Is it just me or is it difficult to live off a studentship in London??

My funding is pretty average (i know people getting even less than me) but everything costs so much. My research is pretty intensive, it's usual for me to work a 50 hour week in the lab so that doesn't leave me with much time to find a part time job that I can commit to.

Anyone else with the same problem? Any ideas for making extra money?

Cheers in advance...

I started a thread last week called Financial Difficulties - search for that and have a look at some of the posts regarding earning extra money or saving money.
