I wish i could afford to
The trouble you still have to do the full delivery and thats the part that whacks me out the 4 hours slogging on the round. Also our partimers nearly always book 45min to an hour over as their rounds arent fully prepped when they get in.
I dont think its all its cracked up to be unless you can job share and work something like Mon-Wed

Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

Re: DROPPING TO PART TIME
As you say it might be worth dropping to part time if you could do 2 or 3 days a week. But it's the same old 5 days on delivery with rotating rest days - so to my mind you gain nothing and end up £100 or so down. Can't see the benefit to be honestkrussel wrote:I wish i could afford to![]()

Re: DROPPING TO PART TIME
Its something i would like to do in the future (if there is one with RM). When the mortgage is paid off i would consider a drop in life style and spending for the sake of preserving my health.
