    I hated my driving instructor, he made me cry! I would definitey find one that you like.

    Well we went flat hunting today and we went and looked round the area and we saw two flats. We really liked one of them, was two bed so means we wouldn't have to move for a while. It was a ground floor one so had a little garden as well which was really nice. Have sent the details to my Dad as need him to have a look really, especially as he will be lending us the deposit!

    Ooh Wendz that flat sounds good! Hope your Dad likes it!

    I liked my driving instructor, he was really scatterbrained and odd but we'd just drive around having a good old chat, I missed him when I passed my test!

    My Brothers Girlfriend is learning with the same guy and says he's nice so *fingers crossed* Got my first lesson booked for this Sunday. Eep! Just keep on telling myself I get to drive a Fiat 500 and it's all okay. Also they can pick me up from the office after work for a lesson, then drop me off at home :D Nice!

    Wendz - Exciting that you've found a flat you like! Hope your Dad gives it the thumbs up.

    Cinny that's great - how cool. And very exciting to have a new hairstyle too - can we see a pic when you get finished?

    ETA Wends, sounds promising! How cool and a 2 bed would be really great - tell us more....

  • Mine made me cry too Wendz, right before I took my first test - no wonder I failed and didn't get behind the wheel of a car again for seven years!

    Flat sounds lovely and a little garden too! That's one reason I've vetoed flats for when we move in together, I really want our own garden to sit in. That's easier to do up here though than in London I guess! Fingers crossed for you!

    ETA - how long did it take me to type that? Exciting Cinny! Be strong Lara!!

    My flat in Newcastle had a big balcony on it, I loved it, but I couldn't get by with no outside space at all. Lets hope your dad likes it too

    That is good the driving instructor is nice. You will be fine. It is scary but great when you get to grips with it all.

    Is really frustrating me I have to wait till my Dad is home from work to talk to him. We have just booked to see another tomorrow as we would like to see a few to know we are making the right choice. I would love a little garden which is one of the reasons I like it so much, the one we are seeing tomorrow has a garden too but is only one bedroom, but is a litte cheaper. Have to see how we feel about it.

    Well my Dad seems to think it is OK and isn't too fussed about viewing it as long as we are happy with it. He has asked me to look into drawing up a legal contract as to how we would pay him back, and what would happen if we broke up etc which we are looking into now.

    We will look at the other flat tomorrow and maybe take a second look at the one we really like if possible. Is all very exciting, but scary as well!

    Hi everyone,

    Great news about the flats wendz - you will have to keep us updated!

    Had a pretty rubbish day today - went to court for the sentencing of the drink driver that ran my friend down. Feels like i have taken another huge leap back with the whole grieving process now.
