    Oooh good luck with the driving test! I won't tell anyone. :silenced:

    With regards to the job, congrats! However it is a low wage and since you have obscene amounts of experience compared to a monkey like me, are you sure that there isn't a better paying job around the corner? You could get some additional work through odesk or peopleperhour. Unless this is genuinely an opportunity that you want to do and/or would lead to better things/salary.
  • Well done on all fronts! How many lessons will you have had by February! Took me ages to pass my test, I only did one 2 hour lesson a week though :)

    And on the salary front even if you have to go in at the bottom bracket it's always easier to get a pay increase once you're in the door!

    I will be upto about 34 hour by the time I do my test.

    I did some years ago so had a wee bit of a head start.

    I think the role seems really good so will definitely take it either way.

  • Had another driving lesson this morning & it was my first mock test.

    It would have been a fail but that is ok because now I know where I need to make improvements.

    He recorded 8 serious faults & 9 minors.

    Mostly it was when I was doin the independant parts of the test.

    Cannot wait to see my mock tests improve then go for it in a real test.

  • Passed my driving test first time today!!!!!!

    Also got a job now I would love Monday to Friday but that is impossible these days so Sunday to Thursday will have to do.

    Start my new job on 3rd march so still have a wee bit of time off.
