Lifes a Bitch,last 2 days of my life in a lil story!

[gammamanuk]

Well im gonna have a winge,why not


basically im an 18yr old lad that since left school has been the most unfortunate person alive, i reckon if i said now ill fall down the stairs at college tomorrow and break a leg it would happen

Anyhow more to the point, i as most young lads do, take a keen interest in cars, ive been learning to drive on and off since november last year, i took my first test in august this year and failed with 4 major and 8 minors basically wasnt ready for my test, 77 pounds lighter and a saddened feeling i gritted my teeth and booked another one for 14th october, got halfway there and had forgotten my documents got home and back and had the test, failed again, 2 majors 3 minors, so i had had one of the two blokes and now the other bloke.

So another 77 pounds lighter i book another test, get this one for 16th november, yesterday, night before i put my wallet on the microwave with all the document i need in it, had my tea, wallet waas there, went out to see my girl came back, wallet gone.

I didnt take it out with me or nothing, it was on the microwave, i then searched for it till around11 30 last night, baring in mind the night before id had 2 hours sleep worrying about the test so i go upstairs lie on my bed and dose off, woke up at just gone midnight and continued the search into 2 30 in the morning, the stress/aggrivation took hold and i got al upset, ive been on anti depressants before but thats not something i want to go into on a public place, i went for a walk , came home, looked once more, id gutted the kitchen lounge bedroom everywhere the street my girls house everywhere, byt his point i was running on pure adrenaline i almost threw up when i had something to drink , went to sleep just after 3am and got up at 6 20 am, looked some more couldnt find it, phoned my instructor explained to him.

Contacted dsa/dvla about my test and documents and was happy to realise i could still take the test if i take my passport and pay a 5 pound fee,trouble being all my cards where in that wallet, vanished called up my mother at work, she spent 20 mins goin through this poxy press 1 press 4 press 6 and paid the fee for me, about 2 minutes past 9 i rang my instructor and he came and collected me, test was at 9 37 am, go to the test center, passport was out of date, expired 12th october 2004, but they still let me have my test

Got to the test centre, now imagine after all this i really am tired,im being kept awake by stress and buzzing off adrenaline, i was shaking for some reason i dont know why, i had the 3rd one of the examiners , a middle aged lady, she was pretty sweet and kept trying to calm me but i wasnt nervous i just shaking from all the grief, i shouldnt have gone for the test bt i would have lost my fee so i thought id rather have a bash at it and pay fiver more.

Well i must have been tired, i FAILED because i was travelling too slow, i got 4 minors and a major for it, amongst minors for control and observation i got a major for,, the cost of this test

39 pounds test fee
30 pounds car hire fees
fiver and a lot of my mothers time and patience bless her
feeling like a loser and a idiot coming home after al that malarky to fail it, feel like a dick cause everyone knows how much i want to pass it.

i slept all day after it, i havent been eating and i feel really poorly, my arms and back are red hot but the rest of me is cold, and i can breath heavy or i feel sick.

to top it off im 2 grand in debt and a full time student so i cant just keep throwing money awake like it doesnt matter so that just adds insult to injury.

a very sad,stressful and dissapointing last 24 hours.

its just gutting and none of you can understand, ive left school ive gone from bad luck to bad luck, i didnt know what i wanted to do with my life i became ill depressed and suicidal through family problems, and i was going fine since this July after my lets say 4 day stint in hospital

But last night, the feeling and stress of it all brought it all back, it would be nice for me to achieve something, id do anything for another bike and a CBT but its pointless i cant ride unless the suns blazing down and the roads are as dry as the desert, unless ive just had shitty bikes i dont know, binned my RG good and proper in the rain,normally i get up and laugh but that scared the hell out of me

[Smoto Bob]

i guess you havent taken you bike test then? as you could have just get a robin reliant

Load of people stack it in the rain mate ( quite a few this month on here by the looks of things LoL) say this to loads of people but try some off roading, i fall off most weekends, and am rarely heading in the direction i want to but on the roads i am quite happen when that happens now (to the confusion of most car drivers)

Xmas is coming look forward to that, some prezzy/food and after that a WHOLE NEW Year that will be better

Thanks mate, think i will leave it till after Christma/new year.

[Bikerbird]

Bad things always seem to happen to people who are pessimists, be more of an optimist and you'll feel much more light hearted and better able to deal with the silly things life throws at us.

gammamanuk

Ive been there, very similar situation to you, feeling as if the whole world is against me and nothing goes my way. Well i can tell you, when you have reached what you think is rock bottom think positive because the only way things can go is up.

[bazza]

You're not unlucky, just disorganised. Try planning ahead instead of leaving everything till the last minute. Check you have everything to hand the night before your test. Then check again just to make sure.

You're already going to be stressed on the morning of your test, so a bit of preparation beforehand means you won't be adding to it by trying to find bits and pieces of paper minutes before you set off.

Just read the post, not a nice experience at all.
You have to remember, you have you’re health, you have you’re lady, and some people have debt twice that of yours.
Give it a few days, maybe ask for the past examiner you liked and sit it with them, they will see an improvement.
It will all turn out in the end.

Take it easy

Mate, I mean this in the nicest possible way, but until you get your head sorted out you are better off staying off the roads.

At the moment you'll most likely stack it bigtime.

And no, you've not been plagued by bad luck, your perspective on life has just got a bit distorted.

Cant really be bothered to quote a few posts, basically i was organised, as in taking my wallet from my wardrobe and leaving it safe in the kitchen and it vanished either my younger brother or one of his scumbag pikey mates has took it thinking it had money in it and then dumped it off somewere.

Nice bloke i had was the second one, he was so leaniant (spelling!) , one of the strict blokes is leaving end of this month he was the sort of bloke to fail you for one minor observation

Id alkways been given turn in the road and reverse round corner, but this last one i had reverse park, reverse round corner and emergency stop!

i did look in fridge/oven/microwave/toaster/freezer etc i was taking on any possibility.


Just got to get some money into my account, starting some catering work at tescos earn me 60 quid a day.

Hmm got to fork out 19 quid for a licence and dont know how i get a replacement theory test certificate? There nothing of it on the website.

[mrchips]

I know how it feels. I failed my theory twice, went to take it the 3rd time the centre was closed for unforeseen circumstances. Had to rebook it a week later and thankfully passed it. Very disheartening but you will get there in the end.

[Bikerbird]

If you ring up the DSA they will give you your certificate number over the phone, i think you need your licence number though.

[gammamanuk]

got all my details for theory certificate

this is the THIRD provisiona licence ive lost and photocard, however i found my paper part from my original one about a month back so can i just get a new photocard?

[Rollins]

[Irezumi aka Reuben]

Your life sounds ok, wanna swop?

I got 2 verbal warnings (out of 3) in one go earlier from the mini-hitler at work. No problems with anyone else there.

And I have no girlfriend (it's hard work when your not in school/college anymore. So much more effort is needed

Oh, and I dont have a working bike!

I'd be quite happy to swap your luck from when you were 18 and left school to the current day with my luck since I left school at 18.

Do we have a deal then?

[buddha]

I like to swap with all of you, im 34, way over my head with owing money to banks and cards, no wife and i have a funny looking skin.

But hey, take it day by day if not week by week gammamanuk, no point thinking about the whole picture if its going to stress you out.

[gammamanuk]

meh just pissing me off now,i got my lil fiesta outside and i just want to get out in it, everytime my mate boots in down the road in his car i just feel small sat there pissing around with mine, its like polishing a turd, there aint no point! oh i did add a nice golf splitter to it, now the front end sits about half inch off the ground

Started paying my bills, paid my internet one today and its been re connected! Got to pay my 100 pound card bill next for this month, then another 100 on first of december.

next available test is february, suppose ill just got pay the rest of my savings into my account and let card company and my other bills take there grabbings and see what im left with , and get a new licence, then book again, cant be asked now till after christmas, thinking of joining a different company with a petrol car, find my lil 1.1 fiesta so light and nimble to throw around theres a bloke with a 1.1 saxo petrol thats pretty good, so im having thoughts.

[ZRX61]

Get a fucking grip ferchrisakes, it's not the end of the world.. & I gotta ask why the hell you don't keep your wallet in your pocket??

THIS is a bad day:

[Gobbin]

Christ almighty, you got debt on cards at your age?

And what's with all the gotta have a car crap? I didn't have a car til I was able to afford it - at 22 by the time I'd gone through uni.

And please don't anyone quote 'poor background' to me, cos I've been there and done that one too - you know, single parent, father in the nick, all the usual crap trotted out as excuses by those who need an excuse. If nothing else, my upbringing in a poor but aspirational household taught me to prioritise.

You need to sit down and have a think about what you would LIKE and what you actually NEED. Do you really NEED that car/bike? Many of us managed on foot/cycle/bus and train at your age.

Once you have provided for your NEEDS then you can choose to SAVE UP for what you would LIKE.

Much unhappiness is caused by wanting what we cannot get RIGHT NOW and being unprepared to wait for it.

I'm sorry if all this sounds very harsh, but it sounds like you need to have a good talk with someone who can help you focus on what you really want, and can help you organise yourself to do it.

[mchaggis]

[AcIdBuRnZ]

Didn't find your wallet then?

Did you try asking the people that were in the house the night it vanished......
