Champagne and Mojitos all round!
I DID IT!!! – I passed my driving test successfully this morning with seven minor faults .... despite turning right at one point when the examiner said turn left AND stalling at a tricky junction with a nasty hill start.
I am exhausted and elated. My instructor was full of praise for my stubbornness at not letting yesterday’s Nightmare Lesson get to me – he was thrilled and gave me a hug. Mother-in-Law was clearly relieved when I got out of the car and signalled Thumbs Up to her waiting anxiously at her front door. Hubby sounded like he was going to collapse with the strain of the wait when I telephoned him with the good news. He’s coming over tomorrow and will be with us probably round about lunchtime – the champagne is in the fridge for a celebration dinner.
I’m currently half way through the gallon of tea that I promised myself and then I’m probably going to flake out completely for an hour’s snooze.
I am SOOOOOOOO glad that is all over!!!!!

Now is the time to do the landscaping projects and tree surgery, just while you still have all that adrenaline zooming around.
I said you would pass didn’t I. This news has made my day.

Thanks all – I’m still as high as the proverbial kite :-)
If anyone had told me this time last year that I’d pass my driving test within twelve months, I would have said they were crazy!
I’ve spent the last thirty years stubbornly resisting every attempt to persuade me to learn to drive, you know ;-)

That is inspiring!!
I am 38 (about to be 39) and still don’t drive! I keep putting it off because I’m nervous ninny LOL! Actually I have A.D.D and it’s always been one of my serious phobias that causes serious anxiety. Sure I can drive back roads out here in the country, but it’s traffic and other distractions that scare the heck out of me. After today I believe I’ll start studying for my permit (the booklet is gathering dust) and just get too it!
Thanks for sharing,
