She dreaded the thought of putting her nice landlord in a bind, or even worse being evicted and having to leave her studies.<br /><br />It was all true of course -- except for the bit about being "only £10 short" and "unexpected". In all there were a few dozen of us who carried her through that year, and I really suspect that most of us weren't fooled, and knew we were each willingly providing 10% of what she needed every so often. We all went along with the charade of gifting the "last £10" and she completed her degree. It helped that we all knew she was a hard worker both in employment and studies, and that she lived frugally.Douglas2noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-19665445958228340022016-11-03T10:18:49.998-05:002016-11-03T10:18:49.998-05:00I do wonder if the boyfriends got anything at all ...I do wonder if the boyfriends got anything at all out of the relationship.
