I Got Me Some New Wheels!
Well, ok, I haven't EXACTLY got me some new wheels, but I do have unlimited access to my mother's car while they're on holiday for 2 weeks! Woohoo! Luckily for me, she added me to the insurance when it was up for renewal, so now I can drive around till my heart's content, as long as I put some juice in it of course.
I went out with her a few weeks back to try and get used to it (can't remember if I blogged about that or not) so I wasn't too bad when I got into it earlier and it's definitely much easier to park than ours! I just don't like the pedals because they're too close together and feel totally different to ours, though I do prefer the clutch! I even braved the hill when fetching my daughter home from Brownies earlier and I've NEVER done that before, not since the stalling episode at the stop junction on Senhouse Street, but I'm finding it increasingly hard to park when dropping her off (and son at Beavers) so I guess I'm gonna have to brave the smaller roads seeing as everyone else has cottoned on to my thinking!
Anyway, it now has pride of place outside my neighbours house, where it will most probably sit till my sister decides she needs to fill up the cupboards again. Probably the day before my parents come home knowing her!
