Damn Vanilla, I forgot to film it I'm sure DH wouldn't mind me putting a video of him on YouTube while naked.

PrettyBlueDressForTheXmasBall · 13/09/2016 07:54

My goodness don't that must have been so scary. At least kitten and dh are OK. Shame about the stairs though.

Portia & Helena I just hope ex doesn't find me again. I don't want to keep moving.

I wouldn't mind Grin

I've just discovered three grand in my bank account Confused

PrettyBlueDressForTheXmasBall · 13/09/2016 07:56

AGL is it a student grant or loan? Or just totally random?

DontFuckWithMyChocolate · 13/09/2016 07:56

Maybe one day I'll wake up and find three grand in my bank account. And pigs might fly.

AverageGayLadAtChristmas · 13/09/2016 07:57

I think it's a tuition fee loan? What's it for? Do I spend it? What on? Confused

DontFuckWithMyChocolate · 13/09/2016 08:03

Nice holiday AGL? You could have a few nice holidays with £3k. Fuck RL, live in the moment. Totally sound advice you should definitely take it.

AverageGayLadAtChristmas · 13/09/2016 08:07

What is it for though? Grin

DontFuckWithMyChocolate · 13/09/2016 08:10

Did you apply for a student loan AGL?

AverageGayLadAtChristmas · 13/09/2016 08:11

Yess, a maintenance loan - £8400 or so - which I haven't had yet!

DontFuckWithMyChocolate · 13/09/2016 08:13

I'd advise not spending it until you know where it's come from and what it's for. If it's a student loan it's for books etc, but I'm pretty certain when I had my student loan, it was paid in three termly instalments of just over £1k.

DontFuckWithMyChocolate · 13/09/2016 08:14

AGL could it perhaps be a first instalment?

AverageGayLadAtChristmas · 13/09/2016 08:14

See my tuition fee loan thing is supposed to be paid in three instalments, £1380, £1380 and then £2760. I've had the £2760... There's no books to buy, they're all available free online!

Xmasfairy86 · 13/09/2016 08:16

Don't I got it free for 12 months with my phone contract. I like it. despite its lack of Taylor Swift!

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 13/09/2016 08:16

AGL tuition loan goes straight to the uni. You never see it.

Maintenance loan comes in three instalments, not one big lump. Smile

DontFuckWithMyChocolate · 13/09/2016 08:18

XF I don't like Taylor Swift anyway.

AverageGayLadAtChristmas · 13/09/2016 08:20

Ahhh so it's a third of my maintenance loan?

DontFuckWithMyChocolate · 13/09/2016 08:26

Sounds like it AGL.

AverageGayLadAtChristmas · 13/09/2016 08:32
VanillaSugarandChristmasSpice · 13/09/2016 08:47

Don't forget it's got to last you until January AGL - try and limit yourself to £150 per week and then you'll have change for a nice Christmas present for yourself.

I must remember to tell a school mum that DS isn't going to her littleshitDS's birthday party at the weekend. This mum accepted for my own DS's birthday party and then they never turned up. I'd had to pre-pay the boy's activity and food. Halfway through the party she texted me to say he had a tummy bug. Yeah, right.
