    What did they say to you today scoob when you went over to the welfare office? I asked about payments and she couldn't really tell me anything. Just said that they would send me a letter about it!

    Will be needed the monies as there wasn't that much food in the goodie bag! lol :D

    Well I just asked her where they were up to with me BTEA claim and she asked me if I had the letter. I handed her the letter and she told me to just keep getting me JSA from the post office in the mean time. I said, 'really, even though I start college on Monday?':confused: and she said yes. So I said will it take about a week then to move over to BTEA and she said well it will probably take a bit longer then that. So Seb I'm just guna keep drawing me JSA as long as I can and keep on at them about the claim every few days.

    I got my bag from UCC last Friday, mainly full of ads for societies, a calander
    Two campus newspapers, a free sample of hot chocolate and coffee, an issue of hotpress,

    Free durex condoms too which were laid out on a table to take away, just the basic no frills ones
    I taught they would have included them in the bag, especially for the girls who were probably too shy to take them

    Registration day in St Pats Drumcondra. My goody bag consisted of a small box of Special K, a Ribena Plus drink, a sample of Airwaves chewing gum, a pencil, and a bottle opener. There was also a few advertisement leaflets and todays Irish Daily Star.

    You're right there Scoob, no gel either. It must be only in those godless dens of iniquity, the institutes of technology, that you get that stuff :D

    I was also surprised the when we did the campus tour, the Cat & Cage wasn't included. :rolleyes:
