Beyond Excited!!!!!! :p

Comment Published at 23:4823:4842 comments42 comments74 Visits74 VisitsReport

My first car EVER!!!!!! I'm beyond excited, I really can't believe it!!!!

I't's a Mazda MPV. 8 seater of course! hehehe. Now I'm not mechanically minded, so I won't go into details about the motor ect. As long as it goes hehehe I've got no clue about all that stuff. It has power steering and windows, and its an auto.  Oh, and its white!

Shane has to go pick it up some time this week coming.The sooner the better but probably on wednesday.It'll be the first day in a while I've had all the kids by myself. I hope he's not gone to long but he has to go up the coast to his brothers to get it and drive it home.

Now I had better get my finger out and get my P's. LOL yeah, I've only got my L's so far. Luckily I can have heaps of lessons with my dad. He only lives 10 minutes away. Shane too, when he's not working.

Ican't believe they want me to clock up 120 hours! Abit much. If I wasn't so lazy I could of had my lisence by now with only 50 hours or better yet could have done it when it was the old way  (OMG) back in the 80's or 90's when it was much easier still.

I feel like my luck has changed lately. The kids have all been good, mother's day I was spoilt rotten(brekkie, chocs, sleep),got to meet the wonderful Cass and Austin and went gold as well. The car on top of all this!!

All I need now is a magical cleaning genie!!!! lol

Woohoo!  When you get it, can you clone it for me? lol.  License?  What's that? I don't even have my L's! lol.

Good luck with it all and no speeding!

I originally got my L's as I needed i.d. then I thought,why not learn to drive while I'm at it LOL

Nah, won't be speeding with all the kids in the car!

I have had a Mazda for a couple of years now...we love it!  Way cheaper on gas too than our Park Avenue (we don't drive it much anymore)  GL with new car and happy travels.

I'm glad things are going great for you! I hope life continues in that fashion!

I have to admit, I'm a little surprised at you not having a license. (NO idea what Ps and Ls are! ;)) Is there pretty good public transportation where you live? We have nothing! If I didn't drive I could go nowhere!

Re: Beyond Excited!!!!!! :p

I'm really lucky that I live 5 minutes to the shops. I always found handy places to live LOL but I've just got too many kids now!!! Where I live has no transport so that has given me the courage hehehe

L's is for Learners, P's are for Probationary. I have to have my green P's for at least 12 months and my red P's for at least 6 months(i think) and then I can get my full licence!

Re: Beyond Excited!!!!!! :p

Wow that is exciting!  Congratulations.  Get crackin and get your P's!  You will feel so much freedom I am sure.  I am doing drving with my 16yo stepson.  He has his L's and is well on his way to get his P's in September.  Luckily in Perth, he only has to do like 25 hours or something.  I know in Melbourne he would have needed the 120. 

As for the magic cleaning genie...send him my way after you find him!

Re: Beyond Excited!!!!!! :p

Certainly a gold week!  It was so sto get my license way back then...not sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing!  Just lots of practice up and you'll be fine.  My mum never had a license and i honestly don't know how she got on, but i guess people didn't have to travel as far back then or is that why we never did too much just played around home etc????

hahaha yeah I could do a big trip to Perth LOL. My best friend of 35 years lives over your way. I've got even more reason now! A holiday does sound good, I'm on a roll so why not LOL

I should find out more on monday about the volunteer. Can't wait really coz I'll make things so much easier when Shane goes back to work. I guess it'll turn into my housework day.As long as they're ok to my kids I'll be happy

Hi Cath, congratualions on the car and it shouldn't take too long to do those hours though 120 hours is going a bit crazy. My son only just got his and I am sure it wasn't that much. Oh well. How about a big drive over to visit! LOL Worth a try. I used to volunteer one day a week with red cross helping out people with multiple births etc. I hope you get someone really nice to come help out. Things are looking good!

But the thing is, I'm super nervous about driving for the first few times! hehe  I'm just gonna have to grow some balls LOL

If things keep going the way they are, I should have a volunteer coming once a week to give me a hand. So cool. An extra pair of hands is most definitely a genie wish come true!!

YAYAYAYA again for Cath...... a volunteer will be a welcome relief I'm sure.... slightly jealous of you though hehe. Waiting for my volunteer to come home... he just doesn't realise what he volunteering for yet hahaha

Honestly, I hope everything stays this way for you. You more than deserve it!!! Look out world, Cath's got wheel's!!!

Wow!! Congrats Cath! That is sooo good! Yuck having to do all those hours for your licence thou! I originally got my licence before the hours thing was introduced, but i got lazy and let mine expire coz i never drove in Sydney. I got my P's back just in time so i didnt have to do my L's again.

If i ever find a magical cleaning genie, i'll send it your way... after it has finished cleaning up cyclone Austin's mess!

Cass xoxox

Hey Cass,

Living in Sydney is why I never got my licence. I grew up and lived in the inner city. No one drove. It only took 15 minutes on the bus or train to get to the CBD.

I regret it now tho,I could of had it 20 years ago!

Hey there, Purple Princess!

It think it would have to be a first for me to have this much going right for once. Ever! Touch wood! *tapping head*.

I've decided to make Shane the genie for a while. At least. And I am lucky to have Sami the super helper.
