Returned from two weeks holidays last Tuesday 27th May and had some driving on tues wed and thurs, then I have been on other work since with no day off.
If I want to return to driving again what rest period do I need before I can drive.

You started the working week on Tuesday of last week so you should have started a weekly rest period no later than Monday this week (144 hours from the start time on the 27th May).
If you intend to drive in-scope of EU regulations this week you should now have at-least 24 hours rest before doing any more work.
thanks tachograph
much appreciated
also is there something in the rules where you can opt out of the WTD

only the night time rules which would have to be with a collective workforce agreement as far as i am aware
As bjd said the only part of the RT(WT)R you can opt out of is the night working time limit, to opt out of the night time working limit you need a workforce agreement or a collective agreement if you have a union.
