Well,

Because of SAAS (Student Awards Agency Scotland) screwing up Andy's loan and what not we cant go on holiday until next year :(.

They say he has been working an only granted a fee waiver.... He left his old job to start college, but I dunno if someone with a grudge has called SAAS and say he was working... Neither of us are too happy.

May see about a weekend in London or something, with me paying.

    Why the conspiracy theory, Pamie? Sometimes the world turns against you just because it does, not because someone is being Machiavellian. DD

    What is the true purpose of the loan? In my day the student grant just about got you through term time, it was for rent, food and books. DD

    Its for rent, living, and being able to study, without mine I wouldn't be able to still live at home and travel to Aberdeen.

    We are meant to be going halfers on rent, bills etc for a place for us, but that cant happen either because the travelling is taking its toll on my joints n what not, so its basically screwed a lot up (cant live off mine alone). But SAAS is like getting jobseekers allowance, you work when you apply you dont get....

    what about a part time job pammie, for your boyfriend to help with bills while studying. My daughter always had a part time job while studying at 6th form and uni for extra cash, even though she travelled from home to uni.
