How fricking cold today :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

I lost feeling in my fingers after 20 mins dispite having fingerless gloves on. Windchill was the killer today. Had one massive snow flurry which lasted 10 mins in which i turned into a walking snowman, then it stopped as quick as it started. The wind soon blew the snow off again. Wierd.

Quite a heavy day. Booked 40 mins over. Glad to finish and come home to a warm bath ahhhhhhh :nana

6 d2ds and one of them was like a magazine from dfs. Also British heart foundation with a coaster inside! wtf.
Anyway dropped all packets, again! Brought 2 loops back to office and re-prepped them in frame for tomorrow. Back at 3.20 - 1hr 15 over.
Hope tomorrow is a-lite day. hahahaha

found my "special child" mittens this morning :nana , they have little flaps to cover your fingers when cycling, then you just fold 'em back and your fingerless to faff with the mail.

also I threw up in 3 different flower beds, will most likely be calling in sick tomorrow :Very Happy :Very Happy

Nice easy day and the lightest I've known it so far, will probably make up for it tomorrow though, very cold as well.

Just had Dom assist on the phone begging me to hurry back to work.
Apparently she had to cover my round today and has lost a couple of recordeds and a special!
She hopes she's left them in a pouch box but she's also managed to lose the whole bunch of keys!

It is not too bad so far this week even it is a big walk :( but I am thankful it is not the same awful walk last week.

Loads of packets, and mainly ones that were just too big to put in the bundles so I had to keep digging them out to feed them in. Half the recordeds went back with me and for nearly half the walk I was having to push the local free paper fully through the letterbox before doing the post. Better weather today and not too cold.
