it is hard.... i can remember when my outgoings (bills and debts, never mind groceries and petrol) were more than my income... so i know i have come far.... but the thought of spending £750 of a £1200 a month take home pay on rent is horrifying...

Maz :eek::eek::eek: thats a crazy rent amount - I pay £800 in zone 1 in central London :eek::eek:, geez had no idea Scotland was soo expensive!!!

True but you can get a studio here for £650 (same location) rents have fallen massively here (shame I cant afford to move...)

Refusal of £1 offer par for the course bookie.
Pay £1 token payment anyway.

Does it need to be a paragraph? Can you do bullet points, at least to start with?

DD when I was a small child my mum put me in playgroup once a week at the local city farm - v cheapness, lots of outdoors and lots of other children to play with - anything like that nearby??

But it does sound like this other job might be just the ticket anyway - now the essay is done you can concentrate on applying

Thanks Becky, that sounds idyllic - nothing like that here but there is more provision for 3 year olds which is only next October :eek: so more options will open up, I could even pay a few hours with a childminder to help me study it's just finding one :rolleyes:
