Out of the waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!!!!!!!

Look!!! its me!!!!!

Well, almost. Today I got back behind the wheel of a car for the first time in... well a whole lot of years that I don't really want to count!
I was 17 when my Dad taught me to drive (around Tesco car park in Cleckheaton) and now I'm 33 so you work it out cos I'm pretending not to remember! LOL

My driving instructor is called Lee and he's a little older than me, he's nice but unfortunately he does NOT resemble Mr Tennant above and I'm afraid thats just not good enough!! There was I, under the impression that driving instructors are to look like my beloved David (albeit in geeky form...it matters not to me) but alas no *le sigh*.
Still... its probably a good thing, I would NEVER have been able to concentrate with David Tennant at the dual controls! I'd be a road menace! heheheh

Anyhoo... I decided I liked it that much that I'm gonna do it again!! might even do a test or two and buy me a car...mmmmhmmm...ya... me..owning a car! Oooh... pink fluffy dice and pink seat covers....PINK CAR!!!!!!!! Rich would never get in it would he? Remind of this fact, I may need it later ;)

So I went driving and not only did I drive around Sainsbury's car park (which was fun but let's face it, its not Tesco's in Cleckheaton and I'm not 17 and terrified anymore either...) and then down some road somewhere (scarily observant aren't I?) and I have to admit, it wasn't long before it was all coming back to me so even though I was having a smidge more than a gigantic meltdown at 9am this morning I was soon feeling much better and I'm quite proud of myself too.

So, Lee's a pretty busy guy, I'm booked in for next lesson on 2nd October and I'm doing them in 2 hour blocks weekly at the mo, but I can't wait for the next one and am practising at home with the dinner plate and wooden spoon (stop laughing I'm serious heh), its exciting isn't it?!?!?!
