Gardening leave, what constitutes being available?

[Saddlebag]

So, on gardening leave for 3 months after resigning. Been told that pay, car, fuel card etc are all still OK to be used, and that I must be contactable (even though I have had to hand in laptop and phone) and available for work, should they decide thats what they want.

So what does that mean? Do I have to stay at home all the time? What if I am out miles away and they call at 10 and want me in?

Clearly I want to visit friends and go to trackdays-I dont want to be waiting by the phone for 3 months!!!

Had my letter stating the facts.

Now on garden leave until the end of Feb, I will NOT be required to carry out any work, must not attend place of work or contact suppliers/clients etc etc.

Am more relaxed now-thanks for all the replies chaps.

Work begins on doing all the jobs the cars need doing tomorrow!
