Don’t stress yourself out. Cut off and finish on time.

Doesn't it get quieter significantly after new year?

We were also very busy today.... especially packets.

Must admit it was quite enjoyable watching all the ones who are on cushy walks do a bit of proper work the same as the rest of us have to do every day...

Judging by the amount of traffic on the roads locally it's not half term all around the country

Wait until a General Election gets announced (chances are however it won't get voted through tonight). Two or three leaflets each from the main parties?

and if one occurs in December, chances are that your local MC won't be able to count any of the postings for any of the DOs are chances are they won't have the room to do so and not have the staff to spare

Slightly off topic.

There was a lassie at our place who had a really cushy walk, would always be the last out of the office and always one of the first back in...usually about 2pm (we finish at 3pm), always pissing about talking to her mates in the DO. My mate did her duty one Saturday and said he wasn't running around, took a break...finished at 11.50am.

They sent him back out on another duty.

Surprised that the DOM hasn't looked into permanently lapsing her duty if she's finishing that early. Is there a duty that backs onto the area covered by her duty which goes over a lot that could have some of it's DPs taken off it and added to her duty?
