i am desperate to go to uni in sept for a 3 yr degree but just wondering how ppl survive financially without having to take out student loans. I have no kids, no bills to pay so was thinking of getting a job in asda or tesco's at weekends to get me thru. would this be possible?

Of course it's possible. You can try supermarkets, bars and pubs, warehouses (for picking and packing) - anywhere that operates a shift system so that you can work the hours that suit you.

If I remember from your other threads you don't work at the moment - you could try any of those places for some temporary work up until September as well, to get you started.

Thanks girlfriends! Just needed that reassurance that it worked and I would end up taking a loan.
