Morning everyone thanks to ETO for the new thread :T and welcome to startingtogetoutofdebt and DaveK I get where you're coming from with the long walk .... I like things like that to clear my head / focus on things to do - 3 mile walk am & 4 to 6 mile walk pm but I do have a dog so that's why I do it!;)

little rant coming so please feel free to ignore ..... but I do feel better having now got it off my chest!!!!

I've been doing mine in stages (HNC then HND) as a) more affordable and b) getting a qualification along the way .... but have now hit a stumbling block:

If I go full time for the last 2 years - I get it paid but being single & having a mortgage etc, I can't afford to do this
If I go part time for the last 2 years - I get nothing :mad:
If I do it online (Scottish Uni) - I'd get part funding but none of the Scottish Unis do the course online :mad:
If I do it online (English Uni) - I get no funding & it's nearly £5k:eek:

*sigh* ...... not sure whether to even bother TBH - £5k is such a hugely ridiculous amount of money to pay at my age

P's me off TBH as if I got benefits of any kind (ie if I had kids), I'd get it all paid for & money for laptop, books etc ...... any particular reason why single people don't deserve the opportunity to better themselves the same way that those with kids can?

Sorry ..... sore subject

Best of luck to everyone this week

Hi!

Can I join in for £10 please? I don't include any essentials like food for meals or travel passes but anything extra will be!

I have uni for 4 days this week and work the other 3 so I shouldn't really have much chance to spend anything anyway!
