Provided you had weekly rest before you started your Monday shift, there shouldn’t be a problem on the face of it. But things are sometimes not that simple and without further detail it’s impossible to give a definite answer.
I had over 60 hours rest before i started my shift on monday

YES
The first 3 days will need to be recorded on a digi, on seperate digi printouts or on seperate analogue cards with your name, date, start & finish times.
If you started at say 0600 monday (after a 60 hours rest) then you must start the next weekly rest at or by 0600 sunday which can be a reduced weekly rest of at least 24 hours
Just make sure that you have at least a 45 rest every other week and at least a 24 rest on the other weeks.
so i wud just have to put other work on 3 different tacho discs for monday tuesday and wednesday?

As I understand it, you’ll be required to make a manual record of those days recording the duty as Non Driving. I was advised that a record of Non driving duties on a WTD log would be fine & would save making out a tacho disc for non driving working days.

In any week that you drive in-scope of EU regulations work done on days that no in-scope driving is done should legally be recorded as a manual entry on a chart, printout or a manual entry into a digital tachograph except days that you’ve driven to Domestic rules when an entry in a log book will be OK.
It should be recorded as other work
Page 27 - Drivers Hours and Tachograph Rules:
Records
During a week in which the in-scope driving has taken place, any previous work (including out-of-scope driving since the last weekly rest period), would have to be recorded as “other work” on a tachograph chart, printout or a manual entry using the manual input facility of a digital tachograph, or a legally required GB domestic record on a log book (see page 36).

Was that one of the VOSA blokes from the other thread who gave you that advice? If so you really drew the short straw when you got them on the other end of the line. If it wasn’t one of them it was probably a driver trainer.
May I suggest you download the VOSA Guide as it has the answer to both this question and the two questions in the other thread and is a lot more accurate, and cheaper, than actually phoning VOSA it seems.
