    celyn90 - a lot of courses have PDF versions of the course material now, have a look through the course page for 'alternative formats', if not, try asking on its forums as disabled students will often be given them. Then they are Kindle ready :D

    oohh brilliant! thank you! :o

    I've registered for s282 and ms325 to start in feb. Odd first modules I know!
    I'm current;y waiting on the phone to talk to financial support but does anyon here have any advice? I need to provide evidence of some earnings in 2010/2011 but as I wasn't in employment at the end of the tax year I never got a p60 and they were odd temp jobs and one i never "left" i'm still on the books. I've got p45, p45 for leaving a job and all the payslips- do you think this will be good enough? Whilst applying online it mentioned p45/60 but the printed forms only ask for a p60.

    i just got off the phone to them (after 30 mins queueing!!) and they said a p45 would be okay though i oly have that from one job. another was with an agency so i'm enclosing a final pay slip with pay to date and another job i never actually came off the books so didn't get a p45/final pay slip but i barely work for them! i've got to do a cover letter explaining it all eeek. i'm gonna need a bigger envelope for all this :D
