I am just crap at doing manoeuvres. We drove all the way to Taunton to practise. So the next two lessons we are staying in my town and gonna do nothing but parallel parking, reversing round corners etc. Which is great cos I really do need more practise.
My instructor is gonna book my test, he is not gonna tell me when its for, I just have to be prepared and take driving license and theory certificate with me every lesson, as soon as he tells me that it is booked. That way I don't have weeks and weeks to worry over it.
He will just pick me up as usual and off to the test centre we will go!
Today was lesson hour 29 & 30

Lesson hour 27 & 28
Really Good Lesson, actually quite enjoyed it.
Drove to and through Taunton, which is much busyier than my town. Yes I still stalled the car a few times by not giving enough gas when pulling away. But I am really proud of how it went today.
Even got to talking about booking my test. Said it wont be long, and there is already a 6 week waiting list, so I recon by the summer holidays are here, I will be attempting it.
Today I even had to park in a public car park for real, whilst my instructor popped into a shop - cheeky monkey!!
No lesson next week, as my instuctor is off golfing, but I have another booked for the following week on the Wednesday
At least I am smiling today, after my lesson, which is a major improvement on last weeks

Driving Lesson, hours 25 & 26
Well it was such a bad lesson, anyone would think it was only hour 3.
I kept forgetting to look in rear view mirror, forgetting to put the clutch down when i was braking, therefore stalling about 6 times.
I couldnt get anything right today.
I think my instructor could tell I was a bit dis-heartened, cos he said that we would still plod on and for me not to loose any sleep over this morning.
I did do staggered junctions today, and I think I did them okay.
Will be driving through Taunton town centre next week, lots of slow moving traffic!!

Good Bye Punto
I have decided to sell my car. I am not giving up learning, its just that my car does not have power steering, it has a larger engine than I am learning in, and I havent even sat behind the steering wheel in it, for 5 weeks now.
It seems such a waste.
So I have a buyer, he is giving me the same price as Hubby paid for it, so we havent lost out there.
I will spend £100 on myself (as the car was a birthday present) and bank the rest, for when i do pass my test and then put it towards another one. One i can test drive myself!!
Hubby bought me that one with the best intentions, but its just not suited to me, and the pain in my foot whilst I am driving it is horrendous.

Driving Lesson hours 23 & 24
Just got back from todays lesson. Didnt go too bad, bearing in mind I havent driven in 2 weeks.
I also havent driven my own car in about 4 weeks. Think I will sell it as I am not comfortable driving it, it has no power steering and the accelorator pedal gives me cramp in the front of my foot. Its such a waste of a car, sat there doing nothing. I can always get another one, when and if I pass my test.
Well today we dealt with narrow roads with cars parked both sides, and having to deal with oncoming traffic. I think i got there in the end.
Much the same next week he says.
Also have a problem going from 5th gear into 4th, keep going into 2nd. Gotta practise that lots too.
