    I occasionally have to actually do a bit of work, then I can't get on here as much, plus an addiction to War Mahjong.

    Haha .. I think you'll find you're addiction to War Mahjong might be consuming more hours than you realise lol .. I too work, often pushing between 50-60 hours per week(& more at FYE & TYE), then attend 2 x nights at College, run a home, do homework .... In fact if all my tasks were balls I'd be in the circus doing amazing juggling feats

    I'm here. Just been looking at a thread under Chat where a certain person has been complaining about Accountancy, Exams, Tutors, Agencies ........everything in general for years and still doesnt seem happy. Not even gonna bother posting there as I know people who have in the past and then got accused of mocking! So will keep my opinions to myself and keep watching others get stressed out about it!.......

    Glad to hear it AK002, if they are all Londoners in your office they have a cheek to complain about accents.

    Jewels, glad to hear you are still about, how is up north treating you, am I right in thinking you are qualified now? I am just waiting on my last exam result and wishing I had got my finger out before they went computerised. I had a moan about it at the last Glasgow Branch meeting and then looked down at the badge of the lady next to me and discovered it was the AAT current President, did I feel like a plonker or what!!

    Hiya Pamdill,
    Yeah I qualifed last February before the Exams went computerised thank goodness. Nothing but grief as far as I can see. Fingers crossed for you for the result and thats you all done and dusted. That is so funny about the President. Bit of a red face for you there me thinks!
    Hey AK,
    Hope they arent picking on you too much or I might have to send the Kilts down to show them that us Scots take no Sh** and stick up for our own!

    I posted somewhere else about this AK but cant remember where! How come your location is now Glasgow&London instead of a Scot living in London? Are you slowly slipping away from our grasp and being converted?
