Same old same old, normal amount of packets, normal amount of mail for a Monday. I am still waiting for the tons of Christmas packets and mail that I was told to expect. Finished 2.30 pm. :Very Happy

Ridiculously easy day. I finished nearly an hour early as did most others.
I usually have 5 bags dropped off, today just 1! I got my first 4 mail bags into the pouch I took out and all the parcels in my panniers.

Where was all the letters and cards? Even the packets were lighter than they have been for the last 2 weeks.

I reckon tomorrow will be an absolute nightmare, I'm off though so not my problem!

Bad bad day today...........well, we got a bulk mailing for nearly every house so that held me back (not me actually :wink: ) but the packets weren't too bad, only 3 bags and a handful of bulks but there was a lot of signed fors :roll:

Not quite as bad as I thought it would be yesterday, but cold and wet. Day off today.

Relatively light due to MC flipping from it's normal plan to it's clearance plan during the night.
Promises to be a bastard tomorrow as we play catch up.

Packets.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Typical Wednesday, began work with a ton of letters and flats that the full timer who is meant to prep my walk could not be bothered to do; only 3/4 sack full of packets, though. Anyway finished 40 minutes overtime, so add my break and thats an hour docket :confused

Loads of everything today, had 2 loops taken off us and we only just finished on time. Cold and blowing a gale, not looking forward to tomorrow, rain forecast :roll:
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
