Or rather, doing the limbo underneath it.

Still no student loan.

Still no pay from work.

I have about £56 in overtaxed stuff but can't claim it until I have a copy of my passport, which I don't have because the student loan company needed to check I hadn't had a sex change in the last 6 years of giving me a loan.

Still no word from temping agency.

The problem being that I'm now £990 overdrawn in a £1000 overdraft. Crap! I've paid most of my way so far so refuse to ask my parents for help- although I did concede to my mother paying my travel buddy the £100 I owed him for an emergency extra night at the hotel and ticket from urumqi to shanghai. It's only a loan of course but it just adds to the debt. I just hate the idea of friends lending me money so would rather owe my mum than a mate.

So, how best to spend my last £10 before payday in two weeks' time... Make that £15.76- I went all the way to the bank to drop in the coppers I've amassed over the last year. I just wish my loan company would sort itself out.

edit- WOO HOO!!! A few careful phonecalls and my application is getting fast tracked. I should be seeing some loan money in a week! YESSSS!
