I'm SO happyyy.
Basically, before I started college I applied for EMA, and I'm entitled to £30 a week, but because the system's stupid, and due to a load of errors&delays, I still haven't received any money [I applied in like August, it's now March]. I was told to reapply last month and they'd sort it. In the meanwhile I've been saving up lunch money for a rainy day and have about £200.

I phoned up again the other day and they told me that once my college have put my name in the system or whatever, I'll be backpaid to September.

That's like... £700/£800!!!!
With the money I've saved, that's almost £1000.
I'm so excited. That's a lot of money to me :\ I don't think I've ever been given more than like. £100 haha.
I don't even know what to do with any of it.
tbh I'll end up saving the majority of it for if I need it for theatre school or auditions/costumes or whatever and live off the £30 a week I get from now on.
I'm just.
Wow. Mega happy hahaha.

Anyone else get any cash payouts like this?
