    Had to give it up … I was getting RSI in me grillocks from all that loomthrumming. And I’ve never looked back since … because I can’t, me neck is still seized from stretching me possets over the munging greebles. I filed an industrial injury claim … but they just laughed at me!

    Shame, it's a dying trade too.

    BDO by any chance? I work for the 3 letter organisation....

    I've just had my CTA acceptance letter through today so I can now officially call myself IWantToBeFree CTA! Woop!

    I am a member of the AAT, I am a MAAT.

    While studying we all joked it meant "Massive Ar5e And Tits":rotfl:

    In no particular order

    PQ Accountant (I hope 30 isn't the cut off to do CTA cos I want to do it and I am still studying ACCA at 43! - late developer - used to be a librarian!)

    Self employed book-keeper

    Mother

    I have my full AAT now for a few years.

    Hubby keeps nagging me to do ACCA (or CIMA or the public service one - what is it CIPFA or something like that).

    Anyway one of them, but I'm 40.
  • Yep! It is a little worrying. But believe me I'm not the only one! Didn't realise so many of my colleagues are in the same situation. Guess dealing with pensions must make us feel the need to spend money!

    Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.

    Outrageous! Fancy using your 12 year old as a general skivvy! Are you not aware of the child labour laws madam? :rotfl:
