Courier Exchange Blog

Hello, my darlings!

Well...you know what I'm going to say in this part of the post, don't you? I don't even need to start. "Amazing answers; you lot really came through; this is why I love doing reader interactions with you people," and so on and so forth. It feels as though I say this every other week and, while it does bear repeating, I'm sure at some point it gets tiresome!

Hello darlings!

I hope everyone is well and enjoying the fact that the winter chill seems to be slowly going away and being replaced with the far more pleasant crispness of spring. I know with my readers, that is almost certainly the case – working courier jobs in the wintertime can be an absolute nightmare, what with all the ice, rain and snow! Not that it doesn't rain in spring as well - this is England, after all - but you know what I mean.

Hello, dears!

Well! Excuse me if I don't sound quite myself today, but my head is swimming from all these numbers! Years of experience working in a cafe and tallying up sales and till totals did NOT prepare me for this, let me tell you! Then again, I suppose I set myself up for this one, didn't I, fiddling with statistics and whatnot...?

Hello my dears! I hope everyone's 2015 has started off on the best foot possible, and that your month of January was productive and lucrative and all those other things we always wish for people we like! At my end, things have been quiet – it's quite chilly out most days, and the roads are a bit treacherous, so not many people venture out unless they have to. The only visitors at my cafe have been a few regulars who live nearby, and who come in for their scrambled eggs or bacon buttie more out of habit than anything else. Still, can't complain – they're keeping us in business!

Hi everyone!

So – you guys finally decided to start interacting with me, huh? Sure, it was only one letter so far, but we all have to start somewhere, and I'm now feeling a little bit more qualified to follow in Auntie Gertie's footsteps!

Hello, my darlings!

Well – wasn’t that quite the surprise! I always expect a lot of participation whenever I launch one of these fan-interaction thingies, but if you’ve read any of the ones I’ve published in the past, you know I usually have lots of opposite points of view to compare to make the debate interesting.

Hello, my dears!

Well, it’s time for that kind of post we have to do from time to time - the one where we have a serious conversation, you know? Yes, yes, I know, my dears. But there are important issues that need to be addressed – and some of them concern you, too. So bear with me, okay? Who knows, at the end of the article, you may even be writing in to thank me for talking about this!

Hello dears!

This is turning out to be an excellent month for posts! After we had a very fun (but also very serious) reader interaction and a wild (but somehow also sensible) reader theory, this week we have an inspiring story from a reader, whose self-employed courier jobs helped her run a marathon!

Hello my dears!

Some days, I love this ‘job’. You all know how much I like when you darlings give me amazing answers to my fan-question thingies, but another great aspect of being a blogger is getting the kind of message I’ll be reproducing here today. Using this sort of imagination in a message that will probably not even get published only proves how much you like old Gertie and this blog!

Hello, darlings!

Either one of you is a practical joker who got confused and decided to play an April Fools’ Day prank several months early, or something extremely odd just happened.
