Passed at last!

Insomnia has struck again for the first time in a while so I thought I'd pop online for a little update...

Yay, passed my test on Georgies birthday 19/1.  Thomas told me the morning of the 27/12 (which was my wedding anniversary, also the forth time I failed), 'You will pass next time Mum', and he was right (it would seem that the 27/12 is my personal Friday the 13th and I shouldn't set out to succeed at anything on that particular day!).  When I picked them up from school and told them both the first thing he said was 'I told you so', I have never seen him so positive about anything in his life it was bizarre. 

A lot had to be said for meditation too as I am pretty sure that is what got me through.  I was told by a friend to take some beta-blockers but figured driving drug induced would probably not be the best way to tackle anything, especially those miserable instructors.  I was also pretty worried that they would become a  driving tool like glasses and I would have to result in pill popping every time I get into the car, which obviously isn't the best idea ever so drug taking was out but the meditation has stuck.

I should have started the meditation years ago it is great I am so much more patient and calmer.  I am not going to start ranting about meditating but if you do need some peace in your life, it is definately worth a look!

Anyway the driving lark has only taken me 20 years but I got there in the end... although I did think thought the instructor was only joking when she had said I had passed. 

I have a car now which also feels really good, (its not the first one I have ever had but the less said about that the better!)  I keep looking out of the window to check because I can't quite believe its mine.    

On another note South Africa and the Safari has been booked for the 1st of April so I will keep you posted when I have all the holiday pictures!
