POINT #8 - pass my driving test first time

It is safe to say I was so chuffed with achieving this point! I was worried about my driving test because it was so soon after I came back from holiday, but I really had nothing to worry about, as going on holiday gave me time to read the highway code through, revise my show me tell me questions, and on the long journey up there I got to watch how an experienced driver would react to things etc.
I had my test at 10:14, and had the same examiner who passed my friend (and he had the same name as my dad!), which was quite cool. I had the driving route which I happened to struggle with the whole time I was learning (it has a huuuuge double roundabout) but I managed it and passed with seven minors, which is quite a few minors but they were just silly things I forgot to do due to nerves!
It's weird driving around by myself in Penny (that's the name of my car, if you couldn't guess! 1998 1.4 volkswagen polo open air, such a lovely car, expensive to insure for me though!), and not seeing my instructor any more but some of my friends are learning with him now which makes me happy :o)
