Gemmzie OH earns just above the threshold for tax credits of course they don't take into account the high expenses he incurs, everything looks great on paper just not in reality. It's because he is a contractor, but gets no sick pay, no holiday pay, no notice period, no security... rough with the smooth I guess.

My pack was missing a couple of bits too but I can at least log in. The website for my course is not up yet though so not exactly useful!

Is he self employed as a contractor??? therefore high expenses should be taken into account. My OH is a contractor and I certainly take his expenses into account...

I'm doing an OU course and I find it takes a lot less time than they say it should. I can't fathom the website though, this is my second course and I haven't found the forums and stuff for either!

Good morning everybody

IA - :eek: at your poor ceiling! I bet that's created a mess and a half hope they sort it soon... FAST...

I cannot speak still which is just great with a toddler around! I am whispering 'Elliot, Elliot' at him and he is totally ignorant to me! Thankfully we have some books with buttons to press to make noises so I can read to him AND save my voice!

I've received my first OU mailing and feel completely intimidated by it and wondering when on earth I am going to have time to do the work. If I left my job we would be -£600 a month - and I feel lucky to even have that after childcare. More than that really as I'd need at least a day's childminding to allow me to study. I just don't see how I can make this work. But I have to.... other people do

Will maybe pm you later DD but I do my studying at 5am till 7am weekdays (not at the minute though) sounds crazy but it works for me.

Lol Sammy that's great.

My favourite band did a song called tequila, that tour was fun!

I went to see them whilst pregnant with Chloe....40 and jumping up and down like an idiot....can't remember what they are called though for the life of me at the minute..

I am having a lot of 'senior' moments today........
