Mandy has to visit a customer in Cardiff, so I'm flying over with her and then I'm heading to my mum's for a couple of days. Then we're meeting in London on Friday and heading up to Cambridgeshire to see my lads and Mandy's son and then flying back on Sunday morning. €100 for the return flight for me. My lads are coming over at the beginning of June for a week. They got return flights for just over £100 for the pair of them! Costing us €650 for NL.....it's high season in July! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good question , but as he only drove about an hour on the first journey and then about 6 hours on the second journey I'd say he was well within his driving hours . 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha yeah would have been good had that been the case but between Monday morning and 11pm last night when I got home I did slightly over 56 hours driving over that 3 day period and worked closer to 63 hours and the time I wasn't working I was asleep so 9hours sleep over that time over that time was shit, don't think I'd last very long on that kind of balance. Today though I've been offered a start next Tuesday for the place I've been working at doing the holiday cover as one of the guys there has just handed his notice in, im working there again next week anyway so will find out the gen and will most likely go there as I'll be minimum £500 a month better off as its a 5 mile commute rather than 40 miles a day to Middlesbrough and back, and I get my own truck so don't have to keep transferring all my prozzie killing gear from one truck to another. It's a no brainer 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope , it's definitely the steel works end as we used to ride through the dunes behind Kenfig golf club to get to it and then ride out through Margam Moors to get out. We got chased once by the steel works security 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure my wife is wondering that too, I took yesterday off because of the shifts I put in and today we are off to the south for my mum's birthday. Just waiting for the child to finish nursery and then we will be getting on the road 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tango Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Had labyrinthitus/ vertigo for most of the week, so I've felt fairly shit for most of it. Seems to be clearing up a bit now, so hopefully I'll be OK to fly on Tuesday! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
