Got my first break :D :D

Can’t believe this situation but none the less I’m over the moon to get a break on artics!!

Went to bed last night and was waking up every hour shivering and sweating loads. Next morning I felt like death! was so weak walking to the kitchen was a bit of a struggle. Got a couple of pills down me and went back to bed and have been cat napping through most of the day.

About 30 minutes ago I was woken up by my phone going off, I answered and it was someone I rang a few days ago about any work. He asked me to go in for a days work tomorrow to see how things go!

So so so happy to be given a break as I passed C, C+E in May 2011 and until now I’ve only driven rigids. Its just bloody typical that the one time where I’m kind of glad to have no work because I felt like ■■■■ I got a call to do some work.

Still feeling a bit off now but going to just have to get on with it. I feel better than I was this morning that’s for sure. Just not too sure on how I’m going to get a good sleep in tonight and be up for 5am considering all I’ve done today is sleep :blush: :blush: :blush:

Get some “nightnurse” a mate of mine is an insomniac and he swears by it and good luck with the job.

Neurofen Plus.

I’ve been swallowing them as if they were sweets over the last three or four days. Think they’ve messed my guts up as it’s not been pleasant but they have worked a treat on my cold/flu.

Well done, foot in the door :smiley: , it’s a big break for you, getting Class 1 work will be easier. Open your window but have your heater on, the fresh air will do you good, seriously.

Will you be doing international or sticking to your side of the border? :wink: :stuck_out_tongue:

haha lol :smiley:

I’ll be on my side of the border. From what I was told I’ll be moving a couple of trailers from Cwmbran to Blackwood. I’ll be following one of their drivers so should be a pretty easy day tbh

Argh well good luck with it. Nice one.

Get some hot lemon or lemsip into you, its the decongestant that does the trick. Also what you have will be a metabolic complaint meaning, if you sit about it will take longer to work out of your system. more activity means quicker it will go

Oh and good luck!!!

That’s a beautiful part of the country your going to. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Went bloody brilliant! :smiley:

Was moving Fibre glass insulation from the power station in Cwmbran to a storage unit in Blackwood. Done about 5 or 6 trips back and forth.

Felt so good to finally get behind the wheel of an artic even if it was a bit run down lol

Was an easy run too, no loading bays to deal with and not an awful lot of difficult manoeuvring. The only hard part tbh was tuning around in a pretty small yard when tipping.

EDIT: Oh and I’m in again tomorrow :smiley: :smiley:

Glad you enjoyed your first day on artics. Well Done :slight_smile:

A warning to you! Don’t take Nurofen or any other Ibuprofen based pain killer/anti inflammatory on an empty stomach, it will destroy the stomach lining and make you ill but I guess you know that now :laughing:

I just stuck with fresh air paracetamol and huge bottle of water :smiley:

My 12 yr old brother took Ibuprofen last year and the result of it was kidney failure! took months of tests, biopsys & steroids to get everything back on course. Needless to say we don’t use them in our family now :stuck_out_tongue:
