Yay - I passed my driving test :)
Folks, I'm so happy and excited, I just had to post about this - I finally passed my driving test about two hours ago!
It was my fourth attempt thanks my uncontrollable nerves
The cost was seriously mounting up; I've been paying for lessons for almost a year, it is £175 each time to take the test, plus £20 a week for lessons in between failed attempts 
It was very expensive but a really good investment; having a licence means that, if the funding for my current job runs out in April, I am now eligible to apply for considerably more jobs in my line of work. Talk about relieved.
Yay

Woohoo! It took me 3 times to pass mine and I didn't get it until I was in my 20's. Doesn't it feel great to conquer one of your fears? You should be proud of yourself.
