Ok, ok, I know it's a pretty weak pun of a headline, but this week I have finally reconciled my account with the contentious grant replacing Student Loan people. And only 12 years after first utilising that funding for important student books and equipment like pints of Snakey B and patchouli oil. I actually feel like I own my BA outright and in full now, and I intend to use it more often in polite company.
It also means for the first time in my adult life (if you ignore my mortgage - Cheltenham & Gloucester please can you do the same, please, please?) I am officially loan free. I owe you nothing, uuh eer, nothing at all.
So it's good timing that the boiler should stop doing the boiling bit its name suggests, now I am flush with all this extra cash. Let's hope they don't mind being paid off in small installments over a decade.
