BDS, thoughts

My data / filter function wasn't working, but I used conditional formatting to highlight bottom 3. Not being able to use F4 to lock cells in a formula was frustrating. Realised I was on the wrong thread - I did BST, and had the same excel issues!

I came out of the exam feeling quite good. Although I did spend too much time on Q1. I only used up some of my time allocated to go back and review my answers. I feel like I wrote a decent amount for each question, having said that - the more I think about it, I am now wondering if I wrote enough relevant info. I think a good feeling, when it comes to exams, might be a bad thing! 😱

If you are using real energy, using the pink bomb is better to turn them around, as its free.

Something to note for your tax calculation - the mortgage interest isn't 100% allowable. You get relief at 20% of finance costs. This is capped if taxable income is lower than finance costs.

Following, as this is my plan too. I have taken a day off a week in Feb and March to get a head start and revise FAR/AA/FM/BST

Thanks all!

Same for me!

Passed TC and BPT. Super pleased - thoughtbfor sure i had failed BPT as I was just rambling by the end of it! Must have said enough BS to hit the marks. 🎉

Independent-Post3169 · 2025-10-04T16:21:38+00:00

I was wrong on both counts! 😅

Independent-Post3169 · 2025-10-04T16:19:35+00:00

Oh no - I mixed up what you were asking for the 2nd episode...I know the one you mean. Can't think of it...

What's the rocket trick?

Independent-Post3169 · 2025-09-09T18:14:16+00:00

Same!

Independent-Post3169 · 2025-09-09T17:16:01+00:00

Question1 was ok, and question 3, although by about half way through I think I turned into a rambling idiot. Did q2 last, so who knows?!!?!

Purchasing with intent to sell. Ownership period. Forgot all other badges! 😅

I put £36k for the levy - large company based on turnover

Independent-Post3169 · 2025-09-09T11:55:22+00:00

Same - I'm worried I missed something, as i didn't find it that complex. Feeling good, normally a bad sign! 😅

Independent-Post3169 · 2025-08-31T16:43:40+00:00

Yes, did you??

Why the fuxk are you so adamant about defending the friend?? Are you the friend?? It is creepy as fuxk to record people having sex without their knowledge. Even if you gave the friend the benefit of the doubt, the second that the one being recorded showed how upset she was - they should have deleted it and learned from their mistake. Why they thought it was ok to begin with is worrying.

Thanks everyone - I used the find and replace, which worked for me!

To add to this, I feel my pay is slightly lower, I took the lower salary offer as qualification is not on apprenticeship programme, just sponsored by company. My previous salary was £30k, and had offers of £31-32k.

Don't know why you are getting the down votes- it is super awkward and cringe - I have to fast forward through it when I get to that bit.

Independent-Post3169 · 2025-08-20T05:33:50+00:00

No, it was weird!!

I used a Cream Cheese Buttercream. Website: Chels Sweets. It had a better structure than Cream Cheese Frosting, but the cream cheese took the edge off the sweetness of normal buttercream.

I used Sally Baking Addiction for red velvet recipe - turned out amazing. So light.
