Thanks for all the replies and congrats, I have to say I am pretty chuffed and its cool you all seem to be for me too
I've driven to work on the motorway with the person who used to give me lifts to work, and she said she'll keep coming with me until im confident, it was so much better today though, I'm already getting used to the mirrors and distances etc. I think i'm pretty lucky to have her coming in with me, i know shes not an instructor, but its free!
