Default Guess what i've got..................?

Another job

Only been at the skip place in Westerham for 3 weeks and already its proving too much

50 miles-ish round trip every day, M25 and then all the country lanes

So had an interview with quite a big company in Purfleet, Essex last night and i start on Monday

More money too..... Looks like 99% of the time i'll be working at Stansted shifting concrete for the new runways.

Should be driving an 06 plate Scania like this:
