Its Family Holiday time next week, but what waits for me, on my return is really stressing me out.

I will have to borrow a lot of money for University fees, I won?t say how much, it is scary, even to type, and I have saved some?when my Mum and Dad went to College and University they received grants?they received money directly from the tax payer, something they seemed to have conveniently forgotten about.

Dad goes into one about, ?why should the tax payer have to foot the bill??
Is his favourite,?.and what a hypocrite!

All his University fees and accommodation was from taxpayer grants, in other words he claimed and received money and vouchers from the tax payer, and he ?lived? with Mum when they were at College, his excuse was too to save money !!
They were both only 19!!

Only one year older me!!

That really upset Mums family, they talk about this even now.


What if I suddenly announced that in an effort to save money for my study fee I have decided to advertise for a suitable Boyfriend on E-Bay, to share flat and expenses with possible view to marriage if we graduate and gain appropriate employment?

He would lay an egg after throwing a planetary scale wobbler, closely followed by Mum swinging her favourite wok..

Mum says that they will help out but I sometimes feel this is begrudged, although this could be me thinking too much into it.

But the mega sigh my Dad made when he clocked the year on year cost break down, between course, tutoring, and study material (Books lists). It almost as if he will have to sell his prised record and CD collection, you know I would hate ?to rain on his parade?, but if my future education depended on the sale of his record collection I could well be working filling selves in the local corner shop.

I know I am moaning and I love my Mum and Dad dearly, but why do parents go all self righteous and forget what life was like for them at 18, allot of my friends have noticed and noted this too.

Hikki never had these problems !!!
