    Hope all goes well tomorrow.

    I now reverse onto my drive and in the bad weather I park right up at the top beside the road so that if weather not good I can hopefully just drive out.2 years ago was stuck in for 15 days.

    I am going to be the odd one out here :o
    I always reverse into a parking space. I don't know why, I just find it easier to reverse in and drive out. It's not handy in the supermarket when trying to get the shopping in the boot, but still I do it. :o

    Good luck Rising!:)
    Debt free (finally) and saving a deposit for my first home.
  • Oh wow! You lot .... :D thank you for all the lovely good wishes:)

    Pleased to say - 1st day over .... I was starting to feel tired after an hour & a half :o but managed to survive the 4 hours:T

    Journey in was OK and a bit worse coming home (getting really windy) - had to park in the long stay car park (at the back of a supermarket) and was a bit worried I'd not get back out (snow filled spaces & uphill:eek:) but winter tyres grip fantastically :T

    Not sure where I'll leave it tomorrow as expect it'll be worse then:eek:

    Reversed into the drive again :) made a total hash of it ... not one ... not two ... but multiple times :o (there's a blind spot that I can't see round!) hope none of my neighbours were watching or they'd have had a right laugh!

    Had Maisie for her walk - it was OK going but when I turned round to come back the snow was horizontal in my face and the wind horrid :(

    Glad to be in the house ... and even more glad that I don't need to go out again today!:)

    Debating a wee snooze - but don't want to not sleep tonight .... mmmmm
