I am looking for a parent and fresher to chat to for Money Box Live next Wednesday. In my Ideal Radio Dream World, you’d be willing to audio record yourselves with a phone out shopping for uni stuff at eg supermarket or Ikea.
Felicity.hannah@bbc.co.uk is my email - please share if you know someone
My fresher is going off with most of the contents from her great grandparent’s kitchen! My lovely grandad has just moved into a home, so it was perfect timing. I love that she’ll be using my Nana’s saucepans and utensils. Plus easier to spot the 60s crockery in a shared kitchen!
Oh that’s beautiful! Would you consider coming on and chatting about that but also about wider student living costs?
Sep 2, 2025 11:08Sadly can’t next week, but feel free to use the anecdote! It’s nuts that loans aren’t automatically linked to inflation. So many rely on parents for living costs but what about those who can’t? I can see why a lot of bright kids go for degree apprenticeships but they’re like gold dust.
I could record with you this week if you were keen but don’t worry at all if you’re not and don’t want the faff 🙂
More that my daughter would explode from embarrassment! Thanks though.
