Horrible day today. Credit union letters for every house, several for a lot of houses, as well as new electricity cards. 7 trays of mail to prep, not out until 10, finished at 4:30. :arrrghhh

Also my line manager had the cheek to ask me to take more mail from another duty. I told him to walk away before I handed back some of my own round...

Bloody nightmare today, I have been stuck on a new round each day this week, and today was horrible, walk not prepped, didn't get out until 12.45pm, loads of packets, miss sorts, taking ages to find streets (first time on the round), and I was stupid enough to say I would do lapsing !!. Didn't finish until 5.30 pm, and I didnt have a torch either so a lot of squinting. Oh well think of the extra money for christmas, :Boo hoo!
