    Morning everyone :) thanks to ETO for the new thread :T and welcome to startingtogetoutofdebt and DaveK I get where you're coming from with the long walk .... I like things like that to clear my head / focus on things to do - 3 mile walk am & 4 to 6 mile walk pm but I do have a dog so that's why I do it!;)

    little rant coming so please feel free to ignore ..... but I do feel better having now got it off my chest!!!!

    I've been doing mine in stages (HNC then HND) as a) more affordable and b) getting a qualification along the way .... but have now hit a stumbling block:

    If I go full time for the last 2 years - I get it paid but being single & having a mortgage etc, I can't afford to do this :(
    If I go part time for the last 2 years - I get nothing :mad:
    If I do it online (Scottish Uni) - I'd get part funding but none of the Scottish Unis do the course online :mad:
    If I do it online (English Uni) - I get no funding & it's nearly £5k:eek:

    *sigh* ...... not sure whether to even bother TBH - £5k is such a hugely ridiculous amount of money to pay at my age :o

    P's me off TBH as if I got benefits of any kind (ie if I had kids), I'd get it all paid for & money for laptop, books etc ...... any particular reason why single people don't deserve the opportunity to better themselves the same way that those with kids can?

    Sorry ..... :o sore subject :o

    Best of luck to everyone this week :)

    Hi!

    Can I join in for £10 please? I don't include any essentials like food for meals or travel passes but anything extra will be!

    I have uni for 4 days this week and work the other 3 so I shouldn't really have much chance to spend anything anyway!
