    I'm here now :rotfl:

    I've been too poorly to care much about christmas, it was just a case of battle through to make sure everything that needed doing was done before I crawled off to bed.

    My best friend has organised a birthday surprise in london tomorrow. I have no idea what we are doing other than meeting at kings x in the morning... I hope whatever it is requires a bright red nose and no energy :rotfl:

    BB shame the polo has gone :( Have you had an automatic before? I drove the ex's merc for a couple of years, that was my first experience of an auto, now I couldn't go back to a manual, too lazy in my old age. It might help a bit with your driving phobia.

    The whole insurance thing sucks though doesn't it.

    it was Sally's car which has been sold :(

    My Honda was an automatic. I switched from manual because of my leg/back - I don't have any sensation below the knee of my left leg so I couldn't feel the clutch under my foot and also the movement was sometimes difficult in the mornings if my back was very sore.

    It has helped a tiny, tiny bit. When I had a manual I always said an automatic would help. Part of my fear (there are many elements :rolleyes:) is changing gear on a sliproad when joining another fast moving road (dual carriageway etc) so I knew an automatic took that element out. Just the other dozen or so parts of my fear to solve :rolleyes: Seen a lovely car the same as I have just lost, 4 years younger and with a higher spec - but on the Kent/Surrey border :rolleyes:. I know exactly where my fear stems from - the exact moment, which was on my first driving test in a car I'd never driven beforehand - but over time it's grown and 'developed' to take in most elements of driving, just a shame I can't undo it all.

    The whole insurance thing is a joke :mad:

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Let's just say that at 4am on Wednesday morning, we decided to forsake the bedroom and go and play in the snow. :D

    It was a bit brisk! :rotfl: But we warmed up pretty quickly. :cool:
