What can I do to make it as comfortable as possible? On an excellent day I could maybe do it in 45mins but if there is an accident it would take around 1.5 hrs or longer. Im used to my commute being 15 mins Sad Public transport links awful too so I have to drive.

I will be leaving at 7am and when I get to work it will be rushing around for the day until I leave at 4:30pm.

So far im thinking of buying a nice thermos so I can have my morning tea on the way. Im trying to lose weight and be healthy so don't want to have a supply of sweets but do need something in the car due to being light headed if I miss eating. Not sure what to have. Im trying to also find something good to listen to if I can connect my phone up.

Anything else I can do to make it not awful?

I've also cleaned the car out and polished it to make it feel less shit!

For me, I always had a Cardigan so was warm enough if was nippy. A thermal mug with tea and a banana minimum! Some sweets!
I listened to pod casts, radio 4 or audio books, as well as chatting to friends to catch up!
Make sure your Google maps is upto date and if there's any part of the route not covered have a paper map in case of road closures and needing to find an alternative route last minute (happened to me!)
Practically, make sure you have road recovery and basic ability to help yourself in case of breakdown.

What is the commute Is it mainly motorway driving or rural roads. How often will there be an accident.

I only ask as my to the office commute is half an hour and I think it’s quite short. But we love rurally and getting anywhere is half and hour.

I do drive a lot for worth though. If you’re trying to be healthy could you make a breakfast wrap or egg muffin the night before and have some cut up apple in a bag.

Have a thermos will help.

I also either have music, radio or podcast on.
