    Grrr.
  • One advantage of being old is that I have D1 as standard. Are you going to drive a minibus?
    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D

  • I was diagnosed with a very mild non dangerous kind of epilepsy. Stupidly did the right thing and surrendered my licence for a year.

    I quite fancy doing hgv at some point.
  • That's brave, Elephant!

    The minibus is so I can take my sixth formers to things (=extra, unpaid hours).

    Entering our last week of no alcohol. Started 30th August, barring one night we have been booze free.
