LJ's Mortgage free road to early retirement

pammyj74

ICB, but they are £5, just wondered if there were any freebies around? I have found a few good sites with quizzes, but after a while you learn the answers rather than testing yourself.

I started with the ICB in 1995:eek: sorry but I can't help with past exam papers:(

Not sure if you have seen this site though, its for level 2 AAT and has tutorials and questions for basic book keeping

Ok so I have

I suppose I should get started on my studies..............yawn:o

LouiseJ

Well I am happy to say that I have really concentrated for the last couple of hours and rattled off 1000 words of my project, only another 3000 to go by next Tuesday.

I really cant cope with starting a past exam paper now though, have to take DS to his drum lesson and then out for a walk.

At least my exams arent until June, although there are 3 of them:eek:

pammyj74

well done on getting a quarter done. I had a reply from Ideal schools today saying that I have to pay a further £49 to carry on their assistance as I had to stop studying for two years

June isnt that far away lol

golfiematt

Halfway throught my 2nd week off
Last day for me to crack on properly as OH is off work Thursday and Friday due to lack of work at his plant:( hopefully a short term measure.

Today the flooring is being laid in the bathroom so i need to give the floorboards a sweep and a scrub then make a start on DS1 room with painting.

So, jobs for today

• Flylady
• Sweep and mop bathroom floor
• paint walls in DS1 room
• place matched bet
• check banking
• walk 4 miles with OH tonight

Busy day and no chance for studying or working on my project:o

Best get on I reckon.

If anyone is wondering why the change of avvie, I am reflecting the current mortgage balance.........I am now in the 30's:D
