chick wiggle Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Today was my last day at work. Why is it that your last day is such a lovely day with people saying such nice things, if it was like that every day I would think twice about leaving Im saying goodbye to my lovely ERF (Emily Roberta Foster ) She has been an absolute joy to drive and we have had some fun challenges together. I passed the keys over to the new driver this afternoon and am happy she is in safe hands. The boss also asked if i would like to cover holidays and/or sickies so thats nice, I will be seeing her again. Here she is in all her glory!

chick wiggle Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 Well yes i do ANH and love it too, its just everthing else that goes with it just got too much and i need a break so no, im not doing anything else yet. Gonna enjoy the summer and when i get bored i will look for something. The boss still would like me to do holiday cover etc, so i will be keeping my hand in occasionally. and err, Redwing, i always knew you were a little bit crazy but how on earth can you say grubby jeans and minging clodhopping boots are glam and no not regretting it one little bit (not yet anyway) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chick wiggle Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 Ooo ropeing and sheeting, nooooooo, not for me that, much too much like hard work! It was my home from home, I cant believe how much stuff accumulates in the cab! I had 3 bin bags and a plastic toy box full of stuff to bring home. There was a kettle, bottles, books, cushions, blankets, hard hats, maps.... tons of stuff! There was about 4 Hi-viz coats in there too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
