OH NO!! lol at that - I can just imagine it. After all that time too Glad you can laugh about it now tho, bet it wasn't funny at the time!!

I rushed around frantically trying to get dressed, we got outside and I was convinced that everybody knew what we had been doing (as we had rushed to get dressed) and that they knew it was our first time together.

We found out some little git had set light to the rubbish cute!

I'll always remember our first time though; it had everything, romance, passion, heat and several firemen!!!

ooooo eeeerrrrr

What time of day was it? If it was in the evening then I don't think anyone would have even given it a thought, if it was morning perhaps they thought you were late sleepers but if it was afternoon then you were probably rumbled

NotActuallyAMum · 01/02/2006 13:52

And there aren't many people who can say that chuck

Squirrel3 · 01/02/2006 13:55

Early evening, so was probably rumbled (mind you it was dark so they probably didn't see my crimson face).

Do you think I frightened the newbies away?

I hope not, I'm quite a nice girl really!!!!

No they're probably at work - not everyone's got a cushy job like me and can come on here virtually when they want

Squirrel3 · 01/02/2006 14:32

Tell me about it, think that's why I don't really like my new job.

OP posts:
Squirrel3 · 01/02/2006 14:34

Still at least I don't have to work full time yet!

OP posts:
NotActuallyAMum · 01/02/2006 14:55

Are you still thinking about leaving your job?

workingmumnhs · 01/02/2006 14:56

I'm still here. Just going to pick dd up from school and then go on a driving lesson. Yes it is that time of the week again. Squirrel how long have you been learning ? I've had lessons since November and don't seem to be getting any further. It would help if he wou8ld lay off the clutch on his side.

Squirrel3 · 01/02/2006 15:02

Been having lessons for just under a year now, it has taken such a long time to get past the nerves stage. I almost had a kind of phobia about driving. Before a lesson I would get knots in my stomach and almost cry when I saw the car pull up knowing I would have to get in and try to drive it, but I want to be able to drive so I forced myself to do it. I'm glad I did because it is easier now. . . .

Just got to get through the blooming test, I'm to nervous to go for it yet and I'm not elling anyone when I am taking it so the first anybody will know is when I say "I've passed!!!"

Lessons since Nov isn't a long time, don't be so hard on yourself!

p.s. NAAM, I have already been applying for other jobs!

OP posts:
NotActuallyAMum · 01/02/2006 15:05

Agree with Squirrel - it took me 10 months to pass my test, I was only 17 and didn't know what nervous meant! Dread to think how long it would take me if I started now - a bloody long time I bet!!

NotActuallyAMum · 01/02/2006 15:06

I'm sure you'll find something soon - talented Squirrels are very few and far between

Squirrel3 · 01/02/2006 15:08

Thank you NAAM

Now this squirrel is talented!!!!

i have been driving a scooter for 4 years. It is a twist and go, so no gears and no clutch. That is what gets me. I would have less problems in an automatic but then I'd be limited after I'd passed.

NotActuallyAMum · 01/02/2006 15:17

I'd love a go at water ski-ing

And para-gliding

And white water rafting

Done the skydive so that's off my list now

NotActuallyAMum · 01/02/2006 15:18

lol at twist and go workingmum

Agree about the automatic - better IMO to stick at it then you can drive either once you've passed

Squirrel3 · 01/02/2006 15:22

My dd has just passed her driving test in an automatic but she has spinal problems so driving an automatic is easier for her, but she is very limited to what she can drive now. She is having trouble finding an automatic within her small budget. I told her to apply for one because of her disability they should help out with a car for her but for some reason she wants to do it herself and be independant from disability allowance now, she has even stopped claiming her disability allowance! Blooming kids eh?

OP posts:
NotActuallyAMum · 01/02/2006 15:35

That's a shame Squirrel. I can understand her wanting to be independent tho, but there are sooooo many people who get these cars and don't really need them so it would be nice to hear of someone getting one who is actually a genuine case

BTW - my Mum and Dad are coming down to your neck of the woods in a couple of weeks, to Hastings and Folkestone. They're going on a 5 day break by coach

Squirrel3 · 01/02/2006 15:42

What do they want to come down here for? Its cold, grey and horrible. There's nothing to do, the people are mostly Cosovans or Chavs (although there are a few nice people here, well there's me anyway).

I'm not going to get a job in local tourism am I?

OP posts:
Squirrel3 · 01/02/2006 15:45

BTW dd has got a bee in her bonnet about not being disabled anymore because she can cope easier in this new house and she doesn't want to be classed as disabled anymore.

I can understand it I supose but all the same... stuborn moo she is!
