    Well I've agen not done much money making can't seem to get my but into gear to do it!! I should qualify this month in work but have been told they can only keep me in to cover another girls maternity and that's if my attendance improves but it's not really going to as I'm still struggling with my depression and panic attacks especially while I'm there so looks like I'll be out of a job by end of April!! My gran is very ill as is my uncle then to top it off my bf uncle just found out he has cancer and has between 6 months and 5 years if he has kemo which he due to start on Monday so my oh is devistated as his uncle has brought him up!!

    Sorry to hear about your troubles Kayandi but well done on passing your theory test. My YD is swotting up for hers, she isnt 17 yet and is going to have lessons for her birthday so I bought her the dvla book and told her to be learning it all so she has a head start. We went out Sunday in the car and she sat in the front and we were pointing out signs and things for her to see if she knew what they were, she is doing well so far.

    That's very good I was ment to have lessons for my 17th but spent the money and only started in September as my oh uncle is a driving instructor so he does them!! I never even picked up a dvla book till Christmas!! It's easy if you know it the hardest is the hazard as its a video but I'm sure she will be fine especially if she is doing it already x

    I would dread to ask the price of driving lessons now adays, be worse when Miss Hoodie be old enough, I remember moaning about the cost of mine (back in 1988), I had the 10 lessons for my birthday, we had discount from the driving instructor as he had taught mum, I was then paying £6.00 ph, his standard rate was £7.00 ... xx
