Next step...Bring it On

I'm off today and have the whole day to myself - Only that I got so much to do - cleaning up. I'm the kind who really struggles like ensure my place in order. I'm one of those spoilt kids I guess.

Anyway since I do not have a washing machine I had to go to the local launderette. I'm proud of myself today - I can proudly say I did well today. (Only a brother wants to be praised for doing what he is supposed to do: I take care of my kids!)

Anyway since the real battle has started I received my application form to be an ACCA member - God knows how I would love to gain full membership. I have to keep a record of the relevant experience I gain from now hence forth. This is foreign in Kenya where I worked for a while. Does all that previous experience go to waste? I hope it has changed but still things might not have changed. We do not place any enough emphasise on practical experience. Very few employers are even bothered. That is the difference here - without the normal restrictions for foreigners - one can get very relevant experience.

The dreaded part I'm looking at is how much it will cost me - a quick glimpse at the forms I got it would cost me £170 to be a permanent Affiliate or £85 every year.
Hey I have to gain full membership soonest!

I can forsee this next few days will be interesting.
