Are there any other PGDE students out there?

Are you going back to studying after a break?

How are you currently or going to cope financially?

So far,after fees, i have earned £67 from eBay selling!:j
Still to get about £15 from Music Magpie and I will get untaken holiday pay at the end of the month when I finish up.

Starting to get nervous about Uni as it is drawing ever nearer. Will be in 9-5 so it should not be too much of a change to waht i ma doing now. Although I need to get the train about 7.20am:eek: in order to be in on time.Joy.
So it will def be packed lunches and flasks of soup everyday. I also got a http://www.bitecard.co.uk which does give a discount on snacks at the train station. Doubt I will use it but worth having anyway.

NSDs and Grocery challenge still going strong. I have had an extra mouth to feed this week so it's not been too bad.

Banked so far...
£15.06 from MusicMagpie
£87.50 from eBay
Won £150 on National Lottery scratchcard

Still to come our way...
Currently got £41.12 pending to be paid from Quidco this month although it will go up a bit I think.
Got back £250.00 from evil RBS re bad customer service complaint!

Only 11 days until final payday:eek:OH finished paying off his student loan last month so there will be an extra £300 odd in his payslip plus overtime so not sure what he will get paid; prob around £3K:j
Not sure what my final pay will be but hopefully around the £2K mark.

Got all of the books that I ordered, mostly they were under a tenner each with the cheapest being 15p!!!
So 2 weeks left of work and then a fortnight off before Uni starts. It's getting closer!!

To organise in first week:
*Student Railcard (got form just need uni to stamp & sign)
*Council Tax Exemption (as above)

** Still to buy a sewing machine...

So all in all things are looking ok. I think I may post a SOA on the DFW or budget board to see if I can get some advice. I am not in debt but want to post to prevent getting in debt.
