Back to work and it's not been easy. Absolutely hammered with packets. Hot and humid every day and getting home shattered.

Had about 100 letters from Lloyds TSB. Didn't recognise a single name on the envelopes.

F****** rained on me for about 4 hours today.............soaked, miserable, upset but the worst thing was when I left the office it was a nice day :mad 20 minutes along the road the rain started and just didn't finish until I was within an hour of finishing.

One of the water companies did their usual knobbish thing, where they send letters out to maybe a quarter of the walk (not the knobbish thing), and then send letters out to another quarter of the walk ... that doesn't exist. Either in the present, or the past. You know the thing. Let's say "A" Street runs from numbers 1-28, they're sending them to numbers 1, 7, 12, 15, 21, 24 and 26, then there's another load of letters for number 29, 32, 36, 38, 41, 42 and 47. Hello ... stop wasting your money, water company. I know this is a new estate, but there's no room for those houses. They aren't ever getting built.

Another day hammered with packets. Delivery was easier than I expected. Drizzle on and off most of the day. Just hoping it's not too bad tomorrow.

Big shout out to all the Postmen, working hard, out there on the streets. Also, a shout out to all the old skool Posties who 'know the score' - keep it real.

Hardly any packets. Heavy catalogues and brochures in which bulked the bags and HCT out. Not a bad day but no chance of finishing on time.

Virgin and Sky do this as well :( If I have the power, I would fine the company for everytime they do this.
