actually you do. it says so on the certificate the NHS sent me, and when i showed it to the opticians they didnt charge me.

you have to fit into a certain income bracket though, but being a student i basically have no income lol :biggrin:

Have visited places in wolverhampton, West park?

Really? I'm a college student and they said no :frown:

I'll have to question that next time I go for an eye test.

I dont know all the rules, so dont quote me
It's age based, and income based, and what-level-of-education-you-are-at based
And if you're an international student a whole different set of rules applies

and I had to fill in a form first, HC2 or something official

I actually have nothing i want to eat, and i have no money this week to get anything else. My choice this evening, and all weekend, is toast, instant noodles, instant risotto, or chesse sarnie. This is the exact same choice ive had all week, except for when I had milk, because then I could have porridge. I suppose I could have porridge made with water. *sigh*

If your living at home it goes on your parents income, its only if your in halls and having to pay your own rent e.c.t that you can get it free/discounted-

But I don't live at home, I live on my own.

in that case as long as your income is less than £53.45 (the ammount the government says you need to live on) plus the cost of your rent then you should be entitled, so id give them a ring

so.... its five.thirty am and i havnt slept yet. turns out tea DOES have caffene in after all.

i mean, i always knew it did, but i thought that it was so little compared to coffee and fizzy drinks and energy drinks that it didnt affect your body, but i suppose if you never drink coffe or energy drinks and only drink fizzy drinks in the form of mixers then your body might not be entirely used to caffeine.

i turned off my computer two hours ago and lay down in the dark. couldnt sleep. much longer and ill just give up, maybe make more tea to get me through the day since it seems to work so well at keeping me awake, and actually get some work done. or at least tidy my room, inspections are next week.

danced with a cute guy tuesday night at walkabout
he was intrested enough to leave his number, but it was a digit short, so i cant contact him

it didnt go any further than dancing, but untill tuesday i could count the number of times i had danced with a cute guy on the thumbs of one foot, so even before i got his number i had a HUGE confidence boost

its a shame i cant get in touch but maybe he'll be there next time, or someone else will be

pulled! properly this time. I got his number, hes got mine, he's already texted me once... plus a good old fashioned make out session in the club :colone:

so is that 'confidence being sexy' thing true then cause ever since that guy I mentioned above my confidence has been pretty good and whenever ive gone out this week it seems like every guy i look at wants a dance.

admittedly, that black dress that does intresting things to my chest proberly helps, but ive worn that out before...

well, whatever, had a good time last night :biggrin:

before i forget, a sidenote; this seems to be about the time we all discover what really irritates us about our flatmates. not the big things, like loud music at all hours, but the little things. like not emptying the bin in the kitchen. etc.

Haha, quality. I'm from Essex too and have applied to Wolverhampton - not sure what to firm yet but this thread is making me giggle.

last night i proved beyond all doubt that i get drunk a hell of a lot quicker and to a higher degree on cheap wine than on mixers. as ive said before, im a lightweight, i drank a double malibu and coke and then i drank 3 of those mini bottles of wine you get, which are currently 3 for £4 at ASDA.

So I predrank a little too effectively and generally made a fool of myself, hanging on to my friends arm as we went to Babylon. The bouncers wouldnt let me in ( which, with hindsight, was just as well, if i had thrown up in there they would have banned me. i havnt seen babylon yet thought :/ ) then i wandered around town alone with no idea where i was until i got close enough to accomadation fo a flatmate to collect me. i didnt recognise him but i went with him anyway and in the end i was throwing up in my room with two of my flatmates doing thier best to look after me.

you can imagine how i felt this morning.

this was the first time ive ever been sick because of alcohol or had serious gaps in my memory of what happened.
