The biggest nut sack






Monday went to Asda Lutterworth, Lidl Lutterworth and Tesco Hinckley and came back via the nut-house, all in all a busy day, i took a few pics inside the the nut-house just for something to do. Pretty boring really unless you are a nutter but now you know what a giant nut sack looks like and also a nut packing line. I saw someone in there and i asked him what he was doing.
"Nuttin'" he replied. I think he must have been doing something though???

Tuesday went to Asda Europort (Wakefield) then over to Heron Foods in Hull. Heron Foods is in a side street and its a bit awlward to swing the trailer on to the bays, i had to wait ages in the queue to be unloaded so i knew i was not going to make it back to the depot. Looks like im sleeping in the cab tonight, i make it back to junction 2 of the M42 (Hopwood Services) and retire for the evening. Half past midnight and im good to go again so its a swift drive down the M5 and back into the yard.

Wednesday took my paperwork into the office and got sent back up the M5 again. My mission should i wish to accept it was to take an empty trailer up to Hilton Park Services which is just West of Birmingham and to rendevous with another agent (oops i mean driver) from our Trafford Park (Manchester) yard, swap trailers then come back to Gloucester, easy peasy.
Got there a little after 4 am, had a little wander round in case he was already there, he wasnt so i got back in the cab, switched on the night heater, climbed on the bunk and went to sleep.

2 hours later he turned up, we switched trailers and went our separate ways. I took the trailer back to Gloucester, backed it onto a bay and was told i could go home, what a result.

Well that was my week, how was yours. Yesterday our Police Criminal Records Checks came back and were totally clean ( its a good job too as i had paid £10 each for them, if they were dirty i would have sent them back) Thats all the paperwork sorted now, all we have to do is sell the house and we are ready to go. In the meantime we got our 2 week trip in May which we are all looking forward to and a load more decorating which we are not looking forward to.
