OU Students Past, Present and Future

Hey all, I've had a mad few days but will update the thread now, sorry!

Just finished my degree BSc Open, after starting (again) in 1999. Two years break in 2004/5.

MU120, K100, Understanding diabetes, Exploring psychology, Child psychology, Psychology summer school. SD329, S320.

It has been a struggle at times; with earlier courses I attended tutorials, but with later ones, due to family commitments and location of tutorials it was not often possible to get to them. I would say that if I can do it, then anyone can

Currently studying S104, having finished S196 in January. Going on to do MST121 in Oct and then hopefully an BSc Open Degree.

This is my first post on here, and my first time with OU, so I was hoping to join you. In April I start course D270 family meanings. It is a short course at level 2, and my main reason for doing it is that I would like to top up my DIPSW and do my final year (over 2 yrs with the OU), but am a little bit rusty as I haven't studied for 7 yrs. Doing the short course will hopefully enable me to work out if it is possible time wise to fit in the hours to do the degree and also get me back into writing essays and studying again.
I will be studying around being a SAHM to 3 children aged 6yrs, 4yrs and 1yr.

I would just like to add on here that I have a Tesco Credit Card for which I earn clubcard points. I also shop in Tesco and buy fuel from there. I am currently saving my Tesco clubcard vouchers towards my OU courses as they are part of the clubcard deals that you can get. I think it is something like for every £1.00 you get £4.00 in clubcard deals. So for a course that may be £400.00 it only costs £100.00 of clubcard vouchers. For anyone who doesn't qualify for assistance with fees, this may be a good option. I buy anything I would normally purchase with a debit card, on my credit card, shopping, fuel etc. and then go straight home, online, and transfer the money from my bank to my card so that I don't ever build anything up on that card. This (should)earn me a good amount of points!

Yes I mentioned it in post #40 although I have been trying to work out if it is cheaper to shop elsewhere and save the money you would have spent in Tescos on paying for your course especially as extra points have really dried up.

All you law students...is anybody going to the seminar on Friday? It cost £5 - absolute bargain!
