hey bath, I can sooo relate to all you posted, I am exactly the same, irt to feeling like I have to take responsibility for not driving......but it will be nice to not have to stay somewhere overnight because dp has had too much to drink, once I can drive, I can drive us home. since having ds, I dont drink very much, if at all these days.
Also I dont particularly want to make driving a habitual thing, I think the same about my weight and I just know that driving in itself would have an impact on that, I dont want to get lazy and start driving to the shop around the corner, but it will be nice to not have to wait for it to stop raining first!
I tried getting my L's five times when i was 16-17. But annoyingly i freak out too much in test conditions and failed from nerves. I KNOW it was nerves cause i had spent three weeks studying for the test, and any questions people in my family would throw at me, i'd get right straight away, you couldn't trick me.
So cause of the whole thing i just never went for my test again.
Starry: I was thinking of this thread yesterday as I was doing the school run (walking). I am too lazy to drive... meaning that if I drove I would never get around to finding time to exercise on top over everything else I do each day. I find exercise for it's own sake really boring.... so it's best I combine getting enough exercise with things that I have to do like the school run.... which is 2km return.... and I do it twice a day so that makes a daily total of 4km brisk walking pushing a pram... and it's hilly. Now that I have a heart rate monitor I have also seen that I only burn enough calories during the 4km brisk walking to "cover" my 2 coffees each day. That was quite surprising. I would have thought it would have been more. No wonder people who drive everywhere really struggle to lose weight!
