Yep it is, they want someone ACCA qualified and I am only starting (did get 4 units excempt) however I have qualifications from different country so I hope that plus my 20 year experience will help.

Good luck with that . I only did 2/3 of ACCA but am QBE .

I also buy presents up front. I bought loads of cheap cards in the sales in Jan (paperchase ones too, so they look really nice!). I find TK Max can't be beat for good kids toys and books.
Also Asda is good if there's one near you. If you can get them through the year, you can find the bargains rather than paying through the nose.

Hope work is ok

I am having that end of the month feeling and it's not even the middle yet :rotfl:

I need to get DS some new trousers but I think for the sale of a few weeks until the end of term he will simply have to look as if his cat has died for a while.

I know what you mean IMD. As I mentioned little DS needs a new school jumper ( desperately) but if I thought the weather would remain like this I wouldn't bother ( they always lose them when they take them off when they are too hot :mad:).

I usually have the end of month feeling all month long!:o

Have a good day;)

Its that time of the month again ! The time when I feel fed up because I have no money . I am so fed up that I frittered away the best part of £10 in the supermarket on nothing:mad: I am so fed up with myself.

Well thats just too weird........there must be something psychological about the middle of the month...........I came out of work today and HAD to spend money, and I mean HAD to.

£27.99 gone to Homebase!
