Ugh lame. I just tried registering at my local GP so I could get my vaccinations before I came to Kent and they refused because they wouldn't have my records in time for my moving date! :frown:

And to add to the confusion, they couldn't understand why I hadn't had any already, and I had to explain I had been in the US and missed them all.

I really hope these vaccinations arn't compulsary.

I'm having the least productive day ever.

Went to GP to try and get registered, and I couldn't..

Tried to open a student account, but couldn't because I didn't have my term address to hand.

I woke up at 10:30am to do stuff for nothing. Humph.

You start off with the £1,250 and then it goes up in year 2 etc, etc. If you stay 'til year 5 you get the full £3,000. :yep:

I'm with NatWest, as I've banked with them for a few years now - but I'm pretty sure I won't get the overdraft as I'm already in money trouble and have a bad credit score because of my phone bill and such.

*grins* Dear me, things are a little ****ty in my head right now. But I'll sort it out.

SUPER KITTY ALWAYS LANDS ON HER PAWS!! :biggrin:

When I contacted them they gave me details [in plain english lol] that said that you'd get more your first year if you had some sort of steady income...eg salary, obviously the loans etc and parental contributions which I'll have..so I'm hoping for a little more, to be on the safe side :yep:
