    Not yet. I need to put down my novels and start focusing on my theory more. In the meantime, I need to continue building up my confidence. It's taken me 6 months to leave the area I initially had my lessons in, I need to build on that and then learn the rest of my manoeuvres.

    When I think of how I was when I first started learning with Bob, I can see how far I've come. Thursday for example, I started great but made a mistake that completely threw me. I started flapping and making mistakes; indicating wrong, forgetting to cancel my indicator and struggling to get my gear while I drove the new bit of the circuit. Bob pointed out that I was tensing up so I took a few deep breaths, started doing a commentary drive and asked to do it again as I'd managed to relax enough to get pretty much everything right. I just need to remember that gentler bends don't cancel the indicator. Even just month ago I would have had to pull over and stop.

    I'm really enjoying driving, I'm so pleased that J talked to his friend about my lessons as I think I would have quit completely if I'd stuck with her.

    2 more sleeps and my course starts. I'd be lying if I said I was completely relaxed about it but I can deal with that Monday

    Ever so slightly stressed. My sister in 30 today. Apparently when my mum rang her this morning to wish her happy birthday, she kicked off about her presents, pretty much saying that they weren't special, they never bothered asking what she wanted and the only one who got her a special present was me. That our brother gave her money and a voucher for a meal and he'd babysit. My mum pointed out that they've offered loads to babysit and always been told no. She then went on to have a go at my mum for not asking how they all were and turning everything back to her, she never asks about the baby etc. My mum came up to tell me as she was feeling low so I went downstairs and told my dad. He ordered her presents, not my mum. I'm sick of my mum always getting grief off her.

    So much for trying to stay calm today, my anxiety is sky high now.

    Well done for getting her something special! It sounds incredibly rude of her to kick off like that. Your poor Mum and poor you!
