I honeslty thought RM was the best job i ever had my first week! :d'oh! I think the problem with the job is their is so much variation to how your day can go. Ive had days where ive finished at 12 and i have had days where i have finished at 6pm :shock: the novelty will wear off very quickly

But hope these sore legs and feet go away soon. tommorrow will be the challenge been put on my own duty for a few weeks taken over from someone thats on the perm sick. shouldnt be to bad as it me mams old estate and no all the streets. already boxing me own frame in and banding up the walks. used the pda for fist time on thursday and friday and found it a dream to use. all i can say to new starters who have never done this job before ask as many questions you may have dont just be shy and book in all overtime you have done im on a 20 hour contract but ive been in from 6.20 to 2pm since wedensday and 5.20 on saturday like i say book all over time in over your contracted hours and dont be frightend find the overtime book and get it done. only problem really ive had boxing in is sorting the loose mail trying to be quick to find the streets but you will soon get the hang of it
