills in the frame which shows the high call rate which we have to deal with on a Sat.

Ended up with 8 bags worth, loads of packets and parcels inc a total of 15 things to get signed for. Took 4.30mins from office and i was knacked. Not a good end to the week :sad:

If this is the future for sat,s then god help us all :shock:
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

Friday, a nightmare with council tax bills. Only had the 1 day to do them in, for some reason (brownie points with their masters?) told its cos they were delayed at the printers (lie detector goes off) went in an hour early paid overtime, struggled with all the extra and to complete my d2d. Booked a good bit docket.

Saturday, dunno why, just cos the working day starts 2.5 hours earlier that we get out relatively so late. Went in on time, half my frame was prepped, guy prepping was going to walk off but managed to get him to give me a hand finishing it.
Out later than most and finished a good while past my time.

Looking forward to next weeks walk in comparison with the one ive just done, as long as the frame is up when i walk in it should be plain sailing.

So the drive to cut down on overtime hasnt really worked this week.
