After the excitement of passing my test, yesterday dragged in at work!

Still, the last few weeks have been fairly productive:

• Boiler timer replaced (no more utility bill snafus)
• Driving test passed, have decided to take Pass Plus lessons for the confidence boost (another £138 and then no more money to spend on my driving lessons :j)
• All my Zopa money lent out (now at £315)
• ISA transferred, shaving 2%+ off the fees
• Paid the ISA fees for last month
• Quite a few NSD, making up for the damage done by expensive one-off stuff that's been happening
• Replaced light bulbs with non-LED energy saving ones, making our home a brighter, more welcoming place

Still to come:

• Mrs E still needs driving lessons (another £200+)
• We'll need insurance (easily £1k+ for the two of us, probably more like £1,500 :eek:)
• We'll need to start saving for a car replacement and repairs (allowing c. £200/mth for this)

I found Pass Plus to be well worth the money. Well done btw! :T

Well done on passing your driving test :T:T:j:j

Is mid-forties too late to start? I have been a champion of lifelong learning though, so may be it is now the best time to start learning to drive :eek:

Well, I had a 12 year gap between the first time I started and this time, so it's never too late to learn

DH passed at 44.
