    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

    That's the plan.

    The infuriating thing is, being old I HAD D1 as standard.

    How did you lose it? (Visions of crazy minibus driving by SHS in her youth....)

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

    Still paying the price more than a decade later.

    Will the minibus driving lead to fun things, or extra curricular at work? Hope it isn't too much more of a pain.

    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.
