Just over 3 and a half hours, if you count pouching off. Even less packets than Saturday. Probably be busy tomorrow.... which is a shame really, cos I off, and going out to sink a few with an old workmate. :chuckle

Persistent rain today, felt a bit odd. It's also getting cold, dark and dreary. I'm not sure if that's just the weather. My day was light, as is the way on Mondays. Unfortunately, this again means there will be hell to pay on at least two of the upcoming days.

If I told you how bad my day was TBT would have to go and buy a green refill.

More 'orrible weather. Nowhere near enough packets to off-set the feeling of unease that tomorrow shall be a day from hell. Quite a few recordeds for a tuesday - eight in all. Mail volume was light which didn't surprise me at all.

Pretty bad day, but the rain favoured me somewhat in that it never moved beyond medium strength drizzle.

Horrendous. :crazy: Heavy catalogues and brochures everywhere. 4 walk sequenced boxes instead of the usual 3. About 4 boxes of flats. 9 bags.
