Oh dear I'll have to check on the loan situation, my first day back for my last term is 20th April so I was sure it was then I'll just have to make sure I don't touch my April pay to make sure it will cover my rent because that comes out on the 27th and I can't afford any mess ups with the payments!

I'll definately have a look at the spending challenge, I've done alright so far this week but I will need some petrol soon. Sounds like a good idea to just withdraw a tenner on a Monday and not use anything else!

I'm doing Media Studies with English Studies, It's a good course, I'm in uni everyday though which was a shock to the system as the stupid course I was on last year was only 3! lol What do you do?

I'm doing Religious Studies. I'm planning on working for the CAB after I graduate, so no relevance whatsoever really! It's a good course though and I'm lucky, I don't have to be in all that often. I have to start at 9 twice a week though, which sucks. I usually wind up sleeping in and missing those.

I know, it sucks having the loan that late on. I hope you turn out to be right and it's actually the 20th, my rent's out on the 25th. I get a bursary on the 20th that should cover the rent and that month's c/c bill, so that's ok. It's going to be tight though until the loan comes in, I can't afford to go over budget. In fact, ideally I need to come in under. So you'll see me on the spend challenge a lot these next few months. I've also got my own diary where I can keep track of things, which helps too.

HI ,

Housemates can be a pain at uni, people get picky about bills and things, which i was always sorting out! Always had money to go out with though, try not to let it get to you.
