    Nothing is so fatiguing as the eternal hanging on of an uncompleted task. William James
  • :mad: :mad: :mad: what a complete pain. Its luck and relying on the nerves not taking over on the day. So frustrating when you know you can do it.

    Keep going don't give up thats the best attitiude. Book again as soon as possible money permitting of course.

    Have a good night
  • Sorry to hear that she failed boredofbeingathome :( I hope he had far to walk! That's awful. Will she be trying again? It's so hard as you just loose all motivation for it. I have been learning for nearly a year and it just gets sooo much. Especially when you see so many lunatics out there and you know that you can drive better than them. :( I hope I don't get the first guy again...he was horrible. The second one wasn't so bad. Thanks for the good luck from both you and Ellidee. Not many people know that I am retaking it again so soon after I failed last time, thought it easier as nowt worse than everyone going oooooh what a big shame! My brother knows and has asked if I pass that I keep it quiet from my dad and surprise him on Saturday when I go down and see them! That would be funny!
    I am still waiting to hear back from Abbey about my card application, I hope they hurry up! My fella is going away tomorrow night and will be away for a week and a half...I am gonna miss him! But me and Emily will be able to slob out a lot more so that's a bonus! :D Gonna try and get an early night tonight and try and get a good nights sleep. I have to do the dam washing up first through...rubbish! I can't wait to be debt free and get me a dishwasher...yay! One day! xxx
    Yes, he had a long walk back- sorry you failed today, it's cruel really but he seemed very nice and reassuring. I have a friend who swears by Bach's rescue remedy- a few drops on the tongue and a couple of paracetamols, although i don't advocate the last bit. My daughter is putting back in for her test at the beginning of March. She is also tired at moment as working two jobs and Uni is quite heavy going at moment. She is studying English and Media studies at falmouth- I can't wait to go down to see her and i usually stop off at my brother's in Chippenham- so kill two birds with one stone.
    Blackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?

    Chippenham! That's where I am originally from! Moved to Bristol to go to University! I love Chippenham soooooo much! Am popping back there on Saturday to see my Dad! He always has lots of food! :D And me and Emily are always hungry!

    (((((Donna)))) sorry you didnt pass today, had everything crossed for you too. I definately swear by rescue remedy, at my Dads funeral I had a fair bit and it got me through the day and I felt so calm.
    Here's to the next test 4th time lucky :)

    Finally Debt Free...
  • Thanks Sallyx, sorry to hear the reason behind why you used it. I hadn't heard of it before and just googled it, sounds like it should help do the trick. I suppose I worry about things like that, that you could get addicted to them, especially if your life is generally stressful.
    I have been trying to have a relaxing evening. My boyfriend has gone away now on his holiday, so won't see him for about a week and a half. I will miss him terribly. I have been sat watching spendaholics, interesting program. I really can't wait till I can become debt free. I hate the way that I feel that this debt free journey is gonna be a hard slog for so many years. But then on the positive side at least it is getting sorted out now! It just seems that as I only get paid once a month, I can only pay things off then and just wish that it was a continual thing rather than sitting waiting for payday every month. I need to think of some free things that me and Emily can do at the weekends, to help keep us occupied. During the week it's fine as I am at work all day and me and Em's spend the evening chilling out. We are off to Chippenham on Saturday to see my dad, then we will pop to Devizes to see my brother and his gorgeous baby! I love my dad and brother sooooo much and my cutey nephew too. I am so proud of my brother, he has done so well for himself, has a lovely house and little family, car, holidays etc and no debt too! One day me and Em's will be like that! Yay!

    :j What a coincidence, my bro used to live on St. Pauls st near train station and has now moved to Christian Malford- posh or what!!! I love it round there, the pubs are friendly and i totally indulge in all the wonderful national trust properties and free movie sights, He has his offices in laycock- i just love it there:D We always go to Longleat, even though kids are teenagers now and have spoken to Lord Bath and the presenters of animal park in the past. You are so lucky- i want to live round there as well:T

    Wow!!!! :j I go running down there, near the train station! Lacock is GORGEOUS! I go there a lot with my dad, we go to a lovely pub...Red Lion I think it is called! Longleat is great too, everywhere in Wiltshire is! I would love to move back there one day. Bristol is great as it always has stuff going on but it doesn't compare with the 'ham! My dad lives in Pewsham which is in the outer 'ham area, Devizes is nice too. I love going back there cause as soon as I pull in at the train station I feel like I am home again!

    Oh Donna my sister used to live in Devizes and I love all that area around, can understand why you would want to move back there one day
