    What a cop out from the Government. Then need to remember how many people are actually eligible to vote and how many have student loans or are parents of students who have student loans.

    Well Labour can go and stick it for me. No way there getting my vote at the next election. Gordon hurray up and call an election.

    student loan news was on moneysavingexpert.com/news

    I just called them up to find out how much I owe, the most recent figure they can give me is March 2008, which was £9561.65. Considering I borrowed 9k and have been paying it back for a year by March 2008 this is flabbergasting. Best of all is the fact that their most up to date figure is in March 2008 - any other financial organisation would be shot for this!

    I've worked out I roughly will still oew £8500 by the time this years payments have been taken off.

    Hi All,

    Sorry to butt in again, but noticed you lot do quite a lot of multiple quotes in your posts, can anyone tell me how to do it? Thanks in advance!

    I only know how to do multiple quotes from the same person, same post Swinstie. Just copy and paste the bits in [] to make separate quotes then you can write inbetween.

    I have done quotes from multiple people/posts once, but it involved having about 4 browser windows open and a lot of copying and pasting, I'm sure there must be a simpler way!

    I do it the same as you do Tete with opening multiple tabs.

    Can't focus at all today, head is full of bees.

    Thanks for your replies guys, have worked it out eventually! There is no stopping me now, ha!
  • Been very busy this morning-thats typical from saying i had nothing to do yesterday!
    Dinah-i can only say what everyone else has said and try not to worry too much. Im sure it will work out-as everyone has said some people are bound to want to retire early, and its a good opportunity for them.

    Am getting more and more nervous about this MS, just worried I wont remember everything. How long does it usually take you to fill in the reports for RE dinah?

    RE are some of the most thorough reports, I usually take about 30-40mins to do them (but I don't concentrate very hard!)

    You'll do fine Sam! Try not to stress too much over it, you're bound to be nervous on your first one.

    Over the weekend when I'm on my billyo I'll try and get all the tests done for Gap then hopefully start getting some jobs in line! Pretty thankful Dinah isn't near me or I wouldn't have any to pick from!

    Right, I'll be off now! Other Office Girl is in at 12 so I need to look hard a at work. Good luck with the meeting this afternoon Dinah, I'm sure you've got nothing to worry about.
