I refused to put them in boarding kennels or cattery, so I can do what the hell I want, so long as the place is tidy two days before here return...meanwhile , I'm doing a credible impression of Bob the slob.
Maaarvelous!
Enjoy the zoo

Think I've just entered the slave labour market- goodness knows how I'll carry them all. I'll have to divide it into about 6 trips.
We have had the same girl deliver our leaflets for nearly seven years.She uses an old pram to carry them.It is silly money but the exercise will be good and it may lead to something better.You never know.

Default Re: How has your day been?

I've spent over 3 hours sorting out leaflets- neck and back are now really aching, and I had the wrong number delivered- 3 lots were too many, one lot was missing altogether, and another was 50 short. 20 were so soggy that I've still not managed to dry them out and 6 were ripped to shreds. My havds are black from the ink!!
I have 8 bags full of 25 sets of 8 leaflets. They are all I can manage at one time or they are too heavy to carry. I'll look out for a cheap shopping trolley I think. It will probably take 4-6 hours to deliver them, so I'm working for $4-5 an hour.

OS - that's good news all round- tried to send karma but I have to spread it about a bit before you get any more!!

I was naffed off. Went to Big W and as we walked in we were given leaflets about NEXT online shopping. I hate NEXT, I didn't like it when I lived in the UK, it's still shite now and I don't want their poxy advertising in Big W. I'm sure half the members on here will now be rushing off to Big W though.

I use to love Next,but I have managed seven years without it.Every time I have gone back I had a quick look but left empty handed.Why is Big W advertising for Next.

No idea. We were confused as well. I could understand Target I guess because they sell the same stuff as Next but not Big W.
