Goodbye Telford Court
My girl in UK has stayed in Telford Court since September last year. That means it has been almost 10 months since she left for her studies in University of Hertfordshire. We have been paying 500 pounds for practically 10 months for the rental. It's about RM2,500 every month. On top of that, we sent 500 pounds every two months for her expenses. My girl is a thrifty one and she survived on that. I was always worried if that amount was enough.

So yesterday, she has moved to a new place which is so much cheaper as she shares her room with another student. She told me that she has got herself a part-time job which can occupy some of her free time. Soon it will be her graduation. I will be there for her graduation which is in November.
At the meantime, goodbye Telford Court!
i hope your girl enjoys her new environment. best wishes in her future undertakings.
ReplyDeleteI hope so too..
DeleteGood morning Wenn...
ReplyDeleteHow times flies, she's there 10 months liao...
ReplyDeleteIs the new place nearer to her university?
ReplyDeleteyes, her new place is still near her uni..
DeleteWill u be transiting in Singapore when you go there in Nov?
ReplyDeletethis time I will take the direct flight to London..
DeleteHave a great day ahead...
ReplyDeleteyour girl is so mature and independent too. Can think of how to help out the parents .
ReplyDeleteany photo of the new place?
Deleteyea, she's a good girl..
Deleteshe will post her new place soon..
Burning holes in the pockets for some and digging deeper in the pockets for some when comes to education in overseas.
ReplyDeletereally can feel the pinch..
DeleteTime sure flies
ReplyDeleteindeed..
Deletewow, time flies and it's already 10 months your girl has been there in UK.. couple of months later she'll sit for the exam and later you will be flying there for her graduation.. ahhh, reminds me of my good old days~~ :D
ReplyDelete£500 for accommodation a month?? wow, that's very expensive, i remember mine was like half of that, of course was more than 10 years ago!! haha.. £500 for two months of expenses, i think more or less there, i was quite thrifty also~~
ReplyDeletegood girl!! she's getting a part time job to help ease your financial burden.. :)
ReplyDeletethankful that she understands our financial burden..
DeleteThat's quite a lot of money spent... But that's the greatness of being a parent, hehe~
ReplyDeleteGraduation in Nov? Means another oversea trip for you! Syok!
Deleteyes, another one to go before the year ends..
Deletewow she's a great girl huh,
ReplyDeleteinstead of going shopping or winding around during her free time
she choose to work, im sure there's a great future ahead of her
well I can feel how proud you were for her!
ReplyDeletecongratulation to her and to you too
anyway, about sharing room i think there's nothing
ReplyDeletewrong about it, actually it would be better
for her just to have someone around
by the way is your husband going too?
ReplyDeleteI bet he wants to see his daughter on that special moment
no, her father has to work so I will have to go instead..
Deletehave a great day and happy blogging wenn
ReplyDeletetake the best of care and god bless you always
Time really flies.. so fast she is going to graduate already..
ReplyDeleteyes, indeed..
DeleteGood that your daughter is thrifty. £500 for two months should be enough. I remember using £30 per week for food for two persons when I was living there but of course have to cook at home and not eat out. My rent was only £575 per month but that was for a whole 2-bedroom house. Guess the rental went up a lot now.
ReplyDeleteI guess you must be looking forward to November to see your daughter again. All the best to your daughter!
yes, I'm really looking forward for her returns..
DeleteGraduation soon in Nov. Good for her.
ReplyDeleteYour gal is very matured and independent. Good to hear she got a part time job over there. Guess this is normal, most of the students there did the same thing too, for sure.
ReplyDeleteit was like just a month though you talked about your gal going there to pursue her studies. Right now, left a few more months for her graduation. Looking forard into that.
ReplyDeleteI supposed to came here last night. Too tired with work!
ReplyDeleteWish you have a pleasant day!
Hey your gal share a room with another student, this is a good idea too. At least she's not that lonely or get bored over there.
ReplyDeleteTime really flies!
DeleteYes, my girl is very considerate and kind too..
Definitely a good idea to share room..
The fees in UK is so scary to me. I heard that colleges and university fees in London are even higher than the skies!!!
ReplyDeleteDon't feel bad, somehow the overseas grads have better exposure and more independent. Her qualifications will be hers forever and give her a good future - Education Is Better Than Gold!
ReplyDeleteMy mum pointed out to me that during my US studies, the exchange rate was only RM2.50 : USD1.
ReplyDeleteI reminded her that she was even screaming that it was so high in those days! I saved her money by not going to study in Japan.
High expenses in UK nut it's a privilege to have the chance..
Deletewhat course is she major in? are you not letting her to work and gain experience working in the UK?
ReplyDeletestudying in the UK is definitely much more expensive but it is a prestige to be able to study there. Hope that we will be able to send our girls to study in the UK in the future.
DeleteShe's doing mass com and we encourage her to stay put there if possible..
