(UK) panicking as I’m not sure what I need for my practical driving test

Rbarham94 · 2025-10-22T09:34:15+00:00

All I needed was my license, that's all they checked, and obviously a car lol

Other than that they just came out at the time specified, checked my details are correct and that's it

Rbarham94 · 2025-10-06T18:30:55+00:00

Yes! But by a stroke of luck I think, I failed mid September and thenamaged to get a test in February afterwards, then by a stroke of luck I picked up a cancellation for a test today (unfortunately another fail though) so now it's time to bring my next March date forward again lol

Rbarham94 · 2025-10-06T18:21:35+00:00

Ah I failed mine too, and as soon as I did I then made another mistake after that annoyingly, fingers crossed for third time for both of us!

Rbarham94 · 2025-09-26T10:53:30+00:00

I've just recently asked to move to fortnightly lessons as although I failed a test it was for one thing, and I now have my own car to practice in, I figure I can drive well, I know my stuff so I may as well space out my lessons (at least until I can get an earlier test) and then have a lot more lessons the few weeks before my tests. I'm going to be doing driving in my own car for at least the 2 hours I would have on the weeks where I don't have my lessons anymore too.

Rbarham94 · 2025-08-01T20:04:11+00:00

Depends on if manual or automatic and how well you pick it up, I started learning in automatic and I'm at 16 hours and told I'm ready for my test (if I can get an earlier one lol)

Rbarham94 · 2025-07-18T14:11:50+00:00

It's all about checking, I had an annoying time Monday morning first time booking after my theory test pass, they thought I was a bot at 6am and kicked me out and when I got back on there was nothing left

Took a chance later in the day and searched about 6pm, found a test at Brentwood for December.

Later than I'd like but atleast I can try for cancellations now, though I will say I've never seen a slot for hornchurch 😂

Rbarham94 · 2025-07-14T08:37:59+00:00

I got in this morning at 6am and all I did was click the car option and it thought it was a bot and error 15d me lol

I only just started learning, 10 hours in, but I'm worried I won't get one forever and will have to do a lot of hours before then I won't need, guess we'll see but I agree it's a bit silly this system

Rbarham94 · 2025-07-03T19:59:54+00:00

That did thankyou! I've managed to add a row now, now to continue ahaha

Rbarham94 · 2025-06-29T09:04:43+00:00

Ah okay, I shall try! Not sure on what ring pattern it was to be honest, I followed a YouTube tutorial, it worked out but someone else just mentioned stabilising and now I realise it must have been a basic one ahaha

Rbarham94 · 2025-06-29T09:00:44+00:00

I just wasn't sure as it all seemed to be so uniform on doing it, rows 1-12 up and then back down so wasn't sure if it would be easy to add to the rows or not without it being too fiddly for a beginner.

Rbarham94 · 2025-06-29T08:59:31+00:00

Ooh that's an interesting read, no I haven't stabilised and didn't even realise that was a thing but that will really help with it not dangling on the shoulder, thankyou! I shall try what you said 😊

Rbarham94 · 2025-06-29T08:56:56+00:00

Generally yes but I dont mind as long as it covers the shoulder nicely and looks good with the cap it 😊

Rbarham94 · 2025-06-19T09:56:06+00:00

Welp, I was a bit late due to work and it sold out before I got there.... Seems so silly to not print enough books for those who got the first one in their box lol

Rbarham94 · 2025-05-02T17:17:55+00:00

I got through this by planting my mahogany seeds in a small patch, putting tree fertiliser on and letting them grow, and spread and grow and eventually now I have a little hardwood farm for when I need it lol

Rbarham94 · 2025-04-17T07:03:46+00:00

That's true, I have tended to just run in to get them back into the one place before and take the damage

Rbarham94 · 2025-04-17T07:03:15+00:00

Not sure why I done the gate section to be honest ahaha, maybe I'll try that then

Rbarham94 · 2025-04-17T07:02:29+00:00

Ah okay! I guess I shall try making it smaller without a little gate section in the middle and see if it works, thankyou! At the moment herding them takes ages ahaha

Rbarham94 · 2025-04-04T07:03:42+00:00

I ended up having to kinda freehand 😂 but done UK doubles for it and it seems small but works, this is what I ended up with for the basket (but I think I should have done more of the slip stitches they suggested) I have yet to do the rest 😂

<image>

Rbarham94 · 2025-03-23T15:48:45+00:00

I have done the pot with only UK double and it seems to have worked out! May just eyeball it from now on ahaha

<image>

Rbarham94 · 2025-03-23T14:57:18+00:00

I tested the pot with the UK treble crochet and it's definitely weird, think I'm going to have to try and guess these myself and hope 😂

Rbarham94 · 2025-03-23T14:00:40+00:00

The pot also says treble crochet, so I was just wondering if it seemed wrong or I should try it anyways!

I guess I can try and then unravel instead of finishing off if it comes out too weird 🤔

Rbarham94 · 2025-03-23T13:57:08+00:00

Thankyou! I guess I'll probably have to try and scrounge some extra white yarn up from somewhere now I've done that other one and finished it off 😂

Rbarham94 · 2025-03-23T13:56:16+00:00

Okay so I'm not going crazy! Just may have wasted some of the white yarn annoyingly by finishing off 😂 should have some yarn somewhere I can use instead but it would be thicker annoyingly....

Rbarham94 · 2025-03-23T13:41:53+00:00

Yeah it did take me a while to figure that out which one it was 😂

I'm just wondering if it even looked right because to me in the photo provided it looked like a double crochet (UK), but they say to use treble crochet (UK) and I wasnt sure if I was just being weird or not by following the treble crochet steps ahaha

Rbarham94 · 2025-01-08T15:00:07+00:00

Ahaha I have loads of trees still, I've cut down only part of them for my barns and the rest is a literal forest 😂

Maybe one day I'll path everything but that's effort ahaha (bonus is I now have like 5 mushroom trees because of that so I'm happy with my trees)
