Sorry to hear you're still sore Willow, hope it doesn't last.

Monday: Morrisons at Swindon, then a cardboard delivery into Bristol. Finish my tacho break outside the Bristol Hilton 'cos I haven't time left to get anywhere else. Into Magor next then out to Cross Hands near Camarthen, where I arrive just ahead of another one of ours with almost a full load on Waving

. Run back as far as Michaelwood for the night Very Happy

Tuesday: Back to base at Guyhirn where I load a local shunt to one of our off site stores, then round the corner to West Walton for a full load up to Bathgate Neutral

. Its then an interesting ride up as far as Gretna for the night. Interesting because I haven't much weight on and its blowing hard enough to have two lorries on their sides on the route I'm taking Shocked

.

Wednesday: Tip at Bathgate along with three more Bretts. It makes a change to work team handed, bu the trailers are soon empty and we're all off to find our back loads. Mine is a full load of returns and empty pallets from our Scotch yard round the corner, so with that on I spend the rest of the day trundling south. Night out at Newark Very Happy

Thursday: Into Guyhirn, change trailers and then wait for the lst twopallets of my load to be located and loaded Sad

. Eventually get away behind schedule for my first drop, but Tescos are okay having been informed. They're even better when I arrive at Fenny Lock and its discovered that they can't get the plate on because the load is too far back on the trailer. A forklift is summoned and takes them off over the side, then the loader puts them back when he's finished. Thats right, all that for two pallets that weren't theirs Laughing

On to another drop in Milton Keynes, then up to Wellingborough and on to Corby where I'm on time and tipped quickly for a change Shocked

. Back to base, change trailers and take a short break in the yard.

Friday: Down to Bracknell first, then up to Merton where by happy chance the snack wagon turns up while I'm tipping Cool

. One bacon roll and forty five minutes later its back up to Peterborough to load one for delivery that evening, into our yard drop the trailer and home Waving
