End of July

So it's the last day of July. What was the best MSE thing you did this month?

I think mine was seeing through the small print & turning down HSBC's bank account upgrade offer
Still wish I could buy a TARDIS instead of a house!

    for me it was passing the AQA training and today becoming a fully fledged researcher as of today. It's a second job alongside my fulltime one, but i'm determined to be DF as soon as possible!
