Just have to wonder how the phrase.."It'll all be prepped, just take it down and deliver it" turns into 5 trays of untouched mail - to be prepped - full/overflowing bag of packets and loaddsa parcels. Oh well, at least the rain only started as I was finishing.
SOS...Same old s**t tomoz? Gotta LOVE the Transition. Only thing is, nuffings changed.

Ok for a Friday and cooler than yesterday. Didn't do the lapsing again and have no intention of doing so when people are cutting corners and going home early.

Shock Horror! Mail prepped, taken down, put in marked trays, in order, and some taken off me as there wouldn't have been enough time.

So, all-in-all, was great! Even the mass of packets/parcels went ok as lots of people were in...for once.

Will this miracle occur again? Probably not!

You need to be careful doing that, one of our guys got conducted for starting the D2D's early.

Strangely very easy for a Saturday mail wise. Packets were good too despite a very low number on Friday.

I know what you mean, personally i don't sit there doing D2D's going over time, i got back at 12.50 on Saturday, faffed around and did 20 mins of them to go up to my exact time, as i didn't take a break cause i'd rather finish early, saying that i still took a 15 min break while it was pissing down :)

Have i gone mad?

You are saying that you did not take a break.... but actually took a 15 min break (which does not count)?
