Same here. Mon/Tues nothing. Today, 3 packet bags each for mine and my partner walk plus 20-odd tracked and specials. We finished bang on time, with numb fingers into the bargain it was so cold. Roll on the next couple of weeks :chuckle

Well the letters got through ok but a lorry full of packets broke down on the way from the mail centre :shock:

So did not have much to take out AGAIN. Going to be a total bastard in the morning and expecting to go well over. :cry

However off the weekend :dance

Love that we already can't cope, for me it was another cut off day for me (that's 4 in a row :nana ).

It's bad that everyday I fill a york with just packets but of course mail is down :wink:

Pretty much as above. Had an extra 3 or 4 bags dropped off today, parcels were through the roof. Brought back 21, usually it's about 6-8

Had the joy of school traffic to dodge as well coming back as well as fading light. Tomorrow more of the same I'm guessing

Why?? Unless you're in desperate need for the OT just cut off, let your DOM manage the extra work.
