Well, it's the start of a new term.. lectures began again yesterday.

I have got myself two jobs for this term:

1) Fire warden for my corridor
I actually applied for this back in October, and another girl got it, but she's moved into another corridor now so I'm the new one. I have to check all the fire extinguishers and so on in my corridor in return for a 10% rent discount - so £6.20 a week.

2) Telephonist in development office
I just got this job yesterday - I don't start till Feb. I'm just doing 4 hours a week on a Monday evening, calling alumni and asking for donations to the university's fund. Pays quite well - starts from £6.35/hr - and fits in my terms. £24 a week.

Not fortunes, but they won't interfere with my work much, and that will cover all my weekly food/entertainment costs

I'll be back in a couple of days with spending diaries..
