p.s. at my uni i've seen things you can go to with your kids and hang out and meet other student parents, maybe they have it at your uni too

Yeah - I could - problem is all fresher stuff is during the week and they're at school all day - LOL

Never mind - I can take them to the fair instead - And tell them the rides are too scary/unsafe so they don't want to go on them and save me money - RAFLMAO!!!

I'm a mature student too... although I am hoping to be out living it up with the youngsters in the first week I expect I shall slow down pretty quickly as my hangovers are hideous these days!!

Not sure how I'll fare with the £1000 challenge, I'm definitely planning to save but whether I'll be doing the 'money for nothing' approach or not..

i'm having this problem! At 21, I'm all of a sudden a mature student (I don't think it's fair at all lol), and I'm convinced I can't drink as much anymore! I'm willing to try tho

hi guys! just thought i'd set a mini challenge....... by using either your knowledge of prices or websites like tesco etc, what is your ideal week of food on the cheapest budget? how cheap could you go without denying yourself the things you like?

i got a free booklet thing from sainsbury's with some vouchers in (they were by the till in the little one i went to) and they had a their basic shopping list for under £10, but it was a load of things i wouldn't have anyway! so i'm gonna create my own and it'd be cool to see what u guys would do too

Hi I've just found this thread, I graduated a few years ago and to anyone doing an art/design (I did fashion) course you're going to need to start saving, it gets EXPENSIVE!

I'm sure you've all been to the Old Style Board for tips on cheap meals, if not get over there and check it out ASAP

Do any of you use cashback sites for daily clicks? I wish I'd known about them when I was a student it would've helped me loads. PM me about them if you want to know more I've become a bit of an expert on using them and have links for good sites
