ARGHSeeing as this is a new area I will make good use and say ARGH about getting to and from work.
2 buses and a 20 minute walk, which can total 90 minutes to 2 hours, in all weathers for a journey that takes 10 minutes in a car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hence why I am buying Jim his provision licence when I get paid on Friday!!!!!

Do you not fancy learning to drive too Dawn?
The best thing I ever did (appart from marrying Gary of course) was learning to drive

Jim is going to first and then me when he has passed.

Sounds good! It totally changes your lifestyle being able to drive!
|

I was about to say the same! It changes your daily life as you can get on with things like shopping a lot quicker! Andy wasn't keen to drive initially but I think he's considering it now

I'd be fed up with a journey like that too Dawn , hurry up and pass Jim and then you can pass too Dawn!
i wouldn't be without my car - i prefer to walk to the school (15mins) and town (20-25mins) but it's great to jump in the car if the weather is crap or if you just can't be bothered!!!!!!

God, that's a bad journey!
Mine can take upto an hour in the car on a bad day - it's a 17/18 minute drive usually though!! Unfortunately, there are no buses or anything on our route, so I have to get up and drive even if I'm poorly!
Mike's very nearly going to put in for his test though, so two drivers soon and he can take himself off to work when I'm poorly!

I cant wait for Jim to be driving - so much so I have promised to buy him a car when he passes.
I will pick and pay and he can drive it - that seems a fair deal to me.

sounds like a fair deal Dawn - will it be pink 
|
MrsG-L
|
Maybe not, Black probably
|

Black with those fluffy pink things inside????
Hey, when one of you is driving you can meet up more often!!!! WOOHOO!
|

If it's going to be black, it has to have pink accessories!

gosh thats certainly a long journey timewise dawn, I agree with CK learning to drive was one of the best things ive done, it has certainly given me freedom here although I did have to get the confidence to do it here first.

I have a pink steering wheel and Mike drives my car now too! With L plates on and me in the passenger seat of course.

Not sure on the Pink things, I think Jim wants a 'man's' car!

Driving is the best skill to have I say, I need to get MrG driving asap as I travel 40 mins on a morning to take him to work and then a further 30 mins to get me to work.
The only up side is it actually saves money at the moment as he would have to get a train and a bus on a morning.
