    Well done! You're doing amazingly. And you'll be finished young enough to have learnt your lesson and enjoy the next few years when you've got the most disposable income.

    *feels left out because of not being added* I'm not sure who you are to add you, but I'm AT with dark hair and glasses if you can find me from people on here.


    Found you i think. I know, itl be gone by my 19th-the end of June and i think il manage to save most of my 3 week holiday pay then when i go back in August i get a payrise :j So il be saving like mad, i cant wait! Il still be on here just when everyones saying its payday, £400 to debts il be saying the same but to savings instead :j Cant wait until my birthday to be honest.

    Chanting?

    I will say no more about my troubles on here. They are minor compared to some I'm sure.

    But not minor to you Bookie....please don't worry about pouring out your troubles on here...we have all been at rock bottom at some point in our lives....

    I understand you think you can't compare what you are going through with other people but it is heartrending to you.

    We need to know what you are going through, we may not be able to help but unless we know we can't even give you a virtual hug....people like me would go around putting their big feet in their mouths all the time...

    My OH tried to unstack the dishwasher last night but said he didn't know where anything went....

    Could have been worse: He could have unstacked the dishwasher and you didn't know where anything went... :eek:

    I must sound really bad not buying her a new one, but we're all losing weight, plus she's growing so she's changing shape quite quickly :o

    That's brilliant Rictus, and you'll be able to help the other youngsters, I think they might sometimes look at us with tens of thousands of debt and think that they don't 'deserve' to be on here, or think we're all too old to understand giving up a social life being so hard, it'll be easier for them to listen to someone their own age. (hope that didn't sound patronising).

    LMC, my economics course only started this week. So far it's a bit basic, I've done A level economics and it's beneath that level. Plus it's very 'touchy feely', starting with an anecdote about his great aunty Addie. I've been used to history at a 'traditional' uni and the OU, so it's strange getting used to the informal style. The politics one isn't going too well, mainly because it's computer based, I definitely prefer books where I can curl up in bed with it. Having a computer that keeps turning itself off doesn't help either.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    I'll still be here in 10 years. I'll be here on me lonesome by then :cool:

    Grr OH's friend studied psychology at uni and is now being an arrogant !!!! and analysing everyone including mine and OH's relationship. Some people! :mad: Just butt out!

    Are you sure it was psychology? Sure it wasn't drama and breast surgery?

    Since he's acting like a tit...
