As some of you know, my niece now has lived with us for nearly a year (she did not get on with her step dad and things came to a head last year which meant she came to live with us with her mums permission), anyway on her 17th birthday she sent off for her driving licence and today she has gone for her very first driving lesson at 11.30. I couldn't be prouder of her if I was her mum, she is paying for these lessons through her holiday job from college and wouldn't accept a penny from either Mr Pink or me.
Mr Pink texted me a few minutes ago to say he saw her behind the wheel in a quiet road by us and he was as proud as punch of her, she calls him her second dad anyway, I am just waiting for her to come home now full of excitement and asking me when I am buying a car so as she can practice in that as well!! I can see when I do get a car and she passes her test, I am going to be the proud auntie and let her drive it all the time! Luckily she loves the same type of car as I do (Corsa) and they are small so she should be ok in as she is learning in a 59 reg Corsa.
Honestly I am so proud of her for doing it without anyone's help.
