Fairly light day, heavy for a Tuesday, still only finished at correct time, not early.

PO's busting with mail for collections, and boxes rammed full to the brim and then some.

Sweep collection van filled to the brim, so "Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas..!"

Oh, and we Love Parcels, apparently.

Silly amount of parcels today, was at least 5 sacks for every frame, but don't worry... Next week is expected to be heavier.

Think it was a national bulk posting. Was up to my neck in parcels and packets and my eyes kept on being drawn to the " we love parcels" motto on the bottom of these. I was convinced RM were sending it out to drive us insane. :crazy:

Hi all at blue shirts ,
It was packets galore , I know the advert mentioned "we love packets" , but today was insane , even the boss asked me if I wanted to do some on overtime , but after doing a five hour on an up and down hill walk I was goosed , so before I went out on the round I had declined the offer ... and we still claimed overtime ,just for doing the round .
P.S , I am 48
