i done Spanish and French in school, and done Italian last year.
The college got stuck with what to do with me this year, as thats the only languages they offer, and we need to pick one.
But it's all just basic, so they popped me in the uni spanish classes.
So im at college, and have just passed a uni spanish class..try and work that one out lol?!0 -
Well done, cracking on with reducing that debt. Try to keep walking if you can, I know it's cold but just walk faster and bundle up! The extra energy required to keep warm will burn more calories...The size of a glory hole in an open pit should not be greater than the cross-section of the haul trucks that dump into it. Otherwise, you are bound to lose a truck, sooner or later. Source: Sergio Cha

ok so some good news for today!
I got a letter from the bank of scotland, saying that i've now paid of the arears on the student overdraft acount, and it is back within it's limits.
So i gave them a phone and....after some persasion and repeatedly saying "i am a full time student, and don't have that much income"
They finally listened, and agreed to monthly payments of £50 instead of £100!
Meaning i have an extra £50 a month to throw at debts with big APR's and get them cleared faster! (overdraft is student acount with 0%)
Starting from jan!
Now i just need to get onto the student loan company, as they have been putting my loan into this account, even after several phone calls telling them this is the wrong account, and giving my RBS account details (which my bursary goes into)
I've even had a letter from them confiming the change of bank details, but still goes into the wrong account! ARGGGH0 -
