Posted by Gertie on 05-Dec-2017 10:00:37

Hello, dears!

I hope everyone is doing well and is as excited as I am about the official countdown to Christmas.

Hello, all! Steven here.

How's everyone doing this week? Well, I hope. I'm quite excited myself – we are now officially in the countdown to peak season for courier work, and while there's bound to be plenty of hard work ahead (as you all will probably be well aware) it's also going to be well worth it. After all, who doesn't like a bit of extra cash in their pocket to spend at Christmas?

Hello, all! Steven here!

Yes, you're seeing it right – we're kicking things off with a post by yours truly again. Don't worry, though - I won't be taking this blog away from Auntie Gertie anytime soon. I couldn't possibly do that to her! This is her baby and she needs to be the one to write most of the stuff in it. So this is not a takeover, just a friendly guest post.
