Yer we had NT mags AND toolstation today and yesterday. The mail is light still (as in spread thin) but what we do have is huge, heavy, too wide for letterboxes and thick. :crazy:

Another s**t day. Out late, 2 bags on most of the loops. We've had hardly any flats all week and they all turned up today plus water bills. 3 loops(6 bags) returned to the office. Now been signed off by my GP as ATOS report not being adhered to causing more injury to 'the knee'.
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
