This is just gonna be a short and angry post as I'm running late to get to the bank and then go see my brother's girlfriend and the kids.
But ANYWAY.
As if I'm not having enough money troubles as it is at the moment, but then yesterday I receive a bank statement in the post, and oh great, somebody's spending my money abroad. And racking up a load of charges with it!
I couldn't believe it. Fair enough if these tossers want to clone somebody's card and spend hundreds of pounds of somebody's hard earned money, (well, NOT fair enough) but why the hell pick on a student who's bound to have no bloody money anyway!
Unbelievable.
So yeah, I've been given a number for the fraud line, which I need to ring today, but I've been told I could be on hold for around 45 minutes and the call costs 5p per minute, so I'm going into the branch to use their phone instead.
I am not happy.

Skint Students
I nearly forgot about this blog. I promise to keep it up now though.
So the second year of uni is now done and dusted, and the past few weeks have been spent moving back and forth from Lincoln where I'm at uni, Market Harborough which is home, and Cambridge which is where the other half lives when he's not at uni with me. And now, since we finished for summer all I can think about is money. I hate being a student. All I want to do is have money and travel, but all I seem to be spending money on is petrol. Apart from at the minute, cuz there's a ridiculous strike on by Shell lorry drivers and it's almost impossible to find a garage with any petrol left in it!
So yeah. I'm feeling pretty skint at the minute. I rely purely on my loan! I've got two jobs at the minute, one in Lincoln and one back at home, but I'm not getting enough shifts to make either feel worth while. And now me and the other half have decided that next summer, when we've finished uni, we'd like to do a bit of travelling around America. So I've now got my heart set on it. I have a year to get as much money together as possible. Ebay it is then!
Anyway, that's my rant about money over and done with. I'm gonna chill out for the rest of the evening now, back in Lincoln for a couple of nights and watching the O.C with Lucy!
