    What time's the lesson? (Ben is going at 330 - 530 and it's peeing it down here too!)

    Drink?

    How did it go?
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    3pm. It's only an hour. And this morning J mentioned talking to his parents when I've got some lessons under my belt and seeing if they'll put me on their insurance so he can take me out to practise. Their cars are smaller than his and not poorly!

    Jaq when my eldest was learning we were able to get insurance that covered him and not a specific car. It meant he could go out with me in my car or with his dad. I think the company was called marmalade or something like that. They specialise in learners insurance. Might be worth looking into depending on the size of quote you get. X
    Good luck, you'll love driving once you get started. And don't worry about the rain, instructors are very experienced in all weather's. X

    My parents have said no outright to me practising in their car and my brother has said no to going on his insurance. I'll look into that! Thank you!!!

    I have a headache now...

    I'm too old for that one... (that's depressing!) But I have found one. Texted my brother..."So you know you said ages ago about taking me out in your car but then said about insurance...." and sent him the link!

    Apparently I'm subtle as a brick!

    Hope you've had a great time Jaq!

    Only 3 or 4?? Sweetheart, I’ve managed to stall my automatic car, which I’ve been told by many people is completely impossible. Your instructor will expect you to stall
