Okay, okay... Due to frequent nagging, I'll put up what happened on my first driving lesson:
The instructor arrived at the house on time, amazing, considering usually nobody can find my house, but anyway first he went through all that boring stuff and the rules etc, then he drove up the Kingsway, which is a quiet country lane that runs almost along the border of my town.
Then I DROVE! Gasp!
I went along Kingsway, up the hill, followed the road round and turned left down Windermere Way, along there with all them stupidly parked cars, and past the Stourport High School. Luckily they still had a while left toill they finished, otherwise I'd have had to navigate through a mess of parents... *shudders*
Then I turned onto the main Minster Road, and back along into the Kingsway, where I was explained a few more things.
THEN, I went back up the hill, and instead of going down Windermere Way, we went straight down to Burlish Crossroads, and turned left at the traffic lights, they were on green so I didn't have to worry about stopping. But, I did almost go down the wrong side of the road because I didn't steer sharply enough... hehe.
Then I went along Bewdley road and turned into my street and went back to my house... Nothing major. Didn't kill anyone yet.
Part 2 coming soon...
(The lesson is tomorrow, so I should have it up by the end of the month...)

Uh oh... First drive lesson in 35mins...
You would not believe how nervous I am. I've been worse though, like when I have had to read something out in fron of the class when I went to school...
On a nervousness scale of 1 - 10, 1 being "Yay! I'm so happy!" and 10 being "Holy Sith, I'm gonna die..."
I'd say I am at about 8...

Well, it was raining this morning, and I was just thinking that Summer had finished already, when the sun reappeared and melted us all again.
I finally booked driving lessons! My first one is tomorrow... So when I told my grandad he said that both he and my mum were doorhandle/wing-mirror collectors when they were learning... Let's hope I take after my dad.
Also, someone I know is selling their Mini... I might buy it, but I dunno wheteher I can afford to take out the loan :/
And more good news! I'll be going up to £4.35 per hour at McD's, not brilliant, but could be worse :p
