Woohoo! I know it's grim, but it turns out I was left a just over 1300 quid in inheritance money. 300 quid of it was used to bail me out of a council tax issue.
The other grand is now being used to pass both my Bike licence, and my Car licence =)
Gunna book my second CBT today (my CBT expired 2 months ago)
then squeeze a few lessons in, And book my theory =P
My car test I'll do on an intensive course.
I am SO looking forward to my lil pink licence =P

Best of luck and, as above, a worthy way to spend the money I reckon.

Great idea for spending that money Smile

I used some of my divorce settlement to fund my CBT, some bike lessons and to buy my CG...saved some, but there's still enough left for some more lessons, my full license & next bike Very Happy

Think you'll need two theories, if your planning on a car and bike licence, bud.

Not if you take the bike theory, the bike counts for a car aswell, but not the other way around

Good man, you did something I could never do and spent your money wisely. I'd have squandered it on illegal substances and women of ill repute. Twisted Evil

Congrats on the pass!!

Must be the day for wet weather test passing today!!!

You dont half like a challenge, car and bike tests, at the same time (or are you doing the car bits after you get the bike test out of the way)

Have fun on Mod 2!!

That would be comedy though - Looking where you want to go in a car - SMASH!!!

Good luck with your love affair with DSA, hopefully it will be short lived!!!

Although it is not a nice way to come into a windfall, at least you are doing something productive with it (rather than pissing it up against a wall). Good luck and keep us informed Thumbs Up
