Gahhhh. I can't find the letter from the student loans people that I need to send back so they don't try and take money off me while I have none. A simple matter of just logging into the website and requesting another, surely? Oh no, because they've changed it, don't believe my ART ID is what it is, won't send me my new password and I can't ring them as they're not open at weekends.

Stupid student loans people.

I had the same problem with the online system nearly 2 years ago. It kept saying my ART ID was wrong, despite me having letters and emails with it on. I rang them up and they said I had to print off a form to correct the mistake they had made and send it to Glasgow. So I did that and the guy said he'd reopen my account. I'm still locked out of it and did the whole thing using the paper form last year. It would be nice to get back into my account. The guy on the phone told me that without a password I can only access my account over the phone once and then they'd post me a new ART ID and password. They never did. So in theory I can never access my own student loans account again. Sadly I doubt that means that I will get away without paying.

What sucks? I spent a whole afternoon watching people eating lovely looking cake that I couldn't eat and I want to go back to Nottingham. I only need to get through tonight, tomorrow and tomorrow night and then I'm freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I'm hoping when I ring them they'll just send me the letter I need again and it won't take too much hassle... then again this is me this is happening to and I couldn't even get my free bus pass for 6th form without a fight.

The T-Mobile website is rubbish too and won't let me in with my username and password that I know are right and they won't send me a new activation code so I can't get in and if I ring them they say they'll send another but I have never yet received one let alone the 5 or so I've asked for. This would be fine if they hadn't just changed to using online bills not paper ones. :-/

There/ They're/ Their. Different words.

what DOESNT suck? lol

i'm not getting overtime at work so i gotta try and get by on 30 hours a week, I split up with a long term girlfriend after paranoid accusations of cheating, A girl at work I like has told me she likes another guy we work with (fortunately I havent told her how i feel lol) and all my friends have college/uni/work during the day so I'm bored out my mind after I finish work.

My 2 cousins have had a punch up. They were drinking wine, and my older cousin said that the younger one doesn't bring her kids up properly. Younger cousin then jumped on older cousin, and scratched all her face (she's had to go to work plastered in make-up). Older cousin retaliated by giving younger cousin a black eye. I'm keeping my opinions to myself. It's all really blooming stupid.

as i expected, work has died out a little in january. luckily i am very careful with my money and have lots of backup in the bank. i expect it to pickup next month but i really could do with some form of other part time job or something of the kind in the week to help me out a bit, any websites that people know of (where i could look for jobs or drop off my cv) would be a massive help.

its only a little thing, but can I add the fact that my neighbours are getting cavity wall insulation at 8.45am on saturday and the noise made woke me up. Normally it wouldnt be too bad but I've been having trouble sleeping recently so I wanna go do some murders

Would you consider being a virtual office assistant. There's a Site for that. Can't remember name.

What is really driving me up the wall at the moment (it doesn't suck, it just annoys me greatly) is the fact most people in here at halls pull me up because if my dialect. It's starting to bug me that wherever I seem to go, people who speak to me and my friend (he's in my flat and is also Cumbrian) demand us to speak "properly" and then proceed to take the mick out of things we do say differently such as "moor" and "poor". I used to like the Cumbrian dialect but now people are making me feel stupid, gyah!

Nottingham. Now that I don't have exams I have no excuse for the apparent lack of my social life. I just DON'T want to go out with any of my uni mates, really. My friend always makes fun of my double life - he says that if I get the two personalities mixed up I'll end up going Where's me gin?! in court. I find it really hard to become attached to anyone which means I really miss my friends back home. It would really help if I had one good friend in Nottingham but I know this isn't going to happen in the nearest future. I'm so glad my boyfriend is here with me.

Also, I still haven't got a clue where I'm going to live next year as my boyfriend still hasn't heard from Nottingham. This could be a problem.

Ok so some more words of wisdom (or not....) from a third year. As far as housing goes, seriously, don't worry. I have a couple of good friends who got screwed over in first year by the people they were living with and one ended up with just her and a friend so they had to advertise for housemates and found 4 lovely girls who they lived with last year. Another had to look at adverts for houses and found a room in a nice house close to campus with people he got on with fairly well. In fact, he's still living there this year. There are more than enough places to stay so whatever happens, you'll be fine for housing. The people who get houses early tend to get worse deals. The losers I lived with last year got a decent house easily enough after Easter.

As for social life and friends, it is so hard to find people who are as good as your friends at home. I got screwed over by my friends from school which left me in a bit of a difficult position and I know I keep telling you that it takes time, but you will meet people or get to know people better who you do get on with. January is a weird month in Nottingham because without lectures in all 3 years here I've found myself seeing a rather limited group of people.

Oh and lectures start tomorrow so that'll keep you occupied ;)

What sucks in my life? I've got a very long day ahead of me tomorrow that I'm not looking forward to. And the dissertation deadline is looming ever closer.

    • Conor Knight & Lauren Layfield are in for Matt & Mollie on Monday 14th July.  Matt is solo on Tuesday 15th July.  Jerry is in for Mollie between Wednesday 16th & Thursday 24th July.  Maia Beth is covering Future Pop on Wednesday 16th & Wednesday 23rd July. On Sunday 27th July the Chillest Show is reduced to an hour, and 20.00-21.00 is a BBC Proms special with JADE. On Thursday 31st July 18.00-20.00 in place of Jack's show it's the Dance Party Warm-Up with Danny Howard (ahead of the Ibiza weekend).
    • Dean McCullough in for Greg w/c 4th August. James Cusack on EB.
    • Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter. 
    • Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?
    • Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.
    • Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!
    • Jamie Laing’s last show before his summer break will be on Wednesday 16th July.
    • I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days 
    • Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.
    • With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.
    • Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now 
    • Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday. 
    • As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.
    • Going Home presenters have done the last few years ?
    • Nat and Vicky are being sent to Ibiza this year. They’ll be live on Friday 1st August from 1-4pm.
