Storm it was the same at my gaff :sad:

Shed loads of extra thick Saga, MM's, Railway holiday, Studio and the list went on. Packets were very light although the drop bag was so full of mags i had to break it down to 1/3 before i could lift it.

Out at 9am and finished at 13.30. :neutral:

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

There's a good few yorks of magazines at our place that are waiting to be sorted. But they don't have enough on sorting in the morning so they're sending them out in drips and drabs. Consequently, today was extraordinarily light. I had five attendance calls for my entire walk and was done ridiculously early. Others, who didn't even try to drag their walk out, were seen heading home before the bell tolled for noon.

Xmas cards and the usual catalogues. Hardly any packets which is just as well. Very windy and I heard we are in for a bit of a battering, weather wise.

Hardly any packets or mail, But as others have said, absolutely battered with catalogues. Luckily we can stream them over three days. Even so, the bags were as heavy as anyone can remember. And the poxy D2Ds are back

Will probably get deluged with packets and mail tomorrow? Plus the yorks of catalogues remaining :cry

Was out of the office in less than an hour after the first letter went in the frame. Cleared the catalogues and nearly all the D2Ds. Has almost made up for a horrible December

Well today i think we broke the back of the flats and at last the office is clear. More packets than normal but not to a level we cant handle.

Finished at 13.15. The firms were going home at 11am, thats the life :Very Happy

Hoping for a much lighter day on Sat.
