Average day except for packets which were on the light side, for me at least. Hot and sunny all day and I'm knackered.

I have to deliver to a catholic church and the hall is hired out to a nursery and has done for many years,
couple of days ago one of the administrators from the church said I must not deliver letters to the nursery, but it has always been two delivery points,

Today the administrator said to me I told you not to deliver I said that there has always been two delivery points and I have to deliver as Royal mail policy, he said you can't by this time the nursery manager came out and a full scale disagreement went on, OMG you cannot belive the administrator guy(church) can be so obnoxious about a few letters, :sad: I said you need to sort it out between you and i will carry on delivering the mail as per Royal mails policy.

Still I am off for 3 weeks after this saturday :nana

You'd think the Catholic church would not want to bring up anything to do with children :nervous

Mega heavy day today, all the mail has caught up after the recent spell of foggy weather and lack of mail planes.
Glorious sunshine all day, got a tan :cool

Better day mail wise but totally whacked out due to picking up step daughter from prom night which meant about 3 hours sleep :Boo hoo!

Rained all morning non stop drenching all the way round. Suns out now typical :roll:

It's nice to see the reduction in mail..............must be something to do with the weather but the packets have been through the roof recently (10 tracked and 5 specials today alone :roll: ).

Plus tomorrow there is a bulk posting due in.................I suppose my manager is going to have to get his walking boots on :Very Happy

It was actually not too heavy for a Friday. Packets were below average although I had 8 recorded items in total. Rained almost constantly apart from about 20 minutes and got absolutely drenched. :sad:

Yes, going through a similar thing in our office. Bonus for me this week is no D2Ds. In fact there's a few who haven't got any. Warm and overcast today, apart from a few drops early on it stayed resonably dry.

Pissed down all day....again.
Got to my first delivery point and really felt like giving it a miss....the whole thing not the first delivery.
Not felt like that in a long time.
Need a holiday. :nervous
good times, bad times you know I've had my share
