Re: not coping

She has got really nice friends @outlander and they are all lovely girls too. Welcome at my house anytime.

I hope that S grows up having friends like she does.

She has booked in for her learners too which is a bit daunting. Means she will be getting behind the wheel of my car!!!

Re: not coping

oh gosh @Snowie thats nerve wracking
i helped teach my sister to drive. i got most of her hours up with me and her driving instructors. hopefully you have a nice quiet place for her to learn some basics before going out on the main roads

Re: not coping

Nerve racking that she can get her learners soon and even worse that she makes me feel old!!

We do have a lot of back roads around here @outlander that she can learn to drive. She has already driven in our back block so got a bit of experience already.

Might have to ask you for advice if you have taught your sister!!

Re: not coping

lol @Snowie
oh thats good theres places for her to learn on. its really hard when you start on main roads. so many people tailgate and just have no patience.
i didnt get in the car until she had a few lessons! i found myself pushing an imaginary brake!

Re: not coping

Hehe @outlander I was going to try and get her in for a few lessons to start of with, but with lockdown that might not happen now.

Maybe I should send her out with her Dad first!

Re: not coping

lol good idea send dad out with her first @Snowie

i think in some cases she can get some lessons in lockdown as its classed as educational but they have to wear masks in the car

Re: not coping

you might be out of lockdown in a few weeks @Snowie or maybe tougher so its always hard to tell. can be frustrating. she might not even be able to sit for her L's yet either if in lockdown. i would suggest not booking it on her birthday. if she doesnt get it on the day then itll put a downer on the entire day for her

Re: not coping

Good suggestion @outlander Might have to wait till after lockdown to get her Learners too.
