I'm sure there was a thread in the "Boost Your Income" forum at one point about taking in students over holidays. Might be worth a read to see what other people's experiences have been, and what kinds of questions you should ask the woman who comes to view the house?

Edit - Found the thread! https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/576176

Thank you so much. It sounds quite good. I think I might enjoy it if I am accepted!

I have seen the weather and it will be good tomorrow so I am taking tomorrow as my day off in the week so I can spend the day with my parents who are visiting.

Housey is tidy - ive cleaned gas cooker, fridge, bathroom so I can chill. I still haven't ironed and might do that tomorrow.

Enjoy the sunshine SW and have a nice week with your parents

Today I painted the garden table and it is drying. So far it has had one coat and was much easier to do than the chairs.

I have mowed the grass as it is supposed to rain tomorrow. My lawn is being invaded by clover :eek::eek::eek:

This time next week I will nearly be on summer holidays. Not that I am doing anything. lol. :rotfl:

Well done on painting and mowing SW .... I have been doing the same :rotfl:


Went out to mow and had to run back in with the electrics as it started to rain ! No black clouds in sight ...weird weather !

savingwannabe

It is weird isn't it. I felt a few drops tonight but no clouds? The weather for tomorrow keeps changing too. :j

I'm at work tomorrow and hope it passes quickly as I want to spend time with my parents. They are quite excited about this taking in a student idea - I hope it works out. My salary will just about cover my costs so I need to think smart for the future.

Payday tomorrow night. Hurrah!

One of my best friends was made redundant today. Anyone at work could be next.

I did get a bonus of £110 from my new bank account today which is going straight into my savings.

So sorry to hear about your friend and the uncertainty about your job SW. Am keeping everything crossed for you x Good news about the bank switch bonus.
