So as a Londoner I never bothered learning to drive in my youth, after all I lived near the tube & where would I drive too.
However after having DC1 I thought right I need to get on this plus friends had started to move out of London. I had about 25 hours & booked my test but didn't feel particularly confident. Unfortunately the night before the test DC1 had to go into hospital (all was ok) & due to the doctors strike we were not discharged until 3am. I cancelled my test & fully believed I would re book it asap. Life got in the way & before I knew it I was pregnant with DC2. It was a very hard pregnancy so lessons were not possible.
Roll on Oct 17 & I realised my theory was expiring in Nov 17. Mad panic but I managed to book myself on a 30 hour intensive course with the test scheduled for the last day. Now it was automatic (lose points for this) & very intense but I managed to pass this weekend with 1 minor in busy busy Lewisham.
I've seen some threads recently about lessons & just wanted to say as someone in their mid 30s you can do it too! Plus I've just driven the family car to my mums & the supermarket. 😄
