Really quiet today, normally have 3 trays of walk sort per day , this week we've had none!
Question is when it does all turn up will be staying out or working our hours?

Re: The "How was your day" thread.
My coldest and heaviest day so far (started two months ago). Not helped by the council sending a postcard to every address to tell them what day the bins will be emptied instead of on Christmas Day - really useful information to the 40% of addresses on my walk that have communual bins that don't need to be put out.

Easy day AGAIN. Lots of cards, normal packets and not many flats. Finished with time to spare - and it's Wednesday! Not sure when the "rush" will start.

Pretty busy today, I don't know where all the packets are though as it was only really heavy on the card front.
