    I know! Mine only has to show up as far as we're aware. Where do they think parents can produce money from just like that?

    I have no clue.
    Luckily mine did not need anything like that.
    He had to apply for a bursary.

    This is specific to the course he's taking. He needs chef's knives, whites and front of house uniform plus ingredients.  No chance of a bursary here 😥

    Having said that. My friends son is studying aviation at Uni. OMG! It's about £30k 😬

    @Sun_Addict I think so as it includes a certain number of flying hours.

    Being a pilot looked like a fairly secure job until Covid happened didn't it? 

    Grocery shopping done today for the week. I've also done a load of washing which is currently drying, made lunch for myself and the HT, sorted out the college forms, emailed the HTs results to college, acquired the HT's laptop backback for college, watered all the houseplants and have just sat down to eat my lunch.

    Good evening all. I've been busy today house cleaning and washing/drying bedding so no time to spend anything. Today was a work day but my looked after person has gone home now.

    All the paperwork for the HT's college induction day tomorrow is sorted and I managed to have a chat with the learning support office yesterday. He doesn't need a lot of support, they just need to pass on that he will have problems following his new timetable at first because of dyscalculia and that he can't write for more than about 10 minutes because of his joint problems. Neither thing will be a major problem  with a little understanding and support.
