Default I passed!!!
I am SO thrilled I just wanted to share the brilliant news with you all!

This morning I PASSED my driving test!!! I have had a fair few tests (back when I was 17/18) and gave up driving.

For 10 years it's remained an issue for me, preventing me from doing things and just generally be a pain! I was made redundant last year and I said that enough was enough... I started lessons again and now I've PASSED!

Wooo hooo! toot toot, beep beep!!!

Well done u Hollie. It's a great feeling.

I remember getting in the car on my own for the first time and had a smile from ear to ear.

Happy driving!

Oh thanks again all for the kind messages. I have made three journeys now on my own and to pick up some friends and the feeling was just so amazing! The sense of freedom... it's just great!

Aircon, my husband and I will be sharing a car, we have a Xsara Picasso, which I really like as it's a bit bigger and has alot of storage space too for shopping! My husband bought a push bike yesterday as in Reading there is so much traffic, it takes less time for him to ride a bike to work than it does drive! So, I have the car... predominately!
