    Morning Di, hoping for fun some yes although having problems with my mum-in-law. She has parkinsons which has affected her both physically and mentally and she's now at the stage where she needs someone with her round the clock but we can't get any help. We've all got businesses to run with deadlines etc so can't be with her 24/7, she's worked all her life paying her dues and demands and now when she needs care it's sorry no can do!

    Apologies for the moan, just wonder why bother sometimes.

    Sorry to hear that Jill.....wish I could help in some wayxx and never appologise for letting your feelings out there may just be some one who has some advice for you....xxxxx

    just for jill

    When the usher noticed a man stretched across three seats in the movie theater, he walked over and whispered "Sorry sir, but you are allowed only one seat." The man moaned but didn't budge. "Sir," the usher said more loudly, "if you don't move, I'll have to call the manager." The man moaned again but stayed where he was. The usher left and returned with the manager, who, after several attempts at dislodging the fellow, called the police. The cop looked at the reclining man and said, "All right, what's your name, joker?" "Joe", he mumbled. "And where are you from, Joe?" Joe responds painfully, "The balcony!"

    The economy is so bad that:If the bank returns your check marked "Insufficient Funds," you call them and ask if they meant you or them.

    Ways to say someone's not too bright



    Police Station toilet stolen....Cops have nothing to go on.

    Schizophrenia beats being alone.

    If at first you don't succeed, redefine success.

    You have the capacity to learn from your mistakes. You will learn a lot today.

    A thing not worth doing isn't worth doing well.

    Hard work never killed anyone, but why chance it?

    All true wisdom is found on T-shirts.

    . I don't have a solution, but I do admire the problem.

    I think sex is better than logic, but I can't prove it.

    The meek shall inherit the earth.....after we're through with it.

    If a thing is worth doing, it would have been done already.

    Ham and Eggs: A day's work for a chicken; A lifetime commitment for a pig.

    Lord, if I can't be skinny, please let all my friends be fat.

    Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die

    .Confession is good for the soul, but bad for your career.

    Sometimes too much to drink isn't enough.

    Jesus loves you! It's everybody else that thinks you're an ass

    A closed mouth gathers no foot.

    When blondes have more fun do they know it?

    Money isn't everything, but it sure keeps the kids in touch.

    Losing a husband can be hard. In my case it was almost impossible.

    Jesus is coming! Look Busy.

    My Wild Oats Have turned to Shredded Wheat!

    Is reading in the bathroom considered multi-tasking?

    Seen it all. Done it all. Can't remember most of it.

    Why do bankruptcy lawyers expect to be paid?

    What happens if you get scared half to death twice?

    Always try to be modest. And be damn proud of it!

    If you think nobody cares about you, try missing a couple of mortgage payments.

    Attempt to get a new car for your spouse - it'll be a great trade!

    I'd kill for a Nobel Peace prize.

    Chastity is curable, if detected early.

    Love may be blind, but marriage is a real eye-opener.

    Hell hath no fury like the lawyer of a woman scorned.

    Bills travel through the post at twice the speed of cheques.

    Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now.

    Does anybody think it is possible to get the Kaplan books for PCR or PEV (one exam) and sit the exam in June 10 using textbooks and the forum?

    I could not afford to pay for tuition in January owing to a family wedding but I am really keen to sit one of these exams in June. I sat DFS in December 09 using classroom tuition and passed so I would really like some feedback as to whether anyone has done this and have I got enough time left???

    The next person will be studying and thinking of their next holiday......

    I think it's doable. I am not sure which one is easier, but I think PCR is more focused on flexed budgets and PEV more on the calculation of variances.

    I used the Osbourne books and even though I did it via distance learning via Premier, I have not used my tutor for anything on those two exams.

    Both are a lot alike and you might even find it easier to study both together, but that might also be a bit too much. I took 5 months for both and felt that I had spare time though.

    So yes, I think you should be able to do it easily, if you only pick one you should have enough time, if you think you got a lot of spare time, you might be able to do both...

    I've got the Kaplan PEV & PCR textbook& pocket notes if you want them @ half price :)

    It is achievable too.. almost best to go for both of them as both subjects are so alike!

    (It's so a like that it's actually 1 textbook for both units!)
