    he more than probably would to be honest skint - yes. The thing is, I'm so scared of driving on roads I've never been on, I can't even proactively say I want to do it. I worry about it for days, I plan where I'm going repeatedly on multimap, it's just a horrible feeling :(

    really depends if you want to sort this out or if you feel happy enough as you are. only you know but could the driving thing also limit you jobwise?

  • I am so tired. and actually in a bad mood despite my successful shopping trip.

    Sounds like little Len had a good birthday, that's nice.

    I don't watch xfactor but I am partial to Strictly come dancing.

    Nevertheless she persisted.

  • but could the driving thing also limit you jobwise?


    Already has done - on numerous occasions. I won't apply for jobs that I know I couldn't drive to or any job that has any kind of driving involved.

    I haven't got X-Factor on, I haven't bothered to set up the TV. I've watched the live shows of this years series but none of them made me go 'wow' and I haven't bothered with the finals because to be honest, I don't 'care' about any of them. I think Alexandra should win because she is very talented but I'm not fussed if she does or not.
