Looks like 8 boxes of something bulky (pens in them probably) plus trays of other stuff. How I am going to fit it all in the van next week I have no idea. I have had enough, who wants to join my escape committee?
sounds like a good week to just work your hours (like every week) :nana

Why go in early when you don't have to? Won't get much sympathy here if you like working for free, more fool you! :arrrghhh

Not too bad on the walk. Did a short stint in the callers office as emergency cover. Somebody trapped his finger in a post box. :sad: :cry

It went absolutely mental on packets today..... filled the van up with a massive amount. The usual amount of tracked and specials, plus a load of Amazon packets too. We just about managed to get finished on time.

(If there was a smilie for being knackered.. I'd use it!)
