Just calm down - breathe deeply. If you get worked up you'll make silly mistakes. YOU CAN DO IT. Just pretend you're with your normal instructor.

I'll be sending positive vibes.


Mum2one - OMG - Miss Hoodies special day on Thurs. Now I do know it's nearly Christmas. Thanks for the heads up on the bargains. I've just noticed Superdrug on the grabbit - I've had a look and there are a few nice bits for stocking fillers on there.

Morning all

Fil is still doing well, he is hoping they will let him home soon so we are keeping our fingers crossed for him. I did a couple of surveys this morning, I havent been up to much else though.

I got a bargain yesterday though, we took OH's Mum home and as we drove through her town I spotted a fabric shop I hadnt been to so I talked OH into taking me and got some lovely fabrics at only £1 a metre. Makes up for what I didnt get at Ikea and they are much prettier fabrics too.

Hope to catch up better later in the week when things have calmed down a bit. Thanks for all the good wishes, Rufus xx

Morning guys. Another fine day outside.

Thinking of you Cornish for today. You can do it. Lots of deep breaths. I have no clue how I passed first time myself. I just knew I needed to do it. Otherwise I would have had a right job working in one town while DH needed to be in another town 25 miles away to do the last year of his degree. Just take your time, and remember us girls here are rooting for you as we know you can do it.

I ended up in bed for about 11:30 again. Feel tireder today than yesterday though, so I need to push myself again.

£3 PC money came through yesterday from Monday's survey, so I ordered an engraved dog tag for no cost to me. We've decided to call him Murphy.

I've done a review already for the film we watched last night, so now at 19/100 for our challenge, but another one here, with no idea how we have nearly got to October. I think for me it has been so weird with the Center parcs break, and then the kids having the staggered start for school and nursery, and then all the dog and Chacha stuff. I'm going to feel better going into October I think.

Morning everyone.

All i am going to say is i hate dixoms and will not shop with them again.

Managed a few surveys in my inbox this morning, and then had a walk to tesco to pick a few bits, it's a beautiful day here today, so washign is on theline, and done a bit of gardening, my Ipsos Am voucher can so that is now in my account, just popping on here before i head to the library with little one for Rhyme time, it is free and will pass an hour with her to keep her occupied.

Rufus - great news with FIL, and fab find on the fabric.

Michelle - Murphy is such a cute name, I remember a month or so ago i was out with my kids int he park and i heard the owner shouting come Chewwy, come chewbacca, and this little Chiwowa ( sorry cant spell) came running it made me crack up as i expected a monster of a dog, especially as the owner with this big butch quy.

Cornish - good luck with the driving test, it ook me 2 attempts, the second time I wnet with a different driving instructor had one lesson,and he just filled me with confidence, and he put me in for my test. I have everything crossed for you

Hope you are all having a great day so far

I've got an awful cold this week, I dont even know what I'm allowed to take, have doc appointment for repeat iron test tomorrow (great) so I might ask what I can have at the pharmacy there.

Blimin well failed didn't I!! You lot couldn't of been sending enough positive vibes lol. Only got 6 minors so the drive was really good apart from nearly going up the back of someone on the dual carriage way, was paying too much attention on overtaking! The blokey said I would of passed if it wasn't for that! Rebooked it again for beginning of november, ohwell

Pablosmummy

ah sorry cornish - but at least you know you CAN do it, it was just that one thing which was bad luck, and its not too long to wait until the next test!

cha97michelle

Oh no hon. It is a brill number for your minor faults there though. What a shame.

cornish.chick

Yeah thankfully it's not a 8 week wait like the last time. I was mega impressed I only got 6 minors, as I was going round I kept picking up my faults as I was doing them and it felt like loads!! Oh well, got 5 weeks to earn £142 to cover the next test haha, doubt thats going to happen!!

Pablosmummy

omg is it £142 for the test now!!?!
