Hello, darlings!

How's everyone doing? I hope the thought of autumn approaching already (when some of us have barely had a summer to speak of!) isn't making everyone depressed and miserable. I know, from my end, I'll be trying my best to make sure that doesn't happen to all my good delivery service friends!

Posted by Gertie on 05-Sep-2015 18:32:05

Hello, darlings!

I hope everyone has had a good summer! (As much as Britain allowed for summer to actually occur that is – I cannot recall a more diverse couple of months where weather was concerned!) You're probably all ready to return to your courier jobs (if you took a break) with a fresh outlook and plenty of enthusiasm!

Hello, my dears!

Well – all good things must pass, as they say, and so we come to the end of our full month dedicated to discovering the other side of a delivery service driver's life. I hope you guys had as much fun reading people's stories as I did publishing them – in fact, I enjoyed myself so much that I'd be ready to do this again at some point! So if you feel the same way, feel free to send suggestions for themed months that we might do in the future.

Before looking into the future, however, there is still some of the present left to attend to – namely, one last post for this themed month.

A Different Side to Courier Jobs

Posted by Gertie on 05-Aug-2015 16:31:21

Hello, my dears!

It's Gertie here, back from Spain and in a sunnier mood than ever! Unfortunately, England seems determined to not share in my disposition, as reports from friends tell me it's been raining on and off over here this entire time! If you were one of my many readers affected by this, I hope this blog post (and the others I will hopefully be able to put out during this month) will help improve your spirits!
