If you want to get a degree have you looked into doing one with the open university?
I think the OU is an option you should really consider. Its also part time so it would mean less pressure, you can work around periods of illness and if you do a course, you are credited for it. It won't matter if you then take time off you will still have that credit.

Considered it, have done a couple of OU modules in order to get myself on to my degree programme - the simple reason why I didn't chose the OU for my degree is that I want to study something which the OU can't teach me - most of the universities in the UK don't have a course in it
