As some people have asked:
1st driving test = 3 minors, clipped a curb on my reverse around a corner (instructor was not pleased I got failed on that)
2nd driving test = more nerves = 11 minors (manoeuvre was parallel park - I can't park for toffee and it absolutely petrifies me still ... minor for being too far away from the curb)

I have never actually parked our car and parking around my streets is terrible - I could go out tonight as Mic sorted the insurance but I may end up parking in Bogner

Well done. Enjoy your new-found freedom! (even if it does require plenty of parking space)

Heh.. failed my first test for nearly causing a rear-end shunt on a roundabout (totally misread it), but then went on to get just 2 minors.

2nd I was so nervous and scrappy I clawed through a pass with just one minor infraction to spare.

Thanks everyone

I don't think a status of mine of fb has ever had so many likes and comments

One of our ratfiks, Tiffany, has an op down the vet - I'll be doing my first solo drive in about 15-20 minutes to drop her down and then head to work.

You'll be fine!

Solo drive is much better than it sounds (as I'm sure you've found out now) as you don't have anybody watching over your shoulder. You can make some mistakes and not feel the disapproval of your passengers
