Me and the OH are tying the knot in one month - May 20th to be exact - and I think Andrewo's date is sometime in August. Not sure when Eskymo is sitting her driving test, but if she types in anymore soup recipes then she's not studying her highway code enough

[andrewo]

Yes, I am tying the knot on the 26th August - and the theme is gardening!

[eskymo]

hey! I passed my theory test two weeks ago - got 100% on the multiple choice questions and 90% on the hazard perception videos...which is pretty good!

I'm in the process of practicing at the moment, but that's been put on hold as our car is temporarily without a handbrake so got to wait till next week before I get the role of chaufeur for the OH again.

I'm booking my test on Monday and apparently there is a 6 week waiting list so I'll find out then when the date of the test will be....can't wait to get it over and done with. I'm supposed to be having a Mock test with my instructor next week but decided to cancel as I have no chance of practicing my road manouvers before then with a car with no handbrake.

Well done Eskymo, and as for you two soon to be married guys, Enjoy it, I have been married 8 years now and without question it is the single best thing that I have ever done. I bagged a wonderfull woman without whom I would be lost.

[andrewo]

We have been together 8 years too and I proposed when I was very ill, took her completely by surprise - she hadn't a clue how I managed to get a ring!

[eskymo]

Right - that's my driving test booked. I've got it on Wednesday 14th June at 10.44am...beginning to panic already!

[sewer rat]

Eskymo
No need to panic - you've breezed the theory and that's the hard part- all the same, GOOD LUCK !

[eskymo]

i think the driving is harder!

[sewer rat]

Nah - it's a bit like riding a bike - the more you practise, the easier it gets - it's worth putting in the hours just toodling round the local streets/ Also, if your examiner is up for it, take a couple of lessons in the area where you will be sitting the test - I did this and my instructor obviously knew the test area well as the route he made me practise on was as close to the actual test route as makes no difference - helps with the confidence side too if you are semi-familiar with the area.

When I got to 40 something I wanted to do something different so took my motorbike test (spent years on the back of OH's bike and wanted something of my own, racier, fed up with old English bikes).

It was the hardest thing I ever did, the day of the test. But passing was soooo great. So ........... stick in there Eskymo - it will be the greatest feeling

[nick the grief]

Old hand

.... I have been married 8 years now and without question it is the single best thing that I have ever done. I bagged a wonderfull woman without whom I would be lost.

Hope your wife didn't read that PW 8 years eh, I bet you've still got the owners handbook, Come July the 6th I shall have done 21 years

But like you I wouldn't swap mrs grief for anything... well maybe a new rotavator & a bigger greenhouse I'm not sure she feels the same though

[Nicos]

May 7th.....22 years!! Fantastic!!!!! Lucky me!!

[eskymo]

May 7th for us too...but we're not married...it'll be 6 years together though! Mere seedlings compared to you lot!

[Lesley Jay]

It's 33 years of happy married life here. NO I'm not that old - I was a child bride!
