I'm nearly at the end of my second week, I've got tomorrow off and then back in on Saturday.
I've been told that I'll be doing the same walk for the next 5 weeks. So far it's been great. I started this walk on Monday and it took a while to find some of the addresses but we managed to finish on time with some help from my partner. Tuesday we finished early. Wednesday was very busy with loads of parcels and some d2d's, we finished about 1/2 an hour late and today we finished on time.
I've been putting the last batch of mail in the frame, sorting the parcels and tying up and putting the loops in bags.
I still haven't had any major pains but my back does feel a bit tight at night.
It's taking time to get up to speed and my partner has been helping me out plus the weather has been fantastic. I've also got my starters uniform.
All in all I'd say that I'm really enjoying so far.

I wore a £10 pair of Aldi trousers, a grey T-shirt and a thick black jumper. I also wore some karrimore trainers. RM gave me a temporary high vis vest.
I also carry a thin waterproof jacket and gloves in my bag.
