Hayley

I am doing okay, have now started manoeuvres - have done turn in the road and reversing round the corner (to the left and right). I now need to do parallel parking and bay parking. Also need to learn about crossroads and vehicle maintenance, oh and take (and hopefully pass) my theory and hazard perception test. Must admit I think my progress would be an awful lot slower if I was learning to drive a manual (not that I have been super quick in an automatic mainly due to OH having to fit me in around his full time job).

We sailed to IOW with Wightlink in 2005 - Portsmouth to Fishbourne - dogs were allowed out of the car but we had to go up quite a few steps. It wasn't made clear where we should sit with them so we chose some nice comfy window seats on the middle deck (well away from the cafe type area in the centre). A lady cleaning said that we should really be on the top deck but let us stay as by the time she saw us it was nearly time to return to the car. I love the IOW - have a great time What do you mean its only the Isle of Wight - we have booked a week there in May

I found that the phone shop/market stall type phone unlocking places were unable to unlock my phone. It was a Nokia 6630 on Orange, so I contacted them and they emailed me the code to use to unlock it at a cost of £25. It was very simple to do. Good luck with yours

Good luck to you My dad and his partner just had a home visit from Lynne Davies from Dog Borstal and were very impressed

I had a bit of a bad lesson today - well made a dangerous mistake that knocked my confidence. I was on a dual carriageway and moved into the right hand lane to give a car that was joining room to join but then I moved back over a bit too soon. I know from when I overtake that I should wait until I can see what I have overtaken in my mirror before moving back over but I didn't apply that to this situation for some reason

I got a couple of tins to try today - local animal feeds place sells single tins at 99p each.

I did filtering today and joined the A1 from the slip road and then drove at 70mph It felt so fast!

Okay well it's here now

Fantastic

This is being collected tomorrow. Where does it eventually need to get to?

No when I first got my Mac I signed up to .mac and never got junk. I let the membership lapse as when it came to renewal I didn't want to part with the £69 (ish) fee. We had just changed to btinternet so I got an address with them and all was fine up until about a month ago until I started getting all this junk. In desperation I went back to .mac on Christmas Eve only to discover that when I tried to change my address on eBay and Moonpig I was told that the address [email protected] was already in use by someone else! In fact, on the Moonpig site, by requesting a new password I was sent one and then managed to log into this other Hayley's account and found out her address and other personal details. It turns out that she is [email protected] - only a slight difference but one that those 2 sites didn't pick up the difference in. I was disappointed that Mac had given two different people such a similar address so decided to cancel my subscription under their 30 day change your mind thing - have emailed twice now though and still no refund.

Thank you but I am a Mac user and that filter only appears to be compatible with Windows. I really wanted to avoid that - I guess I will just have to live with them

I am listening but the caller is talking about a church service he went to

Just to let you know that I have made contact with this lady (spoke to her husband) and it has been arranged that we will collect this next week as planned

Wendy you look amazing - well done Good luck with that final stone I haven't lost any this year but haven't gained either. I have a big incentive for next year - wedding in September.

Oh good I think I am still taking it all in I am glad that they had a small wedding with just the witnesses as that was my plan and now I know that the rest of the family won't get all upset that they weren't invited

Just recently I get about 10 emails a day and they are all related to increasing the size of men's parts. They go a bit like this Happy Holidays! U Gate to your happiness is open! E Please yourself and your dear lady with the best present ever! Extend your meat stick with our new herbal preparation! N I Steamy nights in approaching year are ensured! Buy VPXL now! I am with btinternet and I never used to get these emails - in the 'To' field is always someone elses name next to my email address. I am using a Junk mail filter but it makes little difference. Any suggestions? I really don't want to change my email address

I am going to be an Auntie My brother's wife is pregnant. They only got married yesterday - just them and two witnesses. I only found out today. I feel a bit

Show the other lovely picture too

OH and I work in Welwyn Garden City which is next door to Welwyn but we live near Huntingdon in Cambridgeshire. We will be glad to collect it for you. I am off work now until 2nd Jan. OH's last day is tomorrow so would need details asap if you would like us to do it unless it can wait until the new year.

How have you been getting on Ange? I did my third lesson on Thursday night - loads of roundabouts - big ones and mini ones I need to be careful not to speed on the 30mph roads which I seem to do without realising it and to speed up a bit on the 60mph roads which I find hard as it feels like I am going far too fast - I haven't made it past 50mph yet Collected the car yesterday and had a little drive round the village today

Sounds like you are progressing well Ange Had my second lesson last night - got picked up from work as usual and instructor got out of the car - yes I was going to be driving out of the car park (on the first lesson he drove me to the start of the lesson). He took me on a very varied route that included roundabouts, narrow high streets and a long, windy country lane where I got stick behind a bicycle We finished in a car park and did a reverse bay park. It was really good again although I need to remember not to stare at things in the car, i.e. the clock because when I do I go a bit off course. My biggest incentive now is that we bought a brand new car on Saturday that we are collecting next Friday - it will be my car once I have passed

I had my first lesson on Wednesday and it was really good I did left turns and right turns on a fairly quiet housing estate. I then did a turn in the road Next week I am going to be driving on busier roads incorporating roundabouts. One slight problem I had was at the end of the lesson - my right knee was killing me - I must be using muscles that I haven't before I had my lesson after work and only then did it dawn on me that most of my lessons wil be in the dark which worried me a bit but I seemed to adjust okay.

Well done Ange I have my first lesson after work on Wednesday
