Who knew they even had these things? Best thing I ever bought as I knew exactly what he could see in his mirror and didn't have to keep turning around.

Mrs 27 only got her P's last year. (She took lots of tries to get her L's, she has a test phobia) She took her drivers test whilst 40 weeks pregnant. Her instructor said they were going for the sympathy/freaked out by nearly delivering pregnant woman which would counteract her test phobia. He was right! And yeah, it's 120 hours of driving here in Victoria. No. 4 doesn't have her P's, but she left home three years ago so I'm hoping I'm safe there (stop laughing!!!) No. 6 has his L's but uncharacteristically for a boy has no interest in cars or driving. (They're killing machines Mum, what kind of person do you think I am?) No. 7 hits the L's age next year (I'm hoping she'll be too busy with yr 12!) and No. 8 is still just hoping to be taller than me! (Something he will achieve any minute now I think. His brothers did when they were 11, he doesn't want to be beaten by them!) I know, I know. This is the price I pay for having 8 kids. Hope the driving lessons go well!Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02611233587655427186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-51130628656864964712012-08-02T01:33:59.763+09:302012-08-02T01:33:59.763+09:30YOU ARE SO FUNNY SO FUNNY SO FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!

Phew.<br /><br />We call them "oh crap" handles here, or, if you're OK with swears, then you can use the "s" word instead.<br /><br />That Little P. He's so adorable. Can he have a sleepover at my house? I know my kids would love to have him over. Actually, you can send him for Grandma Week (part 2), which is coming up here in two weeks. Grasshopper will make it his personal mission to make sure Little P has a good time. I'm sure of it. Plus, with the his little Aussie accent, he'll have us all wrapped around his little finger.<br /><br />LoVE the roadkill ottoman! You did a great job with it! Those are great fabrics and an awesome finish!

Love the spotlight porn, he he, just shows the calibre of shop assistants they employ. Your ottoman is wonderful. My first and last driving lesson with my dad lasted exactly 500m where I got out of the car and told him he could drive us home. When I got my license he decided it was correct procedure to sit in the passenger seat with his hand on the handbrake, he almost got put on the curb for that indiscretion.... you can see I get on well with him lol and the reasons I paid for driving lessons from a proper instructor.
