You and me, me and you, lots and lots for us to do

Apologies -- I've not been writing recently. I'll explain fully next week. I've had lots to do and plenty to think about, and just haven't had the urge or inspiration to write. After having written virtually every day for three months, the wheels have apparently fallen off my blogwagon. I'll check it into Kwik Fit over the weekend.

Exam Result

My CIMA exam result for Business Taxation came through the post this morning. I much prefer getting an envelope than an email - you are in control of when you open it and the piece of paper in your hand makes the result more tangible. Coming out of the exam hall, I thought I'd just done enough to scrape a pass (50% pass mark). I've become increasingly better at accurately predicting my CIMA results and the spread bet in my head was 50-55%.

I passed and it was within the spread.

I'm relieved more than happy. The amount of time and emotional energy that we invest in these trials is a drain on my karma. To fail is to waste a good six months of your social life. Vic and I really needed me to pass. It sets me up for my Finals this May, hopefully after which I'll be a fully qualified management accountant. From a purely monetary point-of-view it is very important for our future.

I think we'll celebrate today with a nice quiet night on the sofa.
