Quite day here too. Leisurely stroll round and still finished early. The calm before the storm?

Pretty average day. Bit damp and on the cool side.

Pretty light today considering the time of year but had a backlog of mail to clear. Did an hour over so not too bad, weather ok, sun shone for a bit then looked like it was gonna turn really nasty but didn't. Day off tomorrow so enjoying a couple of drinks tonight :Very Happy

Pretty light really expected a lot worse, still went over by a bit. Overheard the managers saying 'that wasn't so bad' as well as if they were expectign a lot today. Probably come tmrw and I expect Wed/Thur will be collosal.

I don't know how your office got it so light, I walked in this morning to a full york of packets, plus another 1/2 york and loads of small packets, just like everybody else in the office.
I hope tomorrow is a lot lighter or there is going to be serious problems for the rest of the month.

FUBAR of all FUBARs - lift in a 3 floor building failed so we had to use chains to move stuff Up, and handball downwards. Of course its all going to work when we get P&L in full. :thumbup :thumbup :thumbup

One of the lightest days ever. One bundle on loops that normally have two bags. Finished two hours early. :nana

Off tomorrow when the inevitable s**t hits the fan. :nana

Very light day so went out after my round with the packets that were sorted in the afternoon. Came back to a note that ive miss delivered to the wrong street. Just a single address but a mistake none the less. Start of my second week so I should be improving... First day off tomorrow since starting last monday. Christmas shopping time!

Ditto here - quite light - however unlike the "I wanna finish early brigade" I worked to my time by banging out 95% of this week's D2Ds to get them out of the bloody way !

Very very light here too - packets were up for a Tuesday but nothing major. I've noticed loads of people in private cars delivering things though from Amazon etc. - I wonder if this is why we're not getting hammered yet, it must take a fair bit off us?

It was heavier than a normal Tuesday for letters and flat but load of packets :sad: Either my office is totally bucking the trend or everyone elses office is due to get hammered tomorrow.
