Well no good today and GC called in panic uni taking next terms rent for halls tomorrow and he doesn't get his loan yet. I've spent the last hour playing with savings accounts and current account overdrafts to scrape it together. Feeling major stress but thankfully my spending has been low which helped so those NSDs came through for us. I was scraping for pennies
