Very happy birthday to the boy! The Children’s Mother’s son is car mad with one to drive and another to rebuild into some sort of racing car. We even found a stash of car parts secreted in his room!

Sweet dreams…!

It took me 4 times to pass my driving test, so let’s hope he’s as crap as me so you’ll have plenty of time to save up.

Happy 17th to him!

..and big hugs for you xx

Make sure he has had a good few lessons before you let him any where near your lovely shiny car. xJ

Bloody hell – nothing so rigorous here – but given we have snow and ice outside and nobody has a bloody clue how to drive in it – we should have more training I suspect. Lx

Yeah, lessons are pretty expensive. I got 400quids worth of vouchers for the BSM for my 21st birthday and could just about manage to get up into 3rd gear and stop by the time I’d gone through that little lot and then couldn’t afford to buy myself any more lessons for a while. My lessons here in Finland cost me close to 1400euros. Here you have a standard course that everyone must take before attempting a test and anyone who wants to help you practice outside of lessons must take a test to show they are competent to teach you and they must get the car for practicing converted to dual controls!! But, I can drive in the snow and ice and passed 1st time so I guess it was worth it!
