    At 18:10 I got an Alert saying you had posted on the Alerts Thread.

    There was nothing there.

    Turns out I owe you an apology - I have some sort of problem with my Email - I have just received a copy of every email I have received in the last few months - its up to 1350 and still counting!

    Please accept my apologies - Good pun though?[/QUO

    Does anyone remember which MS company those bank jobs where you went in and asked about foreign currency were for? I did one, didn't record it properly, and now I've forgotten.

    Just had my first assignment marked from BARE. I got an 8/10, which I'm pleased with, I thought it would be a lot worse, I was expecting questions and stuff. Got some odd initials in the comments section though, anyone know what they relate to?

    Brilliant, thanks. I can pop that in my spreadsheet now, and it's all complete. :D

    Thank you! Also, the expenses are showing as 0.00. Is that normal? Do they take a while to be approved after the report has been graded?

    Normal for me, they usually turn into the right amounts after a while. Sometimes they can take a while to pay but I've always found that they do pay in the end so don't panic too much :D
