Thanks Charles. My next challenge is to drive to my parents on my own (just as I used to before the breakdown) or with the kids. I am thinking I will do it at Easter and if I do, it will be the first time I have driven to my parents without hubby in exactly 3 years. 2 years ago, I never dreamt I would ever drive again, let alone go down the motorway to my parents!!! If I can do it with hubby sitting there, I can do it without him being there. Goodness only knows, this last 2.5 years (Since July 2006) have been a massive challenge and I have had setbacks too. Bad ones. But I am getting there.
