I'll be honest, for a long time (I was an avid fan of Postman Pat) I have hankered after the idea of being a post lady. But for various reasons never thought it was a viable option.

However, I am now in a position where I need to change my career and after doom-scrolling job sites for about a year I sat down and listed what was important to me, and kept coming back to being a post lady, and a role has come up locally - so it feels a bit like it might be fate.

However, I am aware I have a rose-tinted view of it being a stress free existence, and Mrs Goggins isn't around, so would really appreciate it if any posties out there would hit me with your pros and cons of the job.

Thank you in advance!

My DS is temping as one via agard staffing - their temp agency. Might be worth doing a try out? He’s doing 20000 steps a shift but doesn’t have an early start but does have to work each sat. He’s enjoying it

Thank you! I will look into this!

The post person is allowed access to the staff toilets in my child's school.
Our postman is lovely and I'm sure I would let him use our loo if he was caught short! I doubt he'd ever ask though!
