My advice, if you can get any error codes from the ecu do so. Also try reducing the idle revs with the adjustment screw on the throttle body, let it settle for a while then test to see if its still doing it.
Edit: Oh and get a friend who knows cars to have a quick look before taking it to a garage

Error codes from the ecu? How do i do that then?

Another quick thought.
Start the engine and let it warm up. Whilst Parked and listening to the revs depress the clutch. Do the revs rise?
I believe this could give us a good idea at what we are looking at.

No they don't, i did already test this tonight when i got home. It will only start doing it generally when i'm already moving, but it doesn't stop as soon as i stop the car.... not much in time difference though

Well this is what i wondered, because i am basically a new driver as of 2 days ago.... but my boyfriend did say it definitely wasn't that cos it did it for him too, plus i made him look at my feet when driving
and he could see i wasn't on the gas and it was doing it then
