MOOLOO'S continuing saga Part 4

Eager_Elephant

Hi Mooloo

I'm sorry but I am another one firmly in the camp of don't do it!!

I have seen a lot of people through my work who have signed up for this course and then things went wrong such as job loss so unable to afford the fee, no support from the course online and some who just gave up.

They then received a bill for the rest of the course plus cancellation fee etc so before you know some of these people owe £3000+ for a course that was potentially worthless.

Do you have a learning education centre near you? We have one in our nearest town connected to a college in the next biggest town but the courses are held in our town so no travel and they seem to offer a range of courses.

Could DS not go back to college or has he burnt all his bridges there?

i cannot see how he will ever afford to pay you back any of it either , i think you would have to look at it as a gift if you paid for him (i think you also mentioned that his dad has health and money worries of his own )

Yes, I see in the light of day, that it would be rather a risk for me to fund him. I shall certainly look to the terms and conditions and point them out to him. Also disguss his lack of stickability.
Yes his father is useless for support.

Re DGD I shall get the treatment sorted today, and then I shall also tell the nursery that she has the problem again.
I am not sure what their protocol on them are?
I may not be able to leave her at nursery, which may be a huge problem today as I have the councilling etc today.
May have to leave her with her Mum or Aunty. Least I know that Mum's place is spotless today!
Boy do I know, I ache all over. Dispite a hot soak in the bath and heated blanket under the sheet.

Just got a few minutes to check my emails and pay the odd bill.

no thats fine, I was thinking of doing a google on them, but left the leaflet behind with DS as I came home just before the man had left.
Anyway, I will be careful, and I will not intend to pay the money without DS giving it back.
Still not got her up to bed. Monkey.
now to top it all, I just found out that she has worms again! So now its clear out everything all over again, and get the tablets tomorrow for her. All we need. Right time to sign out for the night. Exhausted.

You'll also need to treat yourself for worm infestation and her mum as well, and the washing of clothing, bedding and thorough cleaning is going challenge your arm - and your stamina. You have my sympathy and I don't envy you all that housework.
If the IT learning company are willing to sign your son up knowing he has insufficient income to meet the costs then that tells you everything you need to know about them. It's your choice whether you stand guarantor for him and that's a tough call. In your shoes I would want concrete proof from him that he's spent time in the local library every day for the next four weeks doing a free online course before any signing up to one that has to be paid for happens.
Just my thoughts, and HTH

Having just pushed my body to its limits cleaning and sorting out Mum's flat, and sorting everything out there, I am going to struggle to do the work here. I dont think there is a part of me that doesnt hurt at all.
Just pushed myself to have my shower, get dressed and get the school run done.
I have had to get my SOA sorted out. As obviously thinking about spending money I needed to know where I actually am.
As my money across all the accounts etc is less then £400 (once the CC is paid), then I am going to have to say, No for the time being anyway.
I will also need to re think my trip to Bristol as although the money for that has been spent on the card I think that I can have a refund if I cancel early enough. So before I go out in 40 minutes I think i iwill just investigate that one.
But first I have had a cuppa and a bit of a rest so off to strip DGD's bed.

Mooloo - regarding DS's course, a lot of the online computer ones are very expensive and while they may make promises can't guarantee a job at the end of it. Also online ones require a lot of discipline and self-motivation. Has he tried looking at local colleges as they usually offer computer courses or if he does want to stick with online then Open University (they have a lot of access courses to introduce people back to study so don't let the fact it's a 'uni' not a college put you off) - with both those he should be able to get help with his funding for being on benefits/low income.

All I know is that DS won't be able to get a student loan for that kind of course: he doesn't have A levels or their equivalent, does he, so it's not at a high enough level.

I'm another in the 'no' camp.

It's going to be unimaginably tough for you, but the eggs can scatter so thorough washing of clothes/bedding/soft toys etc and house cleaning is really important so that she, and possibly you, doesn't become constantly reinfected in the home environment.
There's more info here on what needs to be cleaned, why, and how

Gizmo, I tried to send you a PM but your inbox is full. Wasnt anything much. just asked if you were going to the Bristol meeting still.
Just changed my hotel booking to a cheaper option at a B & B outside of Bristol. EEk. coming on my own now as poor old Molly is just not well enough to come, and I am not fit enough to help her.

Got to go, time to gather up twin2 and take her to the councilling. Rang the doctor about the Worms. Waiting for either an appointment or a prescription as the tablets are so expensive.
