    Afternoon all! Long time no see, been a busy few weeks in the Arthien household!

    Interesting to see the above, normally uni halls take 3 payments to coincide with the 3 student loan payments at the start of each term. Unfortunately mine/hubby's didn't, so there was a lot of beg/borrow/stealing going on as they wanted the first payment of around £2k up front to reserve the room! :eek:

    If you have any questions/queries at all, feel free to drop me a PM. I worked for the student recruitment team when I was at uni so I probably have a bit more insider info than most ;)

    The first payment is 3 figures and paid on or around the 8th sept...I think this is the deposit and thats followed by 3 four figure payments in October,January and April....it could have been funded in 9 instalments but they wanted another £90 admin fee for that

    I'm sure that over the next few weeks I will indeed need lots of questions answering not just specifically about accommodation and I'm so very grateful of anyone who offers any help or advice going...
    I was chatting to DS this morning and the reality of it all has I think started to kick in that he's actually going...I won't deny there were a few tears but we are all really convinced that it's the right thing to do.
    frugal October...£41.82 of £40 food shopping spend for the 2 of us!

    Afternoon all, hope everyone is well.

    So excited as just had a mortgage offer which I didn't think we would get. I'm wanting to buy a second property as a project to do up and sell. Any advise greatfully received :) xx
    Cherish those you have in your life because you never know when they won't be there anymore.

    No matter how you feel, get up, dress up & never give up.
