Welcome
4 days is very quick for a new battery to be discharging
Obviously something draining it, not something daft like an internal light being left on
I'm sure someone on here will be able to offer advice

Sorry to hear you lost your job as a hairdresser

I know you've put a new barrey on it but still get that checked,they can be faulty,most good small oulets can check it for you FOC..then run a voltmeter test on the alternator just to eliminate them 2.
