It is not a good idea to drink too much on Monday night and go to work on Tuesday.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Finished 20 mins early. :Very Happy

Bloody cold wind, jees where did that come from :sad:

Ave sort of weds ie: loads of packets and 13 things to get signed. Letters perhaps a little down. Out at 9.20am and still finished by 13.30 so not that bad really :neutral:

Took 30 min break and left at 2pm. Drove to MOT center and waited whilst car was in. Passed thank god but still £58 to pay. Filled up with fuel £53. Just taxed it tonight as well (another £120) moneys going through my hands like water this week. :sad: :sad: :sad:

Another "guest" postie on the P&L with me today that has only done this delivery on a bike... (4 yrs ago!) when the area was covered by about 6 posties.. and it's now covered by 3!
Wonder how today will pan out, as Thurs tend to be packet heavy with Tracked Items, signed for's and e-Bay and Amazon and a large amount of mail.
