Re: Laura Hall
nobody here has factored in the cost of pencils, books and rubbers (and I referring to the type that prevent errors not correct them).

Re: Laura Hall
Breakfast & dinner (in digs): 3 per day x 25 days = 75
Dinner out: 10 x 5 times a month = 50
Lunch out: 4 x 30 days = 120
Entertainment / booze: 105 per month
Transport: nil
Phone: nil
Books, clothes and other expenses: paid separately by me
Haircuts: when he comes home
All other significant or one-off expenses: paid separately by me
He says he's found a couple of local pubs where beer's less than 2 quid a pint, which equates to 50-60 pints a month, or 10-15 a week. On reflection, that's fairly restrained.

Re: Laura Hall
He says he hasn't got a girlfriend yet (he had/has plenty in Ilkley)--although the vast majority of his course are Chinese, and a good number of them female, they don't mix. And in his digs there's only one girl. When he does no doubt the expenses will go up.

Re: Laura Hall
My rationale for the 350 was:
Breakfast & dinner (in digs): 3 per day x 25 days = 75
Dinner out: 10 x 5 times a month = 50
Lunch out: 4 x 30 days = 120
Entertainment / booze: 105 per month

Re: Laura Hall
Working in a bar might not be such a bad idea. He would see the effects of over-indulging from another person's perspective. Also reduce drinking time.

Re: Laura Hall
Dinner = steamed veg, pasta and chicken
All students are allergic to fruit
You can do that on 3 quid a day. Or am I being tight?

Life is tough. Having fun can be expensive and is a privilege, not a right. The sooner people learn that the better.

Re: Laura Hall
Is he living in the halls where he can get prepared meals or is he out on his own in some type of shared flat situation?
When I move to London I'll probably easily spend 400-500 quid a month on food alone, but there's virtue to learning how to survive on cheap food. I ate nothing but pasta and canned fish for four or five years during my student years. He can eat well on your allowance...as long as he has the capacity to learn how to eat on a tiny budget.
