The 'I want it NOW!!' debt/savings thread Part 2

Nichelette

I agree, Abbey are terrible, I can't wait to get rid of them, though I've never actually had any bank charges. My gripe is more witht he SLC lol. I watched my grant half every year despite getting nothing from my parents (who were also paying a small fortune to get divorced), and it wasn't like my dad was earning a lot to start with. I did get an achievement based scholarship but it was only £1000.

In my last year I got £150 grant in contrast to my boyfriends £850. He was getting his rent paid by his dad who retired on half of a (very good) wage plus money plenty ofmoney for birthday/christmas presents. He only got so much because he lived with his mum who worked normal working hours in a office.They really shouldn't just assess one parent when they calculate loans..Then he got a job at the home office after I did the politics degree lol. .Anyway, rant over.Sorry!

Hi everyone.

MM how exciting about your new car, hope you enjoy it.
Jen what a horrid day. Yesterday was like that for me nothing went right and we topped it off in A + E when I picked dd2 up from nursery and she wouldn't move her arm. Turns out she pulled her el bow which is common but I didn;t know that at the time and nursery didn;t notice anything when I called them.

Top that off with the doctors putting it back in after a long wait with a toddler after bedtime and then this morning she still wouldn't use it and I had to go to work all day. OH took her back to A+E and I couldn;t go which made me feel crap but she's fine. Still wont use it but all is in the right place.

Sorry for the rant.

jenjade

oh yukki that sounds horrid bless the the poor little thing. there is nothing worse then the guilt from not being there i worked when my dd had chicken pox because they were short staffed and my mum had her and i still feel bad now that was over 4 years ago!

Nichelette

I'm sorry you've had a rubbish time recentlyYukki, hopefully DD will be better soon. Neither of you should feel guilty, things get in the way sometimes.

The SLC is on dooyoo, three guesses what my next review will be lol.

jenjade

i will look forward to reading that nikki you write great reviews!

yukki you got back into writting yet?

yukkibear

Thanks girls, I know I shouldn't feel guilty but I do lol. I wrote a review yesterday Jen. Have stepped down as a guide for now as well. I think I have too much going on and not enough time to do everything so something is going to give lol.

I did a bit of a catch up with reading over there today though and will get back to it as I enjoy the writing side of it.

jenjade

i think it will take me a long time to get back up to £50 on dooyoo as i seem to have run out of steam on there a bit at the moment.

I need to look at a new challange as i have now filled my isa and i have £2,100 for next years Isa so i need to set a target on £1,500 maybe by August?
