How far have you driven?

I've just realised that I've not driven our car since 18th March, 5 weeks ago. Since then, we obviously went into lockdown, and as we don't work (retired), we've only been popping to the supermarket once a week, for which DH drives (and now goes alone). This is a whopping 5 mile round trip, on urban roads. So glad we have…

Now the rules have changed, I'm planning a short drive out, just for a few miles, to "keep my eye in" and give the car a run. (and of course to stop somewhere to exercise on the way! )

I'll just be sticking to the "B" roads for now....will work my way back up from there. I don't feel like I've lost confidence, as it's not been that long, but I want to get back out there.

How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 2.60% of current retirement "pot" (as at end May 2025)
