Hiya All
As most of you know I am a complete muppet about driving too far from my house on my own.
Im researching my family tree at the moment and to get more info I need to go to the family records centre in the middle of London!!!
So heres me thinking 'how the heck am I going to manage that????? - I dont drive far, dont do trains and its in the middle of the congestion charge zone!!!)
I phoned my mum and she said she would take me one day soon..ok I say and immediately start getting aggitated because I like to know where I am going before I go...(escape routes etc..im sure you know the score!!)
Well, Thursday night my hubby was down the pub watching the footie and I was BORED out of my mind.
So before I knew it, I had downloaded directions off the internet and was in my car on my way to London.
Not only did I get there with no problem at all, I had so much fun and felt so damn good that I drove out of London towards Kent and came home the LONG way round.
I was out for about 2 hours, driving solo, in traffic, going further than ive been in 2 years and I havent felt so normal in a long time!!!
Dont ask me how I did it or how come I didnt panic cos I dont know..I jut took Megs Mantra on board and JFDI...lol
Ok so I live in Surrey and Central London is only about 14 miles away but its busy and there is loads of traffic and I think my round trip was about 60 miles. Im so dead pleased with myself I had to show off and tell you all.
This week im going to try to get to the South Coast on a MOTORWAY (aarrggghhh...lol)
:D:D:D
loads a love
