Yes boys and girls, it’s only 6 weeks to go… and that time of the year is here again, you know, the one where, the little ankle biters are deeply engrossed in the Argos catalogue, saying thing like -
“I like that Playstation 2 Dad” and “That mobile phone is brilliant Dad, I love you Dad”
It’s the time when your wallet, has no hope of keeping it’s contents!
So whats everyone on here doing?
I am fortunate (I think thats the right phrase?), my company shuts down for two weeks (18th Dec to 4th Jan), so I will be home. There may be the occasional abnormal load needs moving, so I may may get the odd chance to escape
So come on lets here your plans and while on the subject -
A big thank you to Rikki & Lucy, all the moderators and everyone else on Trucknet UK and Merry Xmas & a Happy New Year
Finish Thurday morning 9( last night shift) then back in on the Tuesday night for triple time … work til Thurday again and the same the next week although i think the Tuesday after new year will only be single time :(.
well as you all know i only work christmas eve every year…but for 364 days i have to build all the new toys the kids want…i also have to feed the reindeer and get the sleigh mot`d in case i get a pull…the elves are complaining that they want to work under the w.t.d. whatever that is…and there is rumour that they want east europeans to join in the malarky cos its cheaper…well i can tell you that i aint having none of that…whoever wants to work for me can…but they will earn the minimum wage like everyone else…but i will pay time and a half for xmas eve…and double time if it goes into xmas day…
may i take this opportunity of wishing everyone on this wonderful site especially the admins…a very happy christmas and a prosperous new year and may all your dreams come true …

First Christmas with my company I told them that there is no way I will work on Boxing day because it is a traditional English religious holiday, and I will be drinking religiously
