Wow! Everyone in our office chucked them all in on Sat, got rid of over 90% of them today! No way I'm walking up a driveway with just a D2D on Xmas Eve. Heck, that would be demoralising.

Nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be. Still finished late compared to a normal day but it's easing off. Rained a lot .... again.

Easy day really.
Checking posting dates on letters and we seem to be keeping up as had lots of first class posted yesterday.
Packets were all posted this week as well.

All had to wait for a late regi lorry. Ended up with 5 which was ok. Rem a couple of years back on a posh round and had 24 of them Christmas eve. :d'oh!
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..........

Letters light....got weighed down with packets though. Finished 30 mins early.....nothing said when I got back as we had to flex up yesterday.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets
