i was genuinely loading and and cant get any documentation to prove otherwise,
Would yr friend not provide a statement?
I would say yes they would but the council wouldnt accept it as proof as i could easily do it myself. Its ridiculous i have to prove weights of boxes, just another council skank money grabbing event.
Sorry, but you are wrong, the council must accept it provided it has a name and address on it and is signed. It would be accepted at the adjudicators, if the council just ignore it.

I actually still have all the stuff i collected in the car, is it worth getting a picture of that to send as well ? its literally packed to the roof
Absolutely yes ! The receipt from the shop doesn't prove loading, that is just shopping and not exempt. Your representations must concentrate on the loading of the boxes. Include photos and some weights to back up you case.
Best not to include the shop receipt, because loading must only take as long as necessary. Going shopping after finishing loading is not permitted.

I was in Tooting collecting some bulky items from a friend, it was a sunday and even though i could have parked in the street in the residents bays i took the oppurtunity to use the loading bay as i was collecting several boxes with heavy items, i also spotted a tasty Maltese shop that had opened so after loading the vehicle i popped in to get some treats, this was around 4 minutes from loading the car, on return i had received the PCN, i went back to the shop and asked if i they would provide a receipt which they kindly did and had the time on it.
The loading bay road markings are almost pretty much gone, i was genuinely loading and and cant get any documentation to prove otherwise, only this receipt i have from a food outlet, had i not of been loading i would have just driven another 20 feet or so to park in the street bormally which is outside of controlled hours. PCN attached and my own pictures to.
