The news of the week is that I PASSED MY DRIVING TEST!! How amazing is that? I got one minor but that was for a very stupid reason to do with my nerves.
I was so amazed and happy to find out I'd passed because of course I had thought the worst all the way through the test because it is so nerve wreaking. I am glad I did it though because I almost cancelled it after a run in with my driving instructor. I would of called him a good close friend at one time but right now I don't know what to think of him or about him after he severly upset me days before my driving test. I hope to put it all in the past but I will see how things go, all I know now is that things can never be the same between us.
So now I am legal to drive alone and I made the most of it. I drove 100 miles over the weekend and I've not driven since Monday but I plan on doing some driving tomorrow even if it's just driving my dad to and from work so that I can have the car for a few hours. It is wonderful to have the freedom although I did want the car tonight and couldn't have it because my dad wanted it. I was saving for a car but spent most of my savings so now I am going to start saving again and get one in the summer. I know what I want, I want a corsa.
I am now talking again to someone I went to primary school with. It is so surreal. I can't get over it because I've not seen this person in 14 years and it was me falling out with my driving instructor that got us talking again. She came round for over two hours before my driving test and I saw her a couple of days ago because she came round and we took our dogs for a walk in Witton Park and are probably going to do the same tomorrow too. She is really nice and reminds me or myself so much. So I hope to spend more time with her although she doesn't have as much spare time as I've got because she is married with three children.
I am trying to think of my own business ideas because I'd love my own little business but I don't have a clue doing what though. I'm trying to think of ideas of something free or cheap to set up but I am still really stumped for ideas so I hope something comes to me soon.
I am also hoping to find a job where I work one day a week or a couple of half days, it will help me with my confidence and it will also give me a little cash each week which I need.
Well that's it for now but I hope to be back on soon.

Please Update Me!!
It would seem that I am getting bad at trying to keep up with my blog, I don't know what it going on but it's looking like I'm not going to be able to keep a weekly blog on here anymore because I just simply forget to come on here and do one so it's going to be a case of doing one as and when I remember.
Well a lot has been going on since my last blog, lots of driving lessons, falling out with my driving instructor because of his lies, shopping, working hard, decorating and so much other stuff and I don't know how I'm going to fit it all in, in the short time I planned on spending on this blog.
Firstly, let me start with my driving. Well it's really good and I'm loving it to be honest with you, I love getting behind the wheel and driving and my driving test is on Friday and I'm not dreading it but I am dreading seeing my driving instructor because we fell out yesterday because of somethings he said to me and he really hurt and upset and annoyed me. He left me so annoyed that I didn't know what to do with myself and had to go out for a long walk to help me calm down. I am a lot calmer today but I'm still very annoyed and upset about what went on and what was said and well I really don't want to see him on Friday...it's the last thing I want but it's my test so it looks like I've got to try and rise above it and act like an adult...it's funny because I was the only one acting like an adult on Monday.
So yeah it's on Friday and I was trying to keep that to myself but after what happened I ended up telling everyone that my test is on Friday and that I don't want to do it. My friend Emily talked me into doing it, I think if it wasn't for her I would of cancelled it. I just can't stand the thought of being in the car with him for 90 minutes, I'd rather pluck all my body hair one by one than sit with him again but after Friday I never have to see him again and that hurts but also it's good because the way he was with me yesterday is something that I don't need nor want in my life and it looks like I got him all wrong. He said his hands are clean but if they were any dirtier they'd be pitch black.
I started stripping the paper in the middle room a couple of weeks ago and it's been a nightmare to say the least. The bottom half came off easily but then the top half was a pain and it took days and days of steaming it to get it all done. I left maybe a quarter of it for my dad because I was just so sick of doing it and needed it out of the way. So now we are left with a very messy room that needs papering and painting and that is going to be done next week because all the contents of the front room are in there at the moment whilst we wait for a new carpet to be put down in the front room.
I've picked the colours and I've decided to get some wooden blinds for the middle room which of course means a trip to Ikea and I love going there. I need another DVD rack so it's all good and I love the fact it's open at midnight and yes I've been there at midnight before now.
My bedroom is almost 100% finished! I know it's been going on for months and months now and it was driving me round the bend so one day last week I went in there with my paint and I finished all the main parts and now there is just areas that need doing with the brush and my curtains need putting back up and well the ceiling does need doing but that is going to wait because I just want to enjoy the walls and woodwork being finished after all this time.
I also finished the bathroom, I just painted the doors and it looks amazing now, much better than it did before and I think once we get a new blinde up in there it will look heaps better so that's all that needs to be bought for it.
I bought myself a new laptop. I had one for about 5/6 months and barely used it because we couldn't get the wireless router working and well I mainly wanted it for when I was in my bedroom or when I was sat on the computer at night and I ended up getting rid of it in the end because no matter what we tried it wouldn't work.
But then for months I was wishing I still had one because I got sick of sitting at my desk for long hours typing away online to friends after spending some of the day working at the computer. It got dull and boring as well as causing a lot of pain in my wrists and neck/back.
I felt so guilty about spending so much on myself, I am so used to spending my money on everyone else that spending that sort of money on myself was something I don't do and I had to go away for a few hours and give it some serious thought and even as I was walking out the shop with the laptop I was still feeling so guilty about spending so much on myself. I love the laptop, I am always on it during the evening...sometimes I will go on there instead of my desktop but a lot of the time I will go on my desktop until a certain time and then swap to the laptop. But the last week I've mainly been starting on my laptop and finishing on my laptop.
Oh yeah we are getting a new carpet because my dad burnt the last one and if it wasn't for me the whole house would of gone up in flames. He put the paint stripper heat gun on top of the shredder and some how it fell off and turned itself on and started a fire which I smelt and put out. He said he couldn't smell a thing but it was so strong that I had to open all the windows and the smell took forever to go. I don't think he realises just how serious the situation was and just says it was an accident but I was seconds from getting into the shower so I am glad I didn't go now because he wouldn't of smelt it and the room would of been on fire before he realised anything was wrong.
So now I've had to spend hours emptying this room, all the books ans folders and everything else, so I can have a new carpet put down and I don't appreciate having to be so put out by the hours I'm having to spend moving things around and I've told him to be more careful in future because it just isn't funny.
