Hopefully we’ll get a pack from bath through the post. We are finding dribs and drabs online (student uni page is useful for finding info on freshers week timetable and accommodation Facebook groups - he’ll have to sign up for FB..) . A few other things like registering with uni then arranging parking for drop off
But nothing from the uni yet - I assume/hope they aren’t relying on people diffing this up for themselves and there will be more info coming. We were through clearing so I don’t expect it immediately but clock is ticking
Got kitchen stuff from Argos, and DW is taking other kitchen and bathroom stuff (mostly collecting stuff we have in the house but crockery will need to be bought inc plastic glasses if we can find them). Orders some ikea DIMPA bags. We should be done with shopping by next weekend I think which gives us time to focus more on the admin
Accommodation application next big thing - should come today or tomorrow. We’ve agreed with DS the preferred order - don’t care which block just going by facilities. Self catered, shared bath first preference, then anything on campus, then city (but not shared). Well take the financial hit to keep him on campus if possible
DW also suggested we tell him we’ll pay for train fare any time he wants to travel back. Both reassurance for cost and an indirect way of saying ‘don’t stay away if you want to pop back’ as the direct method just gets an ‘oh stop it mum’ from him :)
