Crap, would have been right on our time without lapsing which we could have done without on a scorching day.

Finished bang on time after a row was taken off me. Several did the same as it seems they have people spare. Quite hot and sticky today and looks the same for tomorrow. No D2Ds so prepping should be easy this week.

Despite mail volumes being down today we had a high number of tracked, signed for and specials. I had about 15 to 20. Something must be working as I've noticed a steep increase of such items. Very hot and humid today.

Nightmare day :arrrghhh

Crashed 2 vans (we only have 2 at our office) in the space of 5 minutes :sad:

Reversing in to the yard in mine, caught the wing mirror on the gate post and smashed the glass :sad:

Moving the 2nd office van, dragged it down the side of a wall and put a 6 inch groove in the bottom of the door :sad:

Could be on for "erica"? :sad:

Don't know about anyone else but I've discovered a few cheap Chinese sites and have went from ordering zero to 5 things over the last month for myself and expect t continue buying quite a lot of things from it now as dirt cheap albeit few of the things are copies!
