Sod's Law!!

I chucked a hissy-fit (yep, again!) the other day and decided that I wasn't gonna drive again because I can't park through lack of available practice in my area! Imagine my frustration at lunchtime when I made hubby drive us out and then back home again and there was a space outside our house!! I was so annoyed, more so when hubby told a neighbour that I was refusing to drive so I was determined to do it this afternoon.

We went round to Currys and Morrisons later on and I decided to park nearer Currys because it was easier to be honest. No problems there, drove into the space and straightened myself up ready to pull back out again. Of course, once we got back home again the space had gone though there was one on the opposite side of the road, a little tighter though.

I decided to give it a go but my road position was all wrong and I couldn't tell how far passed the car I'd gone coz my son's head was in the way, so I drove round the block to give it another go. There was a bigger space round the corner though, so I decided that'd do instead.

I was parking on the left, which is how I was taught, so I found it MUCH easier to get into and only had to reverse in, then drive forward to straighten up! A massive improvement on any of my previous attempts!!

I keep checking out to see if there's a space on our road, but none as yet, though possibly if people would park properly instead of taking up 2 spaces...
