Just had a disagreement with DP.
I've decided since I've started working that we NEED a car, my work is a 20 minute walk through a canel or an hour and a half commute on a bus. As I work evenings mostly its abit dangerous to walk home through a secluded place and the buses stop running I HATE forking out for taxis.
Anyway, I was planning on doing one of those intensive courses(test included) so I could pass quicker, he moans saying he should do it first as he'll pass first time Hmm This may be true but it would be too much hassle having to drag our 3 young DCs out to take me when they will be tired after school/nursery to take me to work and what happens when he has to pick me up at 10 -11 at night? He said my sister could come and sit with the kids while he comes but thats ridiculous, she has her own child to get up early with.
I've told him he can start his lessons the same time as me and add him on to the insurance when he passes but oh no this isnt good enough.
AIBU or is he?

Intensive is great -

I took my first lesson on Monday morning had two hour lesson a day (had already taken the theory exam), passed my exam Friday morning first time.

Drove down to Cornwall Friday afternoon - took the wrong turn and ended up on the Motorway - don't recommend that when so new to driving Blush But made it Grin
