    Wooo new thread.

    I'm trying to make decisions about money! I've saved £170 over the last two weeks, which I'm really proud of. I'd decided that next week I wanted to spend my money and relax a bit (esp as I'll have done my essay woo) and I really really want a new gilet. Just decisions about getting it, going temp into my overdraft to add more to my savings to then break even the week after....

    DON'T KNOW!

    WOOO NEW THREAD! :woo:

    I feel fine now, just a bit of an achey neck. Gonna go to the library later to make up for my distinct crappiness yesterday.

    Ah I hate money. I really do. I find keeping up with it so so difficult

    Inky, what shampoo are you using? And how hot are you having the water? If it's too hot you're probably over-stimulating the grease makers

    Um, I'm not sure if you would be actually, as you're working. That said, if you count as a full time student you should do?

    Nope, you won't get help then as far as I know. Once you're 19 and not in full time education or on benefits, you get nada.
