    Oh, and what counts as non-essential books? Does my reading list count or not?

    Your course or library will have a list of essential reading and then a list of further information / reference books. Sometimes a tutor will sign books lists but more often than not you will have a disability services coordinator at your uni who will be expected to sign the claims forms.

    I know that I send the DSC the essential reading lists and students are expected to obtain signatures from the Uni DSC! Try your tutors, they may not be aware of specific rules especially if they haven't come across them before ;)

    Excuse me one moment:
    Dear downstairs neighbour - i get it - you like music that goes "thump thump thump".

    Sharing time, however, is now over... please turn it down enough so I stop feeling the vibrations...

    *Turns music down*

    I know I am not your neighbour Random but I do seem to have cranked the music up this afternoon. Although to be fair the neighbours can stick it as they always have it so loud that the neighbours 5 doors up can hear it! Mine isnt too bad in comparison :D

    DSA got back to me......they've let me have ALL the things I asked for! Including a spanking shiny new Macbook! *dances*
    Looked at gyms, all too expensive. Buying a mate's bike and am gonna go cycling instead (including to train station and back)

    :T Well done Elfen, I am still dreaming of a Mac :rolleyes: They opened a new apple store within a shopping centre very close to where I work. On my birthday I made Mum walk about 2miles the wrong way within the centre so we didnt walk past it. I knew if I saw/played on one I would have brought it, whatever the cost! Its one of those 'one day I will save for one' purchases :rotfl: The problem is I could buy and run my dream car for a year for the cost of one Mac :eek:

    Afternoon all,

    So cold at work, I have my coat on. I loathe how slow things are after holidays, I'm very bored.
