RE: Flights - I used to do these flights with another company when they had them before RE stole them!! re is asking for a lot and you ave to dosh out the cash FIRST whereas the other MS company used to pay for the tickets and you would travel.

Kinda sad RE have taken this client but I can only imagine the report!

If you're a student on a low income then you really should fill out a HC1 form so that you can get a HC2 certificate entitling you to free NHS prescriptions and eye tests etc. I had one, saved me loads of money!

Just had a look at the DirectGov site and I dont think I would pass for the HC1. As i'm 20 get money monthly from parents to help with food etc. And also have money in savings from work during my gap year (although the amount is dwindling).

Would you say its worth getting a form just incase or not worth my time?

I give my son monthly money too, but it was for his fees, (he was a postgrad and not funded) and his dad helped with the rent but they take your rent off as an expense. Or you could say that your mum and dad pay the rent and leave it at that. If you get a grant/loan they don't take that either.
I'd get it anyway, if you don't work and all you have is your savings you'd easily qualify.

Honestly there is no harm in trying! I just had a quick nosey through your past posts to see if you live at home or not, but I can't remember if the form asks for parental income or not.

On another slightly more scary note, I see you go to uni on my patch! Nice to find a neighbour.

I'm living in a shared house near uni. I don't think i'll take too much of your work as im only signed up with RE and GFK (and there doesn't seem to ever be much on GFK).

Anyone else noticed that the fee at the end page of GFK has 0.00 everytime or is this just me. Getting rather annoying as I have to check the fee and fanny about.

Its always a bit hit and miss but this month seems to have been worse than most. I think I have had to put fees in most of mine.

I got one, although given mimi and I are both up north that might have something to do with it.
