    PAP sorry you didn't pass, but its sounds like you learnt alot from it and will be confident next time.:beer:
  • aww zippy its no problems really, i was ready for it :) next time it will be a pass :j

    ok a bit of advice needed please ~ finances... now i have £100 in my savings and £800 on its way to my current account... now i need to apply for college £207... so i am wondering if i should do this...

    £800 - £207 (college) - £99.00 (reinstate accounts ~ see below) = £494.00

    so i will then push that £494 back to my savings account?

    my soa left this month is...
    £65.00 ~ bt
    £11.00 ~ house ins
    £28.00 ~ charge :rolleyes:
    £48.00 ~ bus card (although i may only need one £24)
    £22.00 ~ paypal money
    £5.03 ~ ebay fees?
    £20.00 ~ last me till payday (15th)

    total ~ £199.03

    avalible today (with the rebooked test money debited ~ dont know about the ebay fees) £100.74 (-) £99.00

    i have no spending money left in my spending account either :o... what do you think good plan? it will the take my 'car/savings' fund to £494 (as the £100 still in my savings account is xmas savings)... however £600 will be added before my next test (fingers crossed)... any other solutions you can see?

    thanks in advance ~ superpap

    Looks good to me PAP... If that £28 is a bank charge can you persuade them not to take it or claim it back? Sometimes life gets in the way of your plans but it sounds like you will be back on track in no time!!
