Hello, my dears!
Well, I hope you're ready for another post filled with tips and tricks about doing work as a courier, because that is exactly what this is! Our themed month rolls on to a third week and, fortunately, the reception to the previous two has been incredibly positive, which makes me think this one is likely to go over well, too.

Hello, dears!
Well, the weather apparently continues to not be able to make up its mind as to what season it's supposed to be! So, while we all patiently await the arrival of summer, I thought I'd entertain you lot with our usual dose of [courier work](https://courierexchange.co.uk/courier-jobs.html) related goodness!

Hello, my darlings!
How is everyone doing this week? Hopefully not feeling like an old woman, like your Aunt Gertie! I'm having a bit of a hard time shaking off the birthday blues, I'm afraid. Hopefully, publishing all of your wonderful posts will cheer me up!

Hello, my dears!
Before we get started with our discussion for this month, I have an announcement to make. Posts over the next couple of weeks may seem a little topical - as in, focused around a specific theme. And that's because, this past week, I celebrated my birthday!

Hello, my dears!
Well, what can I say? I do love being right! Last week, I predicted that whatever answers my darlings gave to the reader interaction question of the week would be varied, interesting, and worth the trouble of coming up with a question in the first place. And wouldn't you know it, this week, you lot proved me right – again.

Hello, all!
Well, spring has sprung at long last! Even if the weather still wants to be a bit naughty and give us the occasional chilly day, I think it's safe to say that dreadful, long, interminable winter is finally behind us!

Hello, my loves!
Well, [March](http://www.timeout.com/london/london-events-in-march) Marches on (see what I did there?) and we're still getting good weather, so hopefully this will continue. I don't know about anybody else, but I've had a share of chill to last me the year – winter seemed endless, didn't it?
