Money, money, money...

It seems strange that once again I start with part of a song, it must be that DJ in me!!!

I called student finance today to find out what was happening with my claim for the childcare grant. The fees are 135 pounds a week. I received 48 pounds from the tax credit office and 30 pounds from the child benefit office. It doesn't take a mathematician to work out that I just don't have enough money. I know that it's something that all students complain about but shit, I've got a family to feed. It makes me question whether my decision to return to studies was a good idea, or a little self indulgent.

My application to the student finance department was sent before the deadline, but, they needed more information, which I sent, as soon as they requested it, but; my postage was six pence short and, the information was returned. Damn that new postage system, what the hell is it all about anyway?
I then sent it by registered post, take away almost five pounds of my already low budget, it arrived but, after ringing the office three times to find out what was happening, I was told today, that my claim hasn't been updated as yet, and, it could take a few weeks.

Hey, no worry, there is always a solution......








I could just sell the kids!!!

p.s I did have some for sale photos but this damn computer doesnt have firefox!!

Money, money, money it's a rich mans world...
