    G G would you need the internet to help with your new job? There is also a firm that does study courses for free, can't remember the name right now but someone will. Can you sign up on one of these so you are studying so need the internet?

    I'm studying with the OU, so I need a computer for this, I also need extra bits and pieces for studying, it's a science course so I have to do little experiments.. :T

    BI= beneficial interest..and i know nothing about it.

    Edit:you both beat me to it......

    Ah, okay, yes.. I looked into this quite a lot as we certainly did not want that to be an issue for us as OH has quite a bit of equity and it would be a disaster if that happened.

    They do have study meetings in Leeds every now and then, so I would need extra money for transport.

    Trying to think if there is anything else I can put down..

    The rent would be the major one, if I could get that on without there being a possible BI then I would be ok I think.. How do they determine BI? Would it be from before the date of bankruptcy?

    Just to warn you that your HK may be cut. But it is better to start high and quibble downwards with the OR.
