Child off to University this year! Any one else going through this experience?


Recommended Posts

Back in the day... in my first year at Uni, many of my fellow students would have their parents send them off with a huge supplies of essential foods - pasta, backed beans etc and would boost their supply as and when.

Sadly I can't provide much personal advice as I attended a London Uni and chose not to live on campus or anywhere else except home (mainly due to lack of funds, and didn't want to burden myself with a student loan). Deffo encourage your sprog to get an easy part time job to help when the money gets low tho. :))

Nooooo, no the medical tests.

I've a friend who's worked in the pharma industry, mostly in drug trials, for many years. He says all the good drugs are taken up in house. The ones left over for paid volunteers are referred to (quietly) as 2-headed monkey trials.

    • Hello All, I'm after sun hats for adults some with physical and learning disabilities who enjoy outdoor activities with an organisation I volunteer with. If you have any caps, bucket hats, or aussie type sun hats that you no longer use or would like to pass on., any condition...I know some very appreciative peeps who would be very grateful. If you need info then please DM me. Thanks for reading.
    • I had the same thing happen about a year ago... a couple of times in fact. I obviously react a lot less to posts than I used to because it has'nt happened again!
    • The link below has further information suggesting that the shop demolition and square redevelopment is funded separately from the station upgrades, so will go ahead:   https://www.ianvisits.co.uk/articles/peckham-rye-stations-step-free-upgrade-has-been-put-on-hold-82360/ 
    • Last time the toilets were out of operation in the station M&S we were all told to go out and up to Sainsbo! Certainly didn't close (I'm not suggesting that's the thing the library should do!)
