    Well its lovely and sunny today and i'm feeling fab Used all my excess energy walking my little boy to nursery lol. Think this is the worse bit, just waiting :/
    Quick tip incase you can see this, wear sunglasses! If its sunny seriously wear them, makes it so much easier than using the thing that you pull down from the roof.

    And there was me thinking it was supposed to be 3rd time lucky! This is going to sound incredibly stupid, but I turned down the right-hand side of a road by accident... :facepalm: It was a wide one, so I didn't register that I should have driven past this little island separating the two sides of the road before turning. Another stupid mistake to add to the ever-growing list!

    Re: Driving Test Today!!
    As i said i had my test today on this thread, i thought i'd update the status... Yes, I passed.

    4 minors, one was really stupid. I was getting carried away talking to the examiner that i didnt realise the lights changing to green for a few seconds, after he told me

    Now to get a car + insurance... our car got written off so we have some money from that, our other car is a BMW which i can only dream of getting insured on. Looking at a Polo/Fiesta/Clio/Corsa esque car. Insurance is a bump in my area, yes even more expensive than others. I guess our area, **** goes down more often

    Just to update, I've got my retake tomorrow at 11:11, not actually that scared to be honest.
    Hoping for less minors and no serious this time

    I did the EXACT same thing on my 3rd test! Where did you take your test? If it was Harehills I know the exact one you mean.
