I only started it at my first DP and finished it at my final DP (and paused it during my break) so that doesn't include the walking around the office in the morning.
I used it again today and the figures worked out as -
Time : 5:22.59
Distance (m) : 120930.8
Speed (km/h) : 4.3
Steps : 20731

But I did notice that it also gave me a total distance travelled which was over 20km :shock:

In at start time, clocked that my frame wasnt prepped again, went out with the lapsing, came back, frame still wasnt prepped for the umpteenth time since this debacle of a new system was started. Finished my d2d and polling cards, went over by 30 mins.

A really busy Sat and for some reason we got a 2nd batch of 2nd class polling cards.

It started to kick off as we did not get paid for the last lot but this time we were quickly told to count them as we will be paid 3p each. Also we got paid for the postal voting letters as well and the last lot we did the other week. :Very Happy

This lot should come to an extra £62 so that cheered me and everybody up :dance

Fantastic weather not a clould (or plane come to that) in the sky.

Finished late due to prepping poll cards but i dont mind so much if i am being well paid. :Very Happy

easiest week in years. probably only worked 34 of 40 hours, including lapsing. combination of sunshine and exercise, plus the feeling of getting away with it, has made me very happy, despite my sore feet. took half the walk out with me in the car today, just to see the difference. so much easier working from a vehicle. bring on the cdvs!

In, out with lapsing, back to office, frame prepped except for the packets so an improvement there. 3 d2d and wait for it....3 party political leaflets, these to be done in 3 days. Did me first bag with all 6 leaflets, it was a right pain in the arse trying to juggle all six so next bag i did 3 political party leaflets and 1 d2d which was much easier. Went a bit over my time but i managed to get at least 2/3rds of the political bumpf and about 1/3rd of the d2d done. Not a bad start to the week.

Really light today, apart from packets. Was ready to go out by 8.15 but they held us back until 9.30. Sky mags in already and some were delivered.
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

A re-run of yesterday, frame prepped apart from packets, this was due to prepper 'not knowing how i like my packets done' and nothing to do with the fact he was ready to leave as i walked in at my start time. Returned from lapsing, sorted packets, redirected, bundled, bagged. Out dead on time, finished my 3 election leaflets, did some more of my 3 d2ds, finished dead on time. At this rate i'll be rid of the last of my d2d by tomorrow.
