During my test I bumped up the kerb reversing round the corner and I stalled in the middle of a junction. But the examiner told me I reminded him of a girl he was one in love with and passed me. Highly unprofessional for him, but great for me!

Got one other minor fault and was gobsmacked it was such a doddle but I think if I hadn't made a big mistake I would have been so nervous I would have made a million others

..yeah, I guess like everything, everyone is different but driving tests are so terrifying..I think it's the examiner because they don't seem to haver any emotions at all.....

He was like my councilor as well as my instructor

..I just went all to heck on my first test and crashed at a roundabout and the test was stopped..(obviously..)..then I completely lost my confidence in driving and it was around 10 years before I started to drive again but the instructor was so amazing, I passed first time then ..I didn't think I had passed though because I did do a few things wrong...

..yeah, I do actually think it's a good thing not to drive home afterwards, I drove both of the boys to the centre and waited for them but they did drive off to see their friends after an hour or so...I think they spent Ł9708697 on petrol the first few days just visiting everyone...

If you take a test in your instructors car you are not insured once you've passed that's why they have to drive you back...

I just want some nice cereal but she keeps buying lots of bread. Also she bought like 200grams of minced beef and no other meat for the whole week! I just want to eat healthily and it's entirely possible with low income but she makes it impossible, I have told her many times already. I was able to buy a bit of food to last for the past two days and I had two lovely dinners, beef chow mein and a beef stir fry with rice, but all of the stuff I bought is used up now.

He never said that to me, he just told me it wouldn't be safe to drive because of the emotions and adrenaline i was going through

I've had ****ty toothache for a week so haven't slept much and I've got a bad back

I thought you were meant to feel better when you have a job

Morrissey, that cat is adorable. It's right up there with AnnieK's cat, Glenn's rabbit and... I think it's Conzors, the two dogs doing a selfie.

...would your mum not let you do the shopping Jess and you could buy the more healthy stuff and then it would be less for her to do as well..?..
