Happy Calender Advancement Day.

This week I have mostly been fitting a new loft ladder..... I hadn't realised just how dodgy the old one was until I tried the new one for the first time.

A very,very happy new year to everyone. . I hope you prep well . My prep this year ,without trying to sound gruesome,is to keep surviving my *ancer. I didn’t expect to get this far,but by god I’ll keep fighting!
Keep on prepping!

[Yorkshire Andy]

Oops! I started a Happy New Year thread without seeing that the year's wishes were on here. Ah well, so good they said it twice, sort of thing.

A massive prep that's been bumbling away in the background for me for a *long* time, is of getting independent transport. For a while I thought that could be a folding bike, then an electric folding bike. Years passed! I've been taking refresher driving lessons, as I passed my driving test a million years ago, and just after Christmas, the results arrived: I bought a car! I haven't actually driven it yet, with the demands of Christmas and recovering from Christmas, but today I'm going to clean the inside, clean as it already is, and tomorrow I'll head for a little drive. That was supposed to be today, but I'm still tired. I'm very happy!

Lovely! I admire you for your perseverance. Take care and treat every other driver as an idiot and you will be fine. In fact your recent training puts you in a better position than a lot of veteran drivers. Happy New Year.

Thanks jansman! I'm driving much slower than the people around me, and even so I still spark the "angry face" on electronic speed limit signs! Definitely lots of idiots out there.

I've bought the smallest car I could find - 1 litre automatic. I managed to do the spray cleaning today (the guy who drove it here had a lurgy) and tomorrow I'm off out, just for aimless local driving to get accustomed. I refreshed in a Peugeot, and this is a Toyota.

I'll let you know how it goes!

One of my biggest problems driving is that my car and the works van have indicators and wipers on the opposite sides, also the in van the wipers operate upwards and the car they go down

.......This happened to me some time ago but I was regularly driving four different vehicles, it took a couple of miles to get used to each, I don’t know how mechanics manage, especially small independent garages dealing with all makes of motors.
