Horrible - rained all bloody day - oh and 5 (five) packet bags (and on a walk with too few pouch drops) - finished off carrying final bag of mail on shoulder with a full pouch bag of undeliverables in the other hand - papier mache everywhere today :crazy:

Loads of flats. Hardly any packets. Were supposed to be off the IPS at 07.15. This changed to 07.45. I saw red and played my joker. First time I've done it, apart from when I've had a hospital appointment. Far too much to do in too short a time. :nana

I don't see why people where home so early, in at 5.30 and finished at 12.40, although I had only 1 bag of packets the amount of flats was surreal (why did they think that Saga magazines had to go out today is beyond me). Plus all the MS3 that the MC decided to throw through really was taking the piss.


Still at least the packets where down (according to the MC they where over the planned volume for this year by 77% which probably means double that :wink: ).
