Busy here. 3 election leaflets at once, a nice £60 before tax for doing nothing extra aside from throw them off. Tuesday was very light but back to normal today. People may forget that last week due to the bank hol. Monday work would've been heavier on the remaining days so may seem less this week.
P.S. We are due a sunny warm weekend, so in my limited experience this should mean less packets and mail next week as people get out and don't sit by their PC's.... :shhhhh

Dropped Lapsing (as per) & left the large packets.

Had really quiet Tuesday and was back on time despite us both being part time and prepping all out frame. Today we went over despite dropping some packets and have so much election stuff. is it any wonder though when we both start at half 8 and only half a box of meck was in and one pair were tying up.....

Ridiculously heavy. Bags like boulders, election shite, catalogues, a load of flats and so many packets we had to leave most of the big uns.

Rural duty.
Letters - average.
Flats - light.
Packets - sorry parcels - off the scale!

Just me though. Other duties fairly average.

Never mind, off tomorrow. A pint or several of restorative liquid should see me all right. :nana
