So, hands up, I've failed in my challenge - yesterday I went by car to meet my friend. The problem I have is that as a working mum with health issues for myself and my husband, I'm very time poor. We all know the challenges of parenting, rushing from one club to another, to get the shopping, clean up etc. But I am also trying to fit in a life - to see friends, have hobbies and visit my dad. None of these things are easily done when you're waiting for a bus. Don't get me wrong, I'm going to persevere and try again, but I only had 5 minutes to get there so I needed the car. The main aim of my experiment is to learn to plan more so that I can use public transport, and then we will go down to one car and share an electric. But sadly so far the Westlink service hasn't been available at the right time for me to use it. But I will keep trying!
