Yet another Plan…

Andrew has his driving test again tomorrow.images

Even if he does pass it’s not going to solve his job problem.

No job = no money to run and insure a car.

We have known about a scheme in Norfolk called Kickstart for a while but Andrew was reluctant to join this scheme.

Now he may be about to change his mind 🙂

It could well help him get a job as he would then have some transport.

Anything is worth a try 🙂

update…
He failed, we are both very upset but thats life and we shall get over it. He wont be re-booking his test, he needs a job before we can afford for him to carry on with his driving.

Hard to believe …..

 

Today is my son’s 20th Birthday  🙂

Sad that he only got 4 cards, one from me, his brother and both his Grandparents. 

He had to use his birthday money to pay for tomorrows driving lesson before his test.

I had paid for his driving test but could not see him with no presents on his Birthday so got him a  DVD and some music that will no doubt drive me mad 🙂

We went to the wetherspoons pub for lunch which was excellent value for money and well enjoyed.

Lets hope better things are on the way for him…… like a job.

This photo was taken when he was 6 weeks old…. he was the most ugly baby you have ever seen 🙂
