'I'm not going to drive to school' blah, blah, blah...

When I passed my test and got my car a month ago, the first words out of my mouth were...

'Im not going to drive Scarlett to school unless it's chucking it down. I need the exercise and if it's a nice day then, why wouldn't we walk?' 

So far this week, I have driven 3 out of 3 mornings. 

I seem to be pressing snooze more than ever in the mornings, so by the time we get out of bed at 8am (yes, I know!) it's go, go, Go!!!!! 

It's 8.40 before I know it and after having the 'advantages of the bike over the scooter' argument from Scarlett, we would have to be top athletes to make it to school on time. 

So instead of tapping Pixie (that's my cars name, doesn't yours have one?) on the bonnet and bidding her a good morning, I kiss her bonnet and thank heavens that I have her. 

I don't drive when I pick Scarlett up in the afternoons, so I do get some exercise (but, that's only because of parking restrictions and I would basically have to park further away than it takes to walk).

So, there you have it, another 'oops' in my day (not to be confused with the oops moment in the Tena lady advert). But, look at her...


She is just so pretty!
