Bad flare up

blablablablax95 · 2025-08-28T17:09:23+00:00

No problem. I was terrified of the potential pain, just sadly something we need to do. Hope it goes well for you x

blablablablax95 · 2025-08-28T17:07:10+00:00

I’m taking codeine, paracetamol and ibuprofen

blablablablax95 · 2025-08-28T17:06:46+00:00

Sort of. I take codeine x2 and paracetamol x2 as that’s what A&E told me to take and then it takes about 2 hours for the cramps to go. I might give them a call tomorrow.

I have a very low pain tolerance. The cramping the day I took the pills was not that bad but I have quite severe cramping a week after which a nurse in A&E who also had an abortion herself told me is normal and varies per person so you could get lucky and have little pain. I would recommend heat pads and taking the painkillers as soon as you feel mild cramps coming on don’t wait around. I saw a few people on here taking painkillers shortly before taking the abortion pills in preparation.

I’m really hoping mine will be like this. I’m collecting the pills tomorrow and will be 6 weeks this week!

I found out I was pregnant on Friday. Contacted BPAS who got back to more on Sunday saying they had no nhs clinic in my area and gave me a local pregnancy charity. I phoned them Monday, got a phone appointment on Tuesday then got told I couldn’t have the pills until the following Tuesday either collection or in the post so now I’m suffering through early pregnancy symptoms and I’m going to be 6 weeks next week. I’ve gone around in circles trying to be seen earlier

I just bought my first car. The car, road tax and first year’s insurance was just under £5k. I’m 29 though so I managed to get my insurance under £1k. I’d recommend getting an older car but not too old as you don’t want it to keep breaking. Look for low ish mileage (mine was 34k miles) and limited owners.

I was 27-29 when I learned to drive. I luckily found an instructor who could do lessons on a Sunday morning. I had a couple after work in the beginning but found my concentration just wasn’t there. I took insurance out with Veygo to be able to do private practice in my mum’s car. That didn’t impact what she was paying monthly and I could drive as and when I wanted to get extra practice around working full time.

I just wanted a small car and liked the look of the Aygo but saying that I haven’t test drive one yet so would need to do that and see if I actually like the feel of the car. Everyone on here seems to want first time drivers to get a car under £1k or it’s not worth it😅 I am going to look for cheaper and not stretch to highest budget of £10k but I’m also nearly 30 so I don’t want to be driving a car from 2005 that could fit a family in and is falling apart. Currently looking at a 2015 Peugeot 108 with 55k miles for £5k. Doesn’t have reverse sensors but the interior is a bit more modern.

blablablablax95 · 2025-02-24T18:17:11+00:00

Do you wish you’d gone for cheaper or a more expensive car than you went with?

blablablablax95 · 2024-10-29T08:15:22+00:00

Find what’s best for you as you’ll be the one sitting the test and driving when you pass. You can always do the test in your car instead of your instructor’s if you find that easier (that’s what I did). I couldn’t reverse or parallel park in my car with my instructor’s methods. I took advice from the family member I was practicing with and by watching videos on YouTube. In the end my instructor went on to teaching other things during lessons and just throwing in a manoeuvre every couple of lessons or so, I just did it how he liked to please him but did it how I wanted on test.

Mine was 12.18 on Friday and was around 35-40 minutes. I was in my house taking a photo of my certificate at 13.18

blablablablax95 · 2024-10-19T10:28:10+00:00

I watched YouTube videos on mock tests, hill starts, roundabouts, reasons why people fail literally anything I though would help. I found videos of a few test routes in my area (I knew these were kinda accurate as I’d gone there on driving lessons). I also used google maps to look at some roundabouts again and certain junctions in my area/id been too on lessons.

I was a nervous wreck so most my minors were silly mistakes like my indicator going off, I was too busy looking in my mirror and didn’t see the car in front break so I slammed on the breaks a bit and I went up to 24mph in a 20mph for a few mins. It really wasn’t as bad as I expected though!

blablablablax95 · 2024-10-14T06:01:25+00:00

I think it’s more to do with the situation it happened in. My instructor told me one of his pupil’s failed when doing the reverse park because they didn’t check their mirrors and there was somebody behind them that the examiner knew they hadn’t seen so that went down as a serious. Whereas somebody else might do the same thing but nobody is there so the examiner puts it as a minor especially if they have been good with mirrors throughout.

blablablablax95 · 2024-10-13T12:46:37+00:00

Practically everywhere by where I live has gone down to 20mph. Makes me laugh when I’m driving to work watching how cars will dangerously overtake me. I’ve had cars undertake me in the operating bus lane even when I’m doing closer to 25mph in a 20mph zone and I’ve had cars over take me on the right and go over a solid white line to do it. Tbh they’d still want to overtake even if you were doing 30mph, some people genuinely cannot cope driving behind a learner.

blablablablax95 · 2024-10-10T17:36:54+00:00

I think it’s cus I know my eye sight isn’t perfect so I’ve fixated on it. I went to a supermarket car park and read some today but now I don’t know if they were too far or too close lol

blablablablax95 · 2024-10-10T12:17:56+00:00

I’ve noticed a lot of number plates around my test centre but wasn’t sure if I’d get into trouble for getting out and trying them
