  <WSC#DPC170:0555:JU>
      <O>coughs</O> well they're meant to be fairly <,> FIXED because
      they're <O>tut</O> a kind of discount rate but they have
      apparently been quite helpful and flexible <,,> in the past so
      she's hoping that they'll allow her to change it once more
      <&>6:00</&>

  <WSC#DPC170:0560:AL>
      oh that's cool <,,>

  <WSC#DPC170:0565:AL>

      <[>mm</[></{>

  <WSC#DPC170:0575:JU>
      sorry

  <WSC#DPC170:0580:AL>
      they might charge her transferral fee or something

  <WSC#DPC170:0585:JU>
      mm <O>tut</O> they didn't when she had to stay cos of her father
      in law <{><[>mm</[>

  <WSC#DPC170:0590:AL>
      <[><softly>mm that's true</softly></[></{>

  <WSC#DPC170:0595:JU>
      mm so i'm not sure <,> exactly when she's going but that's the
      plan

  <WSC#DPC170:0600:JU>
      she's going to come back here <,> <O>tut</O> and hopefully <.>s</.>
      hopefully <?>i love saying that</?> <inhales>hopefully</inhales>
      <O>coughs</O> she'll be able to settle verity into the flat
      properly before she goes back and then they'll both feel <,>
      reassured <{><[><?>next week</?></[>

  <WSC#DPC170:0605:AL>
      <[>and kirsty</[></{> can't move in

  <WSC#DPC170:0610:JU>
      mm apparently not

  <WSC#DPC170:0615:AL>
      so <.>that</.> that's weird how she can't get a loan until
      easter <,,>

  <WSC#DPC170:0620:JU>
      <O>tut</O> who said that

  <WSC#DPC170:0625:AL>
      verity did <,,>

  <WSC#DPC170:0630:JU>
      is that when they make the first <.>p</.> payment out to
      students

  <WSC#DPC170:0635:AL>
      don't know <latch>

  <WSC#DPC170:0640:JU>
      mm could be because in the past <&>7:00</&> when they used to
      have <,> <O>tut</O> you know when students used to get forty six
      dollars a week even if they were living at home i think the
      first payment was quite late into the term

  <WSC#DPC170:0645:AL>
      <O>tut</O> so what are they supposed to do

  <WSC#DPC170:0650:JU>
      <O>tut</O> borrow live on charity live on your parents <,>
      whatever

  <WSC#DPC170:0655:AL>
      well couldn't she borrow off her parents until easter

  <WSC#DPC170:0660:JU>

  <WSC#DPC170:0665:AL>
      <?>with</?> her parents <{1><[1><?>or</?></[1> her <{2><[2>parents</[2>

  <WSC#DPC170:1000:JU>
      they seem quite keen to foster golf for the girls for some
      reason but it <.>isn't</.> it isn't in fact only our school and
      it isn't only girls but they've offered free coaching to anybody
      who's interested <,> between nine thirty and eleven on sunday
      mornings about twice a month <latch>

  <WSC#DPC170:1005:AL>

  <WSC#DPC170:1130:AL>
      for personal reasons

  <WSC#DPC170:1135:JU>
      well i actually said because of illness and injury <.>but</.> to
      the secretary but she didn't actually <.>a</.> cos i had to
      leave here cos i had to go away to teach <,> and i asked her to
      do the cancellation for me cos she had to ring both the club and
      the school <O>tut</O> but she didn't give the reason so anyway
      the next day <.>i</.> i got a phone call from this woman <?>golfer</?>
      <?>who's</?> sort of president of something or other around the
      city <,,> and she wanted to know if <.>it</.> if we had in fact
      defaulted because the girls didn't have transport or something
      or other <O>tut</O> and she just said that she would be willing
      to help <{><[>or take them</[> out or something <.>if</.> if we
      got stuck and um not to feel that we were isolated <.>if</.> if
      that in fact had been the cause and i said well it wasn't and
      that was very nice of her

  <WSC#DPC170:1140:AL>
      <[>oh that's nice</[></{>

  <WSC#DPC170:1145:AL>
      that's good

  <WSC#DPC170:1150:JU>
      and um <,> <O>tut</O> anyway <.>she</.> <,> i <,> was walking
      around with the team on monday that must have <&>13:00</&> been
      last <{><[>tuesday or</[> wednesday

  <WSC#DPC170:1155:AL>
      <[><unclear>word</unclear></[></{>

  <WSC#DPC170:1160:AL>

  <WSC#DPC170:1170:AL>

  <WSC#DPC170:1175:JU>
      and the two opposing people and then this woman came up and she
      said that she was the one who'd spoken to me on the phone and
      she had heard been told that there were twelve girls in this
      competition so she'd come out to <{><[>see</[> them and um <O>voc</O>
      and encourage them and so on and sarah particularly um found it
      really helpful because she just gave her a bit of coaching <?>round</?>
      the shots and was really encouraging <&>13:24</&>

  <WSC#DPC170:1180:AL>
