What a strange day only 40-50% of drop points but heavy - really fat catalogues to blame and yes we got Sky - tomorrow may just be a busy one.

Started early about 9am and done before dinner.

My day off, and finally caught up with and tipped my postie - just a shame he works in an office with weak union support, had a chat with him and it seems like they are getting shafted by the screws at every turn ( what a surprise

). Back to the Fun Factory tomorrow, I s'pose

Rammed with Sky, holiday stuff and Mailsort galore. Finished bang on time and got very very wet.

Heavy but quietish today - SAGA and Catalogues and a local rag, once again up the ying yang, also 3 bundles of Virgin Bills, but otherwise not to bad - let us out 30 minutes early even though we were ready to go out 1 hour 10 minutes early. IMO I don't think they have heard of flexibility to benefit us just to benefit them.

Lot of mail and heavy day in last few days, but lower percentage and finished before 1.15pm and still have enough time to go home and have a cuppa and breakfast.

I wish everyday is like this but less fat catalogue.

It wasn't too bad - loads of sagas, but while we were told to clear them, we were given the option of taking two days to do the oversized ) Viking? ) catalogues......just a shame I didn't have any

I had about 12 - 15 sagas in my first 2 pouches & 7 of them in my first bundle ( retirement flats ), but after that the rest of my walk was pleasently light, even with all the other crap we had....I'm even feeling tomorrow should be reasonable as well! ( I bet I'll regret those words )

My day was brilliant. Got out of bed at 7.00am, cup of coffee, watched news, another cup of coffee, cranked my heating up another few degrees. Unfortunately, that's the first 3 days of my 2 weeks holiday gone. Somehow I don't think all the cr*p will be out of the way by the time I get back. Just goes to show how bad the job has got when you're counting the days till your day off, never mind your next holiday.

Still I'm

Blimey, we were drowning under a sea of crap in our office today. Catologues, gym rubbish, estate agent rubbish, more crappy catalogues, sainsburys
rubbish, Tesco rubbish, Boots rubbish, holiday brochures, even more crappy catalogues, and last but not least, SCREW FECKIN' FIX. Total weight out
on delivery, just under 130kg.
Roll on my retirement, just another 20yrs to go, give or take.
