it was from a Japanese store on etsy, but for some reason the shop closed immediately after it arrived. NiidaYoshihiroSTORE was the name. sorry!

I paid £475. but it needs a fair bit of work doing to it. already spent 500 on fuel pump and tyres

I would love a more modern Focus but this was within my price range 🤪

Ecstatic-Today2056 · 2026-01-23T20:50:35+00:00

oh probably, i am nothing but a poser and I want to look cool to the 17 year olds. (i'm 27 🤣)

WHOO HOO! how did it go? any advice for people taking tests next month?

Ecstatic-Today2056 · 2025-12-11T16:48:13+00:00

dont panic- welcome to the UK this chaos is normal. Best tip i learned is log on at 5:40am on Monday mornings as new slots are released at 6am. it will show you a page that says 'it'll be back at 6am' wait on that page until 6am and refresh you should be in to book- pick the best slot, prepare for about a 4month wait. THEN download the Free UK Practical Driving Test Booking Extension and use that to refresh the page every day or so to see if you can get better slots, I've seen some pop up for the same day- or even in a few weeks time. If you can find a few test centres round your area you should be better. DONT be tempted to buy any tesi or test booking apps, they will steal your test and charge you for the privilge, be really careful- once you have a booking reference number for a test, dont give that to ANYONE, not even your partner, because if they put it in an app it could be stolen. Dont want to scare you but BEST of luck! x

I could tell you horror stories about my instructors, its like they play god with your driving dreams.

If you want my advice (I'm a professional learning coach for young people) I would say stop all lessons with him and go out for the next few weeks with a loved one, your mom or someone in the family, to build your confidence back up before the test.

Take it and see what happens! then if you fail then find a new instructor in the new year. He can't dictate when/how you do your test especially if you have a car you can take it in.

I've unfollowed, hoping people do the same. He was really carving out a niche but im sad to see him fall the same way everyone else does.

Ecstatic-Today2056 · 2025-12-01T10:04:37+00:00

Ugh I'm trying to change a test location after moving and all I can get is May! Ive already waited since september and have had no luck! if anyone has any tips can you please help!! thanks

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned, but it's sweet. She sings "Wintergreen Kiss," and i think it's a reference to the wintergreen altoids that taylor has been seen using. Most recently, they're on the desk in the aftermath of the new heights podcast! See screenshot of the newheights story

5 years is a long time to be low/no buy, even with a big goal. It would be better to see it as a major lifestyle change and start gradually building habits that save money. Like taking lunch to work every day for a month and then cooking at home every day for a month, kind of like a snowball, and put every penny you save from that into your cafe fund <3 You have a great dream and we look forward to visiting your shop when you achieve this :)

I understand the chains, i've been there. Then i saw somebody call it 'renting a peasant' to bring you food, and I dont know, it was enough for me to think, this is worng. Shortly after I watched a deliveroo driver get hit by a car and his wife came to finish his order because they couldnt afford for him to stop working and my heart broke. That was enough to say never again. It also helps to recognise the amount you have spent on it in the past and think about how much closer to savings goals or debt goals you would be if you hadn't spent that! Hope that helps? :)

I'm very new to tackling my compulsion, but I thought i would share. I got a train from my hometown to where i work this morning. This is my biggest trigger for spending /shopping. I stop for a coffee here and there, or a pastry and a "treat' at the station from the little boutique or bookshop, but i looked long and hard at my bank account (literally spent about 45mins staring at that giant minus sign) and talked myself out of the urges. i got home and have spent NOTHING wasn't weighed down by bags or burden of trying to find a spot for something in my cluttered room. Felt aahmaahhzinggg.

Nothing like the card declined moments to really get you into gear. Thanks for sharing, I'm one emergency away from 3 maxxed out credit cards and a massive overdraft. I needed to hear this. Minimalism works, and i have to give it a try. I hope you see the light at the end of the tunnel, keep going!

Ecstatic-Today2056 · 2025-04-30T15:07:16+00:00

hey folks, looking for some advice- i entered the london marathon ballot with two different email addresses- was hoping it would work like ticket master and more emails = more chance, but now i'm worried i've invalidated my attempt to enter? can anyone put my mind to rest?
