Getting up early has it's advantages :T as I have caught up on this nice new thread.

Hampydoodums Happy Birthday :bdaycake:hope you enjoy your day.

NSD for me as off out on my Canal Trip laden with lots of food and drink that has cost pennies ;)My friends will think Nannylala has gone overboard (exscuse the Pun) with her contribution :rotfl::rotfl:

Morning all.

Bit floored today, DS2 has been allocated catered accommodation at uni, despite putting all 3 choices as self catered, and letter says, if we decline that, no further accommodation offer will be made.

The cost is phenomonal, and I can't find any indication of menu plans, and have searched and searched. Plus, already been accumulating self catering items, and of course, food stash for him.

Trying to remain very positive for him, pointing out all the pro's, but really worried about the cost

Anyone who's been through/has someone at Keele, that could offer any advice please?

That's terrible. Can they make you do that. What if you can't afford it. That's really unfair.

Good morning Elite, a bit dull here.

I have been awake since 04:15! OH off to Poland on business today so I had to set my alarm too, far too awake to get back to sleep, I did try but no luck. Will probably have a kip later on.

Off to T today, hopefully the curries should still work.

If you asked for self catering, then surely you can simply tell them you can't afford it, £59 is an awful lot of money for food for a week, especially for one person.
