    Well done LG - its a great feeling when you've passed something - love reading your diary - you are doing brilliantly!

    Good Luck with the next lot of exams - I'm on my last module of an Open University degree so we should get our results about the same time!

    Have a great day x

    Congratulations! You deserve it, you studied so hard. I'm really glad it paid off. Well done :-)

    I had yet another carp night sleep too, 2nd this week. Thank goodness they've got real Nescaf! in the kitchen at work at the moment instead of the dirt granules we normally have!

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped! Debt-free and Proud!
    Still at work!

    Got bids on 3 items now, with an hour to go till the earliest finsh.

    Just taking a quick break from account to have a sandwich and drink. The bad thing about these longs hours is that I had brek, lunch and dinner in the canteen so already ran out of allowance. Will buy bread on the way home and make sarnies for tomorrow.

    Army boy flew back to Afghan today, I think we're going to just stay as friends

    Och sorry to hear that but at least you have like your friendship :A

    Morning gang,

    So here I am up at this ungodly hour... why??

    CIMA results days - remember that exam I took in November....

    Woke up randomly at 3am, couldn't get back to sleep, phone pinged with email at 3:11am and.....

    I PASSED!!!!! 66% my best score yet! SO chuffed, I haven't been able to get back to sleep since! Today will be a very long day! Thanks everyone who kept me going when I was uber stressed at exam time! Can't wait for the world to wake up so I can tell people!

    So now, the biggest challenge yet, in May I have 3 to take, will send the forms off today to book the classes and get cracking!

    :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

    Och brilliant. I have an ecdl test and like TJ I did not sleep well :(...so on with the revision soon. So tired and the test isn't till 2pm......I got up about 5.30am. You are going to be whacked later LG.

    Sorry I've been mia. Just been too busy and when not busy tired...

    Hope everyone is well and don't forget my diary...those sound like terribly long working hours LG - 8am - 9.30pm? Do you ever get chance to eat and go for a pee?

    Yay! Well done LG. I'm swapping jobs at work so imagine I'm going to have to take some chartered exams in my profession soon, eek! But you've done so well at... life generally! :)

  • Hi London Girl - it's taken me a while but I've finally read your whole diary and it's inspired me to do the £10 a day challenge! This is going to sound stupid but exactly how do you do it? Do you take out all your £10's one one day and then keep them somewhere and put one a day in your purse then move it to another pot? I'm a process and rules person so need to figure out exactly what to do and then I'll stick to it!
