    My maintenance loan doesn't even cover my rent in London for uni, so I've told my parents to rent out my room at home in Oxford for ÂŁ600 it's honestly such a godsend because without that cash I would literally not be able to survive on my income and student loan, if your parents agree I would 100% reccomend telling your parents to rent out your room at home, you can just sleep in a guest bedroom or share with your siblings when ur back home for holidays.

    *UPDATE*
    I've updated the spreadsheet so that it has a 'Scholarship/Bursary' section under 'Incoming Expenses', as well as changed the 'Outgoing Expenses' so that there is a section for 'Subscriptions' AND 'Miscellaneous'. ALSO - those of you who are already subscribed to my Newsletter, I'll be sending out a mass email tomorrow with a link to the budgeting spreadsheet so you don't miss out
