Being a mature student, a very skint one..

congratulations wellylass on the new job. You've done so well, especially when you've made such a huge life change. Hope the job and course go well. It's an exciting new start!

Flexibility of the job sounds perfect and I'm sure will work well with uni.

You sound like you're doing amazing, don't be harsh on yourself. It's a massive steep learning curve going back to education. Make sure you ask for help for tutors and I bet if you speak to people on your course they all feel the same.

My hubby did his degree by distance learning and it was a huge shock for someone who left school without a single gcse. He kept plugging on and graduated with a respectable 2-1. He's nearly finished studying for his masters now. Hard work but so worth while.

Keep smiling welly x

3 weeks today and I will have moved :eek::eek::eek:

So much to do and so little time to do it!! I've sold a few more things yesterday so that's another £20 to go in the pot.

I'm trying to find a charity or someone who has just got their own place and maybe doesn't have much. I have loads of kitchen utensils that I don't need and plates etc that might be useful to someone. I know you can get these things really cheap these days but I started with one set of cutlery one plate and a glass off my mum when I moved in here so it all helps!!

This next week is my last full week at work :eek: I'm so excited but terrified at the same time!! My student finance has been reconfirmed so that's good so just waiting on a start date for my job now.

I've also decided to start matched betting again, I found it so easy last time I kind of gave up due to my own patience as I didn't have a big bank roll to be doing the decent offers.

As the saying goes every little helps!

What course are you studying at uni? Matched betting will be helpful, if you can find the time. I found it so time consuming despite numerous people on forums claiming they do half an hour a week and earn a minimum of £3000 a week :cool: :rotfl: I used to spend about 20 hours a week to earn about £25 a week I keep meaning to get back into it, but I just don't seem to find time.

Well done to your husband. I left school without any GCSEs and returned to university as a mature student. I initially gained my English and maths GCSEs at night school while working full time, then I did a number of course through the Open University. I had a break of a number of years when I gave to birth to 2 more babies within the space of 15mths, but then returned to a full time university study. I completed my degree, then my postgraduate certificate in education and am now teaching full time (well will be back to full time from January)/ I will be registering to start a masters from next September

I believe if you want it badly enough, you can do anything :T
