    I always get caffeine withdrawal headaches unless I've had my morning cup of almost thick coffee (we have a coffee machine, we're supposed to put in a dessert spoon per person... I put in at least 2 >_<) a can of diet coke and a cup of tea in the evening!

    Same PC. At the moment I have one of those caffetiere things or however it's spelt. I love Italian coffee :coma:

    At the moment I've been drinking lots of green and fruit tea because it's supposed to be good for me instead of coffee, hence the headache :/

    Inky: the difference is the taste. Instant is not nice. The other coffee is a lot smoother and richer and it's worth the extra money.

    No, I don't like it either. I don't like tea at all. I can just about stand fruit tea but that's it. I just drink it because I am trying to be healthier. I gave up concentrating, I just feel so ill now.

    I've been looking up doing a postgrad nursing degree in London, and I'd get a £7k NHS bursary but it's SO expensive to live there I don't know what I'd actually live off >_<

    yeah, i think you'd have to save up. my friend is doing nursing and she said she hasnt got time for a job shes living off her savings :/ and its not like living is hugely expensive here.

    i've decided if i get the job in lincoln i'm going to have to move closer cos its a 1hr 40 min bus jouney ¬_¬ 40 min drive. damn buses!

    But save up off what? I haven't got anything to save from >_<

    I might have to see about living with B again, and just live further from campus.
