Hello, darlings!

Well – the first week of our little experiment didn't go badly at all, did it? You lot seem to have enjoyed the post about receipts, and I got quite a bit of feedback along the lines of 'you're right, young 'uns do need to know this'. There were even some real-life examples thrown in from some of you! I'm happy that my little post has been so well-received, and I hope this one goes over as well as the previous one, even though it's about a very different subject.

Once a Courier Driver, Always a Courier Driver?

Posted by Gertie on 15-May-2016 16:43:53

Hello, my dears!

As Aunt Gertie's birthday month rolls on, I'm afraid we will be having yet another discussion regarding life after (and, to an extent, also during) courier work. I did warn you at the top of the month that posts might become a little bit topical, and I just so happen to have found another interesting angle from which to start a reader discussion.

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!

What Type Of Courier Driver Are You?

Posted by Gertie on 15-Apr-2016 11:02:15

Hello, my dearies!

Before I begin, let me say – for the hundredth time – how much I love having you all as readers. I don't usually have time to talk about the number of messages I get to my email week in and week out (except when I'm talking about answers to a reader interaction), so believe me when I say, it's quite a significant amount! And most of them talk about how my blog is one of their Internet 'pit stops' every week, and their favourite place to read about and discuss what it means to be a courier driver. So thank you all very, very much, and I hope I can continue being a source of enjoyment for you with my little corner of the Internet.

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.
