    They are lovely Beanie :)

    Right I need to get a plan of Debt freeness action plan together...The mention of going to Italy in the Autumn for a long weekend is being talked about and I need to get money together to be able to afford this off my own back. Must re-do my SOA and bloody well stick to it!

    Just the one Beanie...stands at around £1500 have offered £900 F&F then I have a housing benefit overpayment to repay which is £600 :( I wanted to do this OU course in sept but at £600 I don't think its going to happen. Although Ive found another 2 jobs to apply for one of which is full time (term time only) so would actually give me a decent income! :)

    Yes still waiting to hear about the F&F, if they don't accept I shall use some of it to clear the HB overpayment then give the remaining to the debt so it will be clear quicker.

    You should get help with the OU fees I think? Have you looked at http://www3.open.ac.uk/study/explained/financial-support.shtml ?

    Thank you for that I had no idea I could get help...would get all the fee's paid and a £265 grant which would pay for childcare on the days I need to be at school to do placement :) Right job for this evening is to apply for the course!
