Thanks hun! I have no idea how I'm going to sleep tonight. I'm hoping I'll be ok, I tried to have an early night last night and just couldn't sleep. I'm going to wake up at 4 though and get my brain all awake. I'll wire myself up on coffee or something haha! xx

Has your licence come through yet?

 

[TwilightAgain]

Don't panic if you don't get much sleep. I was worrying about that as I only got 3-4 my night of the test but somehow I functioned.

You having rescue remedy or anything?

Nope it can up to 3 weeks, i'm hoping it will come this week

 

[LulaBug]

I've got nothing. Kept meaning to get some RRS, but just kept forgetting! I'm hoping I'll be OK. Fingers and toes and legs and arms and everything else crossed.

Hopefully your licence will come soon. xxx

Good luck for tomorrow LulaBug.. I passed my test in March on 4 hours sleep, also i didnt use rescue remedey as it didnt agree with me, but i found taking 2 paracetamol and eating a banana worked for me! I saw it on the net before my test and thought it was a load of tosh, but i felt like it worked...

Good luck for tomorrow (I think it is?) Lula xx

Managed to get a cancellation for the end of September, hopefully a sooner one will crop up though. Anything is better than the end of Oct slot I got!!

 

[LulaBug]

Thanks ladies, I'll take 2 paracetamol and have a slice of toast or something beforehand. Good advice thanks Baby!

Nice on on your test date Expecting, keep checking everyday for cancellations, you're bound to get one crop up xxx

 

[TwilightAgain]

Definitely eat something beforehand its brain food! I had about an inch of a cereal bar in the test centre toilet

 

[LulaBug]

I'm still awake! And considering I said I was going to be getting up at 4, this isn't good

I got up at 4 and didn't get to sleep until just after 1, panicking didn't help me

 

[LulaBug]

So I'm awake, I'm dressed, I'm all ready to go, just waiting for my driving instructor now. He'll be here at 6.

Ugh, just want this to be over. And the good kind of over.

I failed!!!

Everything was going fine, til 5 mins before the end of the test.

The bloody woman was a wimp. I was on a country lane, the speed limit was 40, I was going at 25-30 because of the bends and she failed me cos apparently was going too fast. FFS!! She even said she had her foot covering the brake ready to take action. What an exaggeration. Not meaning to sound sexist, but had that been a man in the car, that would have been a pass, even my instructor said so, because the 2 women who work there are a bit jumpy.

It was 5 minutes before the end of my test as well, had it not been for Mrs Wimp marking me down for that, I'd have friggin passed. Had 10 minors which I would have been happy with, 6 less than last time. So annoyed.

Did turn in the road for my manpoueroihoioyoere. Aced that. Everything else was fine. Stupid fucking wimp woman!!!!!!!!!!

I actually cried this time, when I got home. Almost cried at the centre but managed to hold it together.

 

[TwilightAgain]

Awwww sweetie I was really rooting for you to pass today.

 

[LulaBug]

What's wrong with me? I'm sobbing like someone died

 

[hopeandpray]

It's a huge disappointment because you know you did nothing wrong

 

[amie-leigh]

hun that is so unfair if you were within the speed limit she shouldn't have failed you x

 

[AbbynChloe]

Hello Ladies,

Please can I join?? I have my retest August 11th at 2.32?? in Guildford and I am sooooo nervous.

I failed my first test on 3 minors and 1 major............ for driving through a red light I wasn't paying attention

Oh so nervous

xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[FsMummy]

ffs what an idiot. that really sucks hun but atleast you can be almost certain you will pass next time if that was only 5 mins before the test finished. its the show me tell me things im worried about. got to look them up and memorise them

 

[expecting09]

Oh Lula, the woman I had was shouting at me to slow down! Are you rebooking? I didn't manage to hold it together, the woman was going through where I went wrong and I started crying like a wimp haha, cried all the way home! My instructor must of thought I was a right idiot lol.

Hey Abby Just over a week to go! Good luck chick x

 

[FsMummy]

how many questions are you asked for the show me tell me?

 

[LulaBug]

Welcome Abby! How are you coping with the run up to your test? Are you ok? xx

OH is doing my head in, he keeps saying I should appeal the decision, but as is written on the back of the driver report, even if I appealed, it won't change the decision. It'll still stand.

Another friend was like, you should have had it out with her, but once she's ticked that box to say I've failed, that's it. No amount of disputing it will change her mind. She obviously thought her life was in danger. At 25-30mph in a 40mph zone? Yeah OK, the bends were a bit narrow but the fact she said that I didn't slow down at all is a load of bullshit cos I did. And her foot covering the brake?? Oh give over, as if I'd have kept "zooming" if I saw a car coming. I'd have slowed down some more. Drama Queen. To be honest, she was a bit annoying cos she'd tell me to pull over "somewhere convenient" and I'd be pulling over and she'd be freaking out incase I went too far. Dammit woman, you want me to pull over when is safe, that's what I'm doing!!

I'm just so fed up. My aunt said she'll help me out with another test because she really wants to see me pass, but it's not fair to other people to keep helping me, even though I truly do appreciate it. I've had a look on the site and I'm looking at October at the moment, but hopefully, if I book it tomorrow or this week, I'll find a cancellation.

I'm just about ready to despair. I can't believe I had it snatched away from me right at the end. STUPID FUCKING WIMP BITCH!!! Sorry, I'm just really annoyed. Ahem, I shall compose myself now.

I think I'm going through the 5 stages of something, I've had the tears, I'm having anger....denial is next...what's after, but before Acceptance? OK, maybe I'm being the drama queen now.
