Don't forget as I said on another thread - books are so expensive - you will get new/or pristine condition books at Abe Books for a huge reduction and better still they can be posted direct to your baby!

Someone want to send me a food parcel....I am a poor student!! 2 of us living at home are in Uni and my son is at Uni in the UK..... Dont know if you could send a food parcel big enough tho for everyone in this house!!

Taff, Helen,

My sons grant got sorted this year and now he has money,thankfully and not living off noodles and beer anymore! Mind you I expect the beer still plays a part. I was lucky as I managed to get onto a manager in the loans/grants dept and she had my letter explaining his circumstances in depth. She was great and even sorted out his grant appeal for 2007-2008. Thankfully now he has that money ans this years money is starting to come in now.

So, anyway, food parcels????

lol

love Theresa

Marianne - my g.dau graduated this summer and it was me she came to for food parcels and each Sept she went back with 2 boxes of basics and tins - never asked her mother!!!!!! Each time she came home popped round and raided freezer for home baking to take back. Now she is working nothing has changed there are jars of jam/chutney/marmalade/pickles/beetroot waiting for her. She cannot have any baking until my wrist heals!!!!
