Alima that was something that I was bothered about when I give up driving. I have looked online and do not worry you will have great choice and Amazon will deliver.

Sorry to hear that you have decided to give up but better your decision than it be made for you.

I think I can understand how you feel. Once you have lost that confidence it really isn't worth the stress of making yourself do it. You will most certainly find another way of getting your compost !

Not having the car also means there will be extra money for taxis when needed. Maybe you may also find walking and buses keeps you fitter. If you feel your confidence returning in the future you can always take it up again.

Alima I am sure Amazon sells most things and deliver to your door.

Sorry to hear you no longer feel confident driving, what about just not driving for a few weeks, then give it another try?

My car is going. I can no longer hack the driving. Never been a confident driver just careful. This last few months with stuff going on in the family my confidence has hit rock bottom and getting in the driving seat brings on a panic attack. What a wuss, I am so cross with myself. My main worry is how am I going to get garden compost in spring. Cannot see a taxi carrying it.
