Thank you trowelfodder, I did get something from my university from a hardship fund with a little bit from a fund set up for female students, but when I got it uni made it clear they don't normally fund placement students but as I'd incurred exceptional and large costs they would send me something. The feeling I'm getting overall is that once you've got what you can and it's gone that's that. In regards to the weekend work, if I do work on a saturday then my placement gives me a day off during the week so not quite working 7 days straight.
I want to thank every1 who replied to this thread, theres been some really useful advice. I'm going to consider the thread more or less closed now. I've emailed my student union and will see what they come back with if anything. Thank you again guys
