Loads of letters, loads of packets, it hasn't let up for weeks now and it seems to be getting worse.

Really really quiet, something is going badly wrong, I have never ever finished a round as early as today. I am not complaining but there must be a back log of mail some where and a mountain of parcels. :roll:

Light day here, usual Tuesday really. Last Wednesday was busy but then it settled down again so tomorrow will probably be a stinker :shock:

So what occurs upstream and when, that makes Tuesday a light day traditionally? And btw mine was REALLY light today too.

Stupidly light here too, even for a Tuesday- quite a few back at midday. Christmas pressure has been a breeze so far. Bet we get hammered tomorrow :crazy:

I agree with everybody, it was light today...........I got finished right at my finish time :nervous which is the first time in 2 weeks that I've had any chance of that.

But I do expect a deluge tomorrow..............especially because of the trouble that happening over here, people aren't out shopping but they would go online for more.

Not much in the way of letters but loads of packets. Very cold, and slippy underfoot.

point taken, using Firefox with Ubuntu, spell check doesn’t work till you click the words and then red wavy lines appear under most of my words.
