My goals for 2014 are


1. Finish and submit my dissertation DONE
2. Finish my Tefl course - will be started come September
3. Pay off the credit cards - £4500 - Now stands at 3700
4. Declutter and reorganise the whole house. - It is a process
5. Save 5000. - have saved 1000
6. Be good at my job - be organised, confident. - hmm maybe 50% done!
7. Get and keep a boyfriend. a honest loyal tall funny kind solvent man. Not a freaking chance!
8. Loose two stone. - nope nothing. nada.
9. Complete a half marathon - not going to happen. May attempt one early next year. Have to say doing the 5KM in baking heat and getting Sunstroke put me off!
10. Drive on the motorway - not happened yet but possible.
11. Make and keep male friends - trying. have a couple.

12. Write. everyday. - yes have done this.


So not too bad. things I need to work on. There are things I have done. Am ok with it.
Shattered now, this being hungover is tiring!

Hello Buffy,

I’m a long-time lurker on these boards, but I wanted to say how much I enjoy your diary. You write very well, and it feels really real, and that makes a big difference. So first of all, thank you.

Secondly, I wondered if I could help you out with one thing on your list. This one:

Drive on the motorway.

Just so you know, I am a similar age to you, and I only passed my driving test in March 2012, so it’s not like I have been driving for years. And I was a nervous driver – so, so nervous. Like lots of new drivers, the thought of going on a motorway was inconceivable to me. Surely I would end up stranded at the end of a sliproad, or the car would just…explode. Or we’d hit 70 and I would explode. Or something.

Anyway, because of where I live, my satnav did not share this view, and started routing me on to the motorway pretty early on. So I HAD to do it. And you know what? Motorway driving is now my favourite thing. And this year I managed to drive in Florida and Austria, and I think the fact that I was confident on motorways by then really helped (I am boasting about my driving exploits not to show off, but to show that anyone can do this. I know so because I did it and I never would have thought I could.)

So if you have specific concerns do feel free to say (sliproads? Lorries? spontaneous combustion?) and I will see I can help. If I can do it at the age of 36 in a Honda Jazz, then you certainly can.

Keep on it!

Don't some driving schools now do motorway lessons? That might help you. Once you've done it once you'll wonder why you worried. I wouldn't recommend the M25 for your first try though.
