    Hi all

    Home from work and going to start a Thai curry with DD1 in a bit. Was going to go out tonight, but really can't be bothered to get myself ready so will stay in instead.

    I had a nice chat with Berkleys today as I only have about £1000 left to live on (and that's right up to my O/D limit). The bloke started by telling me they had paid my fees and that they would pay my fees again in April. I was sitting there thing 'Yes, yes, yes .....but where's MY bloody money'. Seems they have paid it but it may take 5-8 days to reach my bank account - poor pigeon:rotfl:

    Glad to hear you are OK. My form for my fees was stamped but not signed properly by the Uni. So, instead of sending it back they sent me a whole blank fresh form to complete again, so I need to get it stamped again and signed. I asked why they didn't just return the form which wasn't signed by the admin person as it would be quicker to get someone to sign it than recomplete it. The snotty woman said "we can't do that" I was like "err, of course not, that would be easier"! :D

    How is being a student? Have you found the student beer soc? ;)

    Obviously doing that was outside her level of responsibility.

    I'm okay, almost constantly worried about money and having not let my house. I'm going to have to revisit that in about a months time if its not let. I wonder if everyone is hanging on to see how heavily George Osbourne swings his axe!

    I did go out for a drink with the local CAMRA branch on Wednesday. Went to a brilliant pub. I must have had more than one as I was chronically dehydrated on the Thursday.

    Enjoying the course.

    The man's arriving tonight so I'm sure that will take my mind off it. Sometimes I can't even remember where I am ;)

    Hi y'all....I am home but a bit traumatised.....

    Sally, your B is not much different in age to Chloe....and chloe writes language :rotfl: really good reader and loves writing, not slow by any means but actually her writing is just ok.

    Having had girls and boys (and being a girl meself) I find them to be stubborn little madams who very often shut down when they feel like they are being forced to do something. Leave it a bit, take the pressure off and I will ask chloe to write to her if you like....

    And I have to fill in forms for my OH - his writing is so bad he can't even read it.
