To the person who asked.... SFE = (evil yet completely incompetent) Student Finance England, who are meant to sort all student finance out for all new students, and 2nd/3rd/4th year students.
They are completely useless as they've LOST an id form and change of circumstances form I sent in two months ago, but have managed to receive AND process the financial dec form I sent in at the beginning of August sometime. Am also waiting on DSA (which they also sort out) and they are about as useful as a chocolate teapot in a teashop (or a handbag at a football match)
So, I am highly annoyed, had to resend forms they probably won't see til end of month, and knowing my luck they've found the old forms and will process them. Stupid bunch of useless eejits** Total debt: £6950.82 ± May NSDs 1/10 **** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **
**SPC 2012 #1498 -£152 and 1499 ***
I do it all because I'm scared.

Hello all, oh dear there are a few glum faces today. :grouphug:
NONE of you are a pain in the bum (that would be my domain...with my endless relationship traumas
), we are all here to support each other, and it doesn't matter if you are in a position to need that support, or give that support, you are all equally as valued and welcomed as the next person.
EVEN if you need ongoing and lengthy support - because some problems don't just go away overnight.
So there.
Anyway, I am feeling quite okay today. As long as I don't think about 'him'. Although am worried about a familiar presence in my life, who doesn't seem to have taken the hint.
Don't shout at me please...I am never going back there again.....NEVER.

I'm not going near student loans this time around. I would be allowed 2.5k a year I think but I think they should give you that as stress money... for having to deal with them
