I failed my driving test again yesterday. I was in such a blind panic I just couldn&#8217;t concentrate. Kathryn got back from work at about 12:20 and my driving test wasn&#8217;t until 14:00. Somehow at 13:30 we were driving back to our house to pick up the paper bit of my driving licence and the other documentation I&#8217;d forgotten. At 13:40 I was attempting to find a garage to put some fuel in my car! At 13:50 I was still looking for the test centre in Heysham, despite having been there once before. By the time I actually made it to my test was in a complete unprepaired flap! It was a complete miracle that I made it there at all. I wasn&#8217;t really suprised that I failed.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s just frustrating &#8217;cause I know that I often drive at test standard for a couple of hours at a time. When it comes to actually doing it in test conditions I fall to pieces. Who would have thought it!

Seemingly due to her inability to distinguish left from right! This has cheered me up a little.<\/p>\n<p>I will work on making sure that I am suitably prepared next time and if there is any justice it will be third time lucky!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I feel fed up.
