I hope this does not upset anyone but thought as there was a post mainly for us retired people to discuss what we do at our leisure that there should also be a post for those still working to post. Just as some might be jealous of our freetime, some might be missing work cammeradery.

Still no orders this evening so we're doing flyers in Coleridge Road at the moment. We had a few orders from the neighbouring Coleridge Crescent, so it seems this area has potential.

How much do you get for delivering flyers, Malcolm?

Write your comments here...I get the minimum £25 per day if there is not enough in delivery fees.

I didn't actually. Woke up this morning with a face reminiscent of the Elephant man (poor devil). Left work early yesterday with the mother of headaches, slept all afternoon and night only to wake up this morning with a face only my mum would love. Got to the GP surgery nice and early and got an Appt with a lovely lady nurse who prescribed me some anti-biotic. I HAVE to go to work tomorrow regardless of how I feel or what I look like as I am on call from 8 Friday to 8 Monday. I am a lazy civil servant . Joy

So, if you've already done £25 worth of deliveries, how much would you get for spending a few hours on leafleting?

Write your comments here...They don't expect me to do leafleting unless there's less than £25 in delivery fees. Usually if there is more than £25 worth of deliveries, there's no time to do leafleting.

Previously, when there were two delivery drivers for the Worthing area, there were days when I had only £15 worth of delivery fees. This would cost dinnertogo £10 to make the money up to the minimum £25. So they needed more customers in that situation. However, the other driver has left so that I'm now the only driver and therefore getting all the delivery work which is effectively doubling the delivery fee that I'm able to earn. So now, even on quiet days, I'm getting more than £25 a day in delivery fees.

Things should improve from next month onwards when I start qualifying for my state pension, as this will add to my earnings from dinnertogo. The difficulty is that with only one driver, they can't give me any time off. So they now require me to work 7 days a week but that also means an extra days earnings, plus tips!

The boss is happy with this arrangement as it means that he gets more time to spend with his family. He has a wife and three year old daughter and so needs time to spend with them.
