What Next catalogues, not those doorstep ones I hope!?

No they are much thinner than the main catalogue but are still quite heavy.

Horrendous day. Parcels galore, Next catalogues and Thames Water bills for almost every house. I think Friday's are becoming the new Wednesday's. For the past few weeks Friday has been the heaviest day of the week. :crazy:

Not as many packets as I thought there would be. Massive bulk mailing for a new local social networking site. Very damp and cold all day.

I said yesterday we had three days to clear the Next catalogues. This morning a load more arrived :crazy: At least they go through the letterboxes :dance

Rained on and off for most of the delivery, till the last half hour or so when it came down heavy :sad:

I'm trying to break in some new trainers, so wear them so far round then change into my old ones. Unfortunately the old ones let in water so had to keep the new ones on all the way round :mad

'at least they go through the letterbox', you say? I'm guessing you didn't deliver to a Victorian terrace today! Are those 4 inch wide letterboxes a listed feature or something? Good grief, even a wage slip has to be folded in three, those Next catalogues didn't stand a chance!

Saturday wouldn't have been a bad day if it hadn't been for two bulk mailings - water bills and calendars. Still, not too many packets. The worst is yet to come...................!

Did a walk using a HCT for the first time, well it was different, much more physical effort and got it another two days this week! Finished at 2pm on what I would consider a light mail day, dread the rest of the week!
