Anything bothering you right now?

That sucks

Thanks dude
I'm dreading Christmas too. To be completely honest I would rather that Christmas would just be my partner and I at home with our pets. Family = Drama.

So, according to student finance:

- Dad earns more than ?60000. Bollocks. Reckon he can negotiate a payrise based on what they say he earns?
- Mum is earning more than ?0. Also bollocks. She doesn't work.
- My sister is a) Not over the age of 18 (she is), b) Not in full time education (she is), and c) Not financially dependent on my parents (she is. How she'd not be I don't know, she doesn't even have a job which Student Finance's "checks on household income" should have flagged up.)

So because of all these things which are apparently true, but which in reality aren't, I'm apparently eligible for a lot less student finance. I don't have to pay the "overpayment" (which really isn't an overpayment) back, which is good because I'm not entirely sure how they'd expect me to magically come up with the difference, but I am going to get a lot less in my support payment come January. Which is fucking great. The amount I had in the first place wasn't really enough as it was. Going to appeal this, but given the speed that it takes this bloody company to do well, anything, I'm probably not going to get the full amount I'm entitled to for a while.

Looks like I'm going to have to go and have an awkward conversation with my parents about "could you please lend me some money, student finance have screwed me over again by saying we're super rich."

Edit - Jerry, the Pound sign isn't working properly.

Side note, It's been forever since I used this site I totally forgot how to navigate around it lol

What makes you think that?

Thanks for the hug and the response I appreciate it, but multiple factors...-right now I think it's more so the feeling of loneliness despite being around other people?

you and me both :/

I'm really sorry you feel the same way, I know it's not a fun feeling.

My puppy's breeder sent me an email... Because of weather we're expected to get here soon, she won't drive him up here until at least next Monday

A woman who I show dogs with did an amazing thing for us today. She was in the area and she stopped by to pick up Ghastly for us. He is home. I cannot thank her enough.
With everything that is going on with us right now I am beyond grateful for this kind gesture.
I will post pictures of Ghastly in the pet thread.

I was browsing on another forum and I saw that some guy had started a thread ranting about how unattractive American women are and he basically described exactly what I look like and called it "disgusting." I feel very crappy about myself right now.

That guy is full of crap. Notice how he is evasive when other posters asked about his dating experience in Japan? He probably hasn't even gotten laid there once.
