Grrr to the test, I'm annoyed for you!!! Your positive attitude to everything is great though, good for you. I hope you manage to book a test soon and get the result you DESERVE this time. Nobody can take away your staying power, well done for not throwing the towel in.
Have a good weekend.

Hi Donna,
Just popped in to read your thread and noticed you were taking kalms for your driving test, just to say that its not a great idea because they contain valerian which can make you drowsy. Best thing to use (what i used for my test) is Rescue Remedy as it has no side effects. Hope you dont mind me barging in here with advice but i would hate to read this and not comment in case its the kalms that are affecting your concentration and therefore your test result.
i wish you the best of luck for your next test. x0 -

Heya BOB! What a utter mare...I really thought I had passed as well, never had that feeling before either! I hope the weekend goes better...trains to my dad aren't looking good, so annoying as he is only half an hour away but looks like it is gonna take me about 1 hour 1/2 to get there and 2 hours to get home...mad
Emily was in a bit of a funny mood tonight. She wouldn't eat any tea and was acting a little odd...hard to explain but just not herself. Mmmm I think she might be missing MSN and the computer but tough! Hopefully this weekend will keep her occupied and cheer her up a bit?
My moods seem to be all over the shop at the mo, was feeling really good and now feel on a bit of a downer...I think that I am probably too lonely and don't like it. Least I have you guys on here! :T Dunno where I would be without you lot! xxx:j 'Proud To Be Dealing With My Debts' - DFW Nerd member 866 :j0 -

Tell me about it! :rolleyes: I think I have had quite possibly, the worst week of my life...soooo upset about things. No one to share it with as boyf is away travelling for a few weeks so that is a shame
I miss him like crazy.
I really hope Emily's mood improves by tomorrow...she was acting really odd tonight, can't put my finger on it but it better improve for everyones sake!
Looking forward to the gym, have started working on the weights to try and tone up and get a bit more muscley, not like Arnie or anything, just get rid of a bit of the flab and get more defined. Should help with the running too! I have decided to bin the routine I was working with as got too intense and I didn't want to go out as was getting too much, so have opted just to run 3 times a week making sure that by Septmeber I can manage the distance and not run for a set time, just to enjoy it which is what it is all about! Feeling a lot happier about it now as just whack my trainers on and do a few miles here and there and am not constantly clock watching, minute mile watching etc, lot more chilled! Going to the gym should help anyway so not worried about times anymore, just want to run to make me happy! Hopefully the gym will be dead on Saturday as most students have gone home for the summer and the staff won't be at work. My gym is at the Uni where I work so get a good deal! xxx:j 'Proud To Be Dealing With My Debts' - DFW Nerd member 866 :j0 -

Heya KM,
Have been looking at tests and nowt till mid August which is what I expected. Will book something on Monday and keep checking each day for cancellations, that is all I can do. I have been sooooo tempted to jack the lot in, but getting this far would mean that I would loose an awful lot
So just gotta keep plodding on and hope for some luck one day...xxx :j 'Proud To Be Dealing With My Debts' - DFW Nerd member 866 :j0 -
What about the coach service? Would that be any better?
I know what you mean about moody kids i have two teenage daughters, and my son has recently developed a good line in i hate my dad sulks! Don't know wht, i think it is because he has overheard us and taken my side..but i would never put the kids in the middle or ask them to take sides..so will leave them to sort it out for themselves.
loneliness is a bummer, i can feel for you in that respect and i think that this site is great for taking you out of yourself.
I wouldnt worry too much about Emily you were right in stopping her computer access..safety first and all that..she will thank you in the future.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?

Heya Moneymabel,
Didn't know that! I often wondered what they put in the things as I can tell they affect me a bit as thought at one point maybe they were just a big con! I know that they help with the nerves as I don't get that anymore but dunno if that is due to the tablets or because I have sat so many tests now! I will take a look at the Rescue Remedy...do you know if you have to take it for so long before you see an effect? Thanks for the advice :T xxx:j 'Proud To Be Dealing With My Debts' - DFW Nerd member 866 :j0 -

I know they do a bus to Chippenham but don't think it is very regular and would mean getting to Broadmead first and on a Sunday I think they would be even less regular. My folks are the only reason I want to drive, would be so much easier, it's ridiculous!
Moody kids are something else...it must be the lack of the computer which is hitting her hard. There is no way after the issues I had earleir this week, that she is going on MSN etc for a long while. I have had problems which have resulted in me removing and closing down all of her community sites like Bebo etc had to be done. She was whinging about being bored this evening and spent most of the night watching tele and tomenting the cat! And then me! Grrrrrr! They can be so difficult at times! The loneliness is a bummer, I wish that I had lots of mates here that I could meet with, have over etc but don't really have anyone bar one or two friends which live quite a way off. Suppose that I don't really have much in common with most people my age due to having to grow up mega fast for Emily and I don't know of anyone with any debt problems either...all I seem to get is people commenting that 'should you be buying that with all your debt' etc...what is all that about? :mad: Muppets! xxx:j 'Proud To Be Dealing With My Debts' - DFW Nerd member 866 :j0 -
True, they are also being hypocritical i would imagine as well when they are saying that.
Is it worth moving and perhaps trying to find a job in Chippenham, so you can be nearer your family?
I wonder if ther is anything at the college there? Or even in Bath as it would only be a short commute from Chippenham..just thinking aloud.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?
