No large parcels and no specials. Unable to deliver the one tracked item I had. Quite a few gaps today which I didn't expect on a Monday.

Quietest day I can remember for a long time. That's two in a row. I bet we get murdered tomorrow.

Mad busy although strangely NOT as many big parcels as yesterday. Still going round without a jacket on. Not really enough staff on the IPS but there's just too many other jobs to do around the office. I can see real problems in the weeks to come.

Same here, we're severely short staffed so it's going to be a nightmare. Quite a busy day again today, loads of flats but not so many parcels.
