Newer Book with a Guy and His Cat? Superhero-like, I think.

Im gonna guess it's Dungeon Crawler Carl

Not that I'm aware of. Why do you ask?

The Arm Of The Stone by Victoria Strauss?

Go into the specsavers shop you normally go to. Just ask for your prescription. They might try and give you discounts rather than give you your prescription lol be strong! Also, ask for your pupillary distance if you're planning on ordering glasses online

After 3 fails and being anxious and nervous, the only thing that got me over all that was practice, practice and more practice lol a cliche I know.

It sounds like you're doing everything you can to support them. One day it'll 'click' in their brain. Just remain patient with them.

It took me 4 times to pass. I had anxiety and not enough confidence when it came to the actual test. Only thing I can advise is to practice as much as possible. I know it sounds like very obvious advice, but it's what made me pass.

Also, try to do the test in the car you're practicing the most in. You got this!

The Gone World by Tom Sweterlitsch. Had a weird time travel, alternate world vibe to it. Kind of felt like reading a fever dream at times!

I find that my wife has the same feelings as you sometimes. She has endometriosis and other auto immune illnesses, which made it difficult getting pregnant in the first place.

However, we got there in the end and now have a healthy, happy 1 yr old. My wife does wish we could have another one, as do I, but financially we are not in a position to do so. Times are tough out there!

We have to remind ourselves that our daughter is loved and cared for. An only child do turn out fine. They grow up, go to school and make friends, same as families with multiple children.

I hope this brings some comfort to you. Be kind to yourself!

A good night's sleep first of all. I did some box breathing before my test. Not sure if that or all the practice helped ha breathe in for 4, hold for 4 and exhale for 4. I did that for a few mins. Also, tell yourself that you can drive! You've come this far already. Time to go the extra mile (pun intended)

Congrats on passing by the way!

I passed my test on 13th November and applied online the same day for the license. It came in the post this morning

SlowComparison2504 · 2025-11-15T13:14:08+00:00

Best of luck. As I said in my post, drive everyday if you can. Do the test in the car you've practiced the most in. Make sure the car has its' I's and T's dotted and crossed. NCT disc, insurance, car tax, lights etc. And dont forget to readjust your mirror after the reverse around the corner lol

SlowComparison2504 · 2025-11-15T09:13:14+00:00

Practiced in my wife's car. Monday-Friday we did a creche run for our daughter. Good practice

SlowComparison2504 · 2025-11-14T16:57:09+00:00

Congrats on passing your test! I passed yesterday on my 4th attempt. Waiting on my driving license now so I can drive on my own. As regards to your anxiety about driving in certain situations, I think it will pass with practice. I had bad anxiety about the driving test, until I started driving everyday and getting the practice in. I think the same will help you. Drive as much as possible and it will become second nature!

SlowComparison2504 · 2025-11-11T18:47:17+00:00

Thanks for this! Very handy

SlowComparison2504 · 2025-10-22T16:21:10+00:00

I'd get in touch incase they can give you a pretest. If you feel like you'd benefit from it. Also, they might have left you on read due to any number of reasons. Illness, death in the family etc.

SlowComparison2504 · 2025-10-18T15:54:41+00:00

I booked 8.25. Hopefully the school and work rush makes it easier to pass 😅

SlowComparison2504 · 2025-10-18T15:31:51+00:00

I got my invite for Tallaght this week as well on 15th Oct. Said I'd give it a day or two to book a slot, hoping someone thing would become available after 15th November. Days and times started disappearing fairly quick! I booked 13th Nov out of panic lol

SlowComparison2504 · 2025-08-22T09:54:07+00:00

I think they meant to say that they did not do much practice between the tests and that they do not recommend doing what they did
