I spent mine looking at a broken propshaft by the side of a rather chilly road, before being wrecker’d back to the yard… then taking another truck to finish my bloody run off.
tired
AND I now have a bloody cold. 
So, how did you lot spend your Friday evening?
Being phoned up by the traffic office as I approach London informing me the shunter has told them I’ve left my car lights on. Solved the problem though, phoned the wife, got her to do a 60 mile round trip with the spare key to turn them off so I didn’t come back to a flat battery at 3am. 
LOL, I sense someone will be getting an earfull 
Meal out with the wife. Sorry to hear about the propshaft, hope you manage to get rid of the cold quickly…
Arrived to catch a ferry only to realise my depot had booked me on as a camper van, not a lorry. Missed my boat, waited ages for the next and got home rather late… Aside from that all good 
Spent it in the house watching comic relief.[emoji52]
On the couch with the remote control, wifey at work on night shift so was lording it right up swaggerin around in ma pants watchin what I want.
Only thing was I ended up fallin asleep by 10.
… in Wetherspoons
Parked at Cobham services.
Surprisingly clean and tidy for a motorway services. Actually saw a real life security guard on patrol as well!
Sister was down from Kent so me and 3 sisters had the obligatory Chinese then sat down to watch a movie with coffee and chocolates…

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer person 
Slightly amazed that Britains most highly regarded & professional truck driver could make such a rookie mistake tho…

You’ll be telling us it actually stayed all night next 
Routing round the bloody A14 night closures coming back from Coalville. Back at yard 23:30, home, bed. 64hrs Mon-Fri. Full w/end off. Yeah!!!
M6 to Newcastle-under-Lyme back up to Warrington depot (1st time) back up to Gretna. Probably the N-U-L best suited to me as apart from the 45 there’s no hanging about.
Told Mrs and pretty much everyone else this would be my last run. Agency phoned while I was waiting for my trailer, conversation went like this
Agency; Hi, Dave how’s things.
Me; I’m thinking of giving up driving,
Agency, laughing; well you won’t want to do a midnight start all week then, (he knows I wouldn’t touch it anyway)
Me; erm, NO.
Agency; OK could you just do me a big favour and do an 11.30am start on Friday
Me; is that a Hull run?
Agency; no idea mate they just give me the start times, so do you want it?
Me; Aye OK
So I’m doing a run (double run to weegieland and back) next Friday 
. What is worrying is I my mouth said yes before my brain had a chance to think about it, WTF is wrong with me.

He’s only human Luke you must forgive him
Dinner with the Mayor’s daughter .
Started at 5am, finished by 13:30. Fish n chips for tea, Gormans of course, tried a bit of red nose stuff but as I hate ■■■■■ McCall & Winkleman with a passion, they are living proof you need zero talent to be on TV, I read a bit & watched gogglebox.

Surely as a proper driver Conor has a set of jump leads in the lorry so a flat battery shouldn’t be a problem, have jumped my car plenty of times from the lorry when the battery is flat.

Have to agree with you about McCall but there is just something about Claudia that you know you would

I’m just suprised he’s got a wife.
