I did it! Ten minor faults (three because of 'undue hesitation' at those damn roundabouts and two for veering over into oncoming traffic, errr...) but I am now the proud owner of a C1 category licence, so I can finally legally drive Oddy. Thanks so much to Steve, my patient trainer. I only had to buy you that one cuppa for mounting the kerb Steve!
Thanks also to Lisa for sending me this tune to psych me up that morning:

Amazingly it actually includes the line "she can drive across the Sahara". Oh yes indeed, just watch this space. Bless you Lee.
