I was arisen by the sound of my dad sneezing downstairs at 0740 this morning. I new what I had to do. I was up and out of the house just after Friends finished with the last of my magazines in tow. I started on the Watsons and then moved onto Cromwell by doing the evens, then walked down the road to finish of Grenville. On my return to Cromwell I did the odds of Desborough followed by the remains of Cromwell.
I checked my trolley. Supplies where low and I still had half of Desborough, Tothill, St. Judes and the shops to go. I starter in the middle of Desborough, took what mags I could carry and the left the trolley in a safe place. I did numbers 60 and upwards, turned around and headed back to my remaining stash. I took it slowly from here as the inevitable was about to happen. I ran out of mags at No.48.
Broken I turned homeward where I had some toast and a shower. After Scrubs I went to the centre and explained my lack of mags. I took another 83 from what was left and went straight back to work. First I did Tothill & St. Judes, they are usually out of the way but from the centre it made sense to do them first. With my arms bulging from the strain of paper I turned east to Desborough, starting at No.2 and going upwards. I hit number 46 with 15 issues remaining.
The Embankment Rd shops where my last hope. Co-op, Tonking, Dave's, BETFRED, that strange carpet store and a charity shop. I delivered to them all and more. Yet I posted my final mag in the new Laundromat and locked onwards. The chemist, warrens and that shop that just sells tills will be Eastenderless this time.
£121.40p for me

Nah, not really. About 8 hours max over 2 days which exquates to roughly £15 an hour tax free. I just made it seem like alot of work which will be a usefull skill for my dissertation.
