How are you today?

[IanSaysHi]

Excited. Now I've got my provisional driving licence, things are just snowballing (in a good way), with my first lesson next week and my theory test a couple of weeks after that. I had a mini practice for the first time in a friend's car yesterday in a car park, it wasn't scary, just strange I think because for so many years I thought I'd never be in the driver's seat of a car. Also I'm going to have to really train my brain about the clutch and pedals - I'm not the most co-ordinated person to start with, and I'm very knee-jerk in my reactions. I didn't realise how lightly you had to tap the pedals, another thing I'll have to get used to.

Another thing I'll have to get used to is budgeting. Being single without commitments of any kind except rent has mean I've been spending money like no tomorrow, but driving is expensive... I'm saving like mad

Finally I put on a load of weight over Xmas and managed to shed it so yes, feels my very happy right now which is nice after that awful mood I was in last month. Thanks for everyone who put up with me moaning :p
